“We wanted to connect the dots so that great talent wasn’t lost, and associates felt that the organization cared about more than just their current role. Instead of spinning their wheels, leaders can quickly identify top talent. We built an employee encyclopedia – guiding leaders who might be ripe for a project or role.”
