Lawson Software announced the extended availability of Lawson Talent Management, an enterprise software solution within the Lawson Strategic Human Capital Management System. Lawson Talent Management provides talent acquisition, compensation management, performance management, learning and development and succession management functionality integrated with a core HR system. The new solution is delivered in a single software suite delivered in the Software-as-a-Services (SaaS) model.

"Organizations are demanding a new alternative in the human capital management market that will truly deliver actionable information about their most important assets - employees - in support of their business strategies," said Larry Dunivan, vice president of Global Human Capital Management Products for Lawson.

"With Lawson Talent Management as part of our overall Strategic Human Capital Management System, we are delivering advanced tools designed to help our customers meet their increasingly-challenging global talent management and workforce needs."

Lawson Talent Management is designed to help organizations strategically manage, develop and retain employees and improve the ability to identify and develop top talent and emerging leaders. By identifying and optimizing talent, organizations can maximize employee effectiveness and efficiency, and drive improved profitability.

Charter implementation customers for Lawson Talent Management include Commerce Bank, a nearly $50 billion regional financial services provider with 15,000 employees and more than 470 stores serving much of the East Coast; France-based Manitou, the world leader in the manufacturing and distribution of rough terrain forklift trucks; and Sitel, a global Business Process Outsourcing services provider with 67,000 employees located in 27 countries.

"Lawson Talent Management gives us the tools to be more effective in recruiting and retaining top talent," said Jo-Anna Rubin-Berman, vice president of Human Resources for Commerce Bank. "In an HR sense, that's what being 'strategic' is really all about."

In addition, the suite brings Web 2.0 technology by enabling employees to promote their company's open positions through their social networks via a Facebook widget. This can tie into a company's referral incentive programs.
