The Finest Software Professionals in the World
by Lois Melbourne
When you think about Workforce Planning, hiring is always an early and critical component of that plan. An important point of the analysis is the quality of hire. Well, I can tell you right now, Aquire has that one down pat. Aquire held our Structure 2010 User Conference this week, and it was wonderful. Beyond the fact that our customers are outstanding and added a great deal of value to the event, my employees were amazing. All the adages about “employee engagement can be felt by the customers,” “hire well, live well,” and “raise the bars high and great employees will reach them,” were in evidence.
The experts at Aquire not only presented topics on workforce analytics, methods of succession planning and their ROI, best practices in reorganizations, org charting and modeling your workforce through mergers or other changes, they also conducted focus groups, entertained our guests, and built more long lasting relationships. One even taught me how to do the Texas Two Step.
The customers loved it. I am so proud of the Aquire workforce. They worked hard, they played hard, and they did a great job with all of it.
We also presented the launch of Aquire InSight™, the newest addition to the Aquire portfolio of products. The excitement really grew as people learned about how easy it could be to understand the trends, metrics, and talent mobility of their workforce. After the big room presentations, there were MANY more sideline presentations of this powerful offering of technology and services. Customers discovered that, finally, they can analyze trends and their talent pipeline, leader by leader in a really easy format. The energy was running high every day.
I was charmed by my customers and, once again, blown away by my staff. The Aquire team deserves a big shout out for their planning, execution, and participation in not only their day jobs of creating and delivering workforce planning, modeling, and succession planning software, but also their participation in such a great event. I introduced the team to the customers as the finest software professionals in the world and I meant it. We have the best!
Cheers,
Lois
