Firms Link Employee Surveys to Business Transformation

In the UK, employee engagement and staff survey specialist IBM Kenexa has partnered with business transformation firm Emenex, to deliver end-to-end survey and consultancy services based on its Smarter Workforce suite of products.

The IBM Kenexa business was formed in 2012, following IBM's $1.3 billion acquisition of Kenexa, a specialist in employee surveys and organizational assessment. The 'Smarter Workforce' products integrate human insight, smart technology and big data analytics, to help clients drive organisational effectiveness.

Through the new partnership, IBM Kenexa's technology and infrastructure will be combined with Emenex's ability to use employee survey data to promote and support organisations through business transformation, and tie business success to employee engagement. In a statement, IBM Kenexa said: 'Organisations now have the opportunity to drive peak performance and improved business results using the power of workforce science, the precision of data analytics and expert, specialist consulting, to ensure that employee surveys underpin successful business transformation'.
