Saba Compensation@Work Now Available in Saba Cloud Fall Release
Delivers Predictive Analytics Solution to Pinpoint at Risk Employees and Show Cost of Retaining vs. Replacing Your Most Valuable People.
Bracknell, UK, December 3, 2014 -- Saba (OTCPink: SABA), a leader in cloud-based intelligent talent management, announced availability of Compensation@Work™, a predictive solution for simplifying and personalizing the increasingly complex employee salary and incentive pay process.
The Saba solution, developed with a cross section of large and mid-size enterprise design partners, uses patent-pending predictive analytics algorithms to surface many otherwise hidden indicators, or “signals” of the value, engagement and cost of team members.
“Compensation@Work sifts through dozens of signals in your business to net out the intersection between pay, valueand risk and then recommends pay and incentives for the people driving your business. Strategic compensation doesn’t have to be complex, but it needs to be right”,” said Saba Chief Technology Officer, Hemanth Puttaswamy. “Compensation@Work is both simple and sophisticated; it is to incentive pay what TurboTax is for expediting tax filings. “
Compensation@Work is:
- Simple, Yet Sophisticated: A comp plan-building wizard makes the very complex plan creation process super straightforward for administers at various levels of expertise. Built-in “What if?” budget creation tools, analytics and best-practice worksheets inform budget strategies.
- Smart and Proactive: Patent pending algorithms identify high risk/high value individuals and then provide concrete and personalized recommendations, comparing the real cost to retain vs. replace them. Having this data up front, makes it possible to be proactive and thoughtful about retention strategies. Salary and incentive recommendations can be compared at individual, departmental and company-wide cost levels.
- Flexible: User friendly worksheet configuration includes a built-in advanced rules and formulas builder. Compensation administrators can access and load external data from multiple sources for big data-based audience segmentation and worksheet configurations.
