Zinnov Launches 2010 HRO Benchmarking Studies
Zinnov is launching a comprehensive 2010 HRO survey to address the following needs:
- Process level benchmarking: The need to understand how peer group companies are performing across various metrics and various HRO processes is becoming critically important as companies continue to look for cost savings
- Lack of Disciplined Methodology: Average of Average really does not mean anything to many executives. Many benchmarking studies do not provide the correct granular level information and aggregate too much resulting in poor decision making. We have designed a powerful methodology to solve for this
- Comprehensive Taxonomy: Our taxonomy and quantitative modeling is very powerful as you will get analysis by location, by process, by metrics and by engagement model. A revolutionary approach in benchmarking. Click here to sign up

Talent Pool Snippet from Egypt: "Since the university courses are not in par with industry requirements, companies have to invest in training employees. It usually takes between 6 to 8 months for an employee to reach productivity levels "
