MOSCOW,
Idaho, June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Lightcast, a provider of trusted global labor market
data, analytics, and expert guidance, announced today it has
achieved Workday Certified Integration status. Workday,
Inc. is a leader in enterprise cloud applications for finance
and human resources. Through this integration, Lightcast can
provide customers with a seamless integration that connects Workday
Human Capital Management (HCM) and Workday Skills Cloud and
with Lightcast Talent Transform.
The integration enables joint Workday and Lightcast customers to
enhance their Workday job profiles with Lightcast labor market
data, creating the foundation of a skills-based organization with
skills profiles, access to granular supply and demand data, and
insights to competitive hiring trends.
With this integration, joint customers also have access to the
Lightcast Open Occupations, Open Titles and Open Skills taxonomies.
These global taxonomies of more than 1,900 occupations, 75,000 job
titles, and 33,000 skills complement Workday's existing skills
taxonomy, and can help users understand which skills are in demand,
how they relate to each other, and how they can shape hiring and
talent management strategies. The combination of global skills
trends and internal insights allows talent managers to get more
value from skill initiatives, such as deploying skills-based hiring
and career pathways, and gain a comprehensive view of the internal
talent landscape and external benchmarks.
"Research by Lightcast and others have shown that skills-based
approaches offer a material return on investment, but we see many
organizations struggling to realize that return because their
internal data isn't benchmarked against the broader market.
Lightcast products are purpose-built to bring external labor market
data to organizations. The integration with Workday HCM will help
enable organizations to build a skills-based talent strategy that
is scalable, market-driven, and most importantly, actionable. This
is a significant milestone in our mission to help organizations
unlock new possibilities in the labor market," said Lightcast CEO
Chris Kibarian.
Bridgestone, a global tire and rubber manufacturer, is already
using Lightcast's skill insights. Developing effective career
pathways is an important part of talent strategy for Bridgestone,
which has approximately 130,000 employees and operates in more than
150 countries. "Pairing Workday HCM with Lightcast's global
external data and market-driven skills recommendations provides
enhanced visibility into the skills our employees need to progress
in their careers. With this robust talent intelligence data, we're
more confident and clear in our skills strategy," said Susie Long, Bridgestone Senior Vice President
for Talent Acquisition, Management, Leadership Development,
Engagement, and Culture.
More information on Lightcast's integration can be found on the
Workday Marketplace, which provides easy access to solutions built
by Workday and its software and content partners.
