As Principal Research Analyst, Chris Marsh sets the vision for and manages the Workforce Productivity and Collaboration practice at 451 Research, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence. The WPC practice focuses on a broad range of enterprise software including technologies supporting workforce planning, project and work management, collaboration, content and innovation management, learning and skilling and content creation. The team also covers the full spectrum of HR technologies from candidate marketing and recruitment through core HR processes and out to new types of employee engagement tool.
As part of his role, Chris owns the team's Voice of the Enterprise survey data product, which surveys a mix of business and technology leaders and employees around the pain points, frustrations, aspirations and strategies supporting workforce productivity and engagement.
The WPC practice has worked with hundreds of enterprise, technology vendor and investor clients providing compelling strategy analysis, data analysis, market and competitive intelligence to a range of CEOs, CMOs, CPOs, strategy, corporate development, communications, analyst relations, senior product marketers and product management teams.
The company has a keen understanding of how to support collaborative remote employee engagement with its web-based digital collaboration workspace that enables team facilitators and individuals to excel in ideation and problem solving.
The vendor's platform is designed to support employees via features around collaboration, social engagement, and business apps. With an all-in-one approach, Claromentis intends for its platform to help minimize application toggling and keep employees well informed and organized.
Voice of the Enterprise: Workforce Productivity & Collaboration surveys a panel of mid-level and senior professional decision-makers to provide you with actionable data and insight to track critical workforce transformation dynamics. The Employee Engagement survey wave was conducted from October 7 through November 6, 2020 and represents approximately 1,000 web-based completed surveys by IT and line-of-business decision-makers, managerial and non-managerial employees.
Our survey data on employee engagement highlights unmet employee needs, adding to a growing mandate around employee engagement that will require more specific strategies than most companies have in place. The trick for organizations will be to look at how these areas are interconnected and reinforce each other.
More vendors in the workplace productivity market are embracing the all-in-one approach, but these platforms can come with their own challenges, like bloated tools that overwhelm end users with unnecessary functionality. Simpplr offers employee intranet software that connects distributed teams by delivering the right content to the right people.
Businesses have benefited in 20 years of SaaS, but also had their work split across a growing number of focused application silos. The resulting friction impedes business objectives, and the supply side is responding with new converged enterprise platforms. We believe this is a new era for SaaS, beyond what has been the prevailing 'best of breed' narrative.
