AI SMART objectives - this item is already available to customers.  It helps your managers and users to write better objectives based around the SMART format.  Using AI, it helps to ensure objectives are specific and measurable.

You can request this is switched on by raising a ticket with our help desk.

We are, in the next few months, adding a toggle so you can switch this on for your organisation in a self service way.  

AI SMART objectives ✨

We've added a brand-new Global Objectives report to Kallidus Reporting and Analytics. We designed this report to help Perform customers understand how individual objectives align with their organisational goals.

Global Objectives Report

Learners will be empowered to track their CPD with a new interface in Learn; reducing the need for manual admin or reports to keep people on track.

Continuous Professional Development

We're looking at ways we can bring in AI to help you understand your data better. Whether that is categorising response sentiment, trend analysis, or helping you to author and refine reports, we're exploring all the options!

Let us know of any useful suggestions below, and we'll take them into account!

3rd party content integrations

In much the same way that Perform administrators can bulk upload objectives, we plan to enable you to upload reviews to groups of individuals.   

Enabling you to target specific reviews at specific groups as an administrator.  Reducing the time it might take managers to assign reviews to their team.  In addition, recurring assignment ensures new joiners get the right review first time.  

You can contact the Product Manager :  mike.smithers@kallidus.com

Bulk upload of reviews in Perform

This is currently in Beta. If you would like this to be turned on for you then please contact the Product Manager, Phill - phill.Lord-David@kallidus.com

Create a skills taxonomy in seconds rather than months! Utilising Ai you can generate a list of relevant skills for your organisation. Later, these skills will then be used to tag content or map skills to individuals to create a personalised skills profile

AI Generated Skills (In Beta) ✨

A new skills profile will show learners what skills they need and have to perform in their role, whilst enabling them to take ownership of their own skills gaps; seeing what progress they need to make and discover relevant content. 

We are also exploring how to recommend and surface recommended skills to learners as new skills emerge in your business

There will also be AI supporting you in suggesting which skills might be useful for your profiles

Skills profile - Learner

Connecting tools to Kallidus Reporting

We are planning to make changes to Perform Administration to allow more people to use the administrative and reporting functionality in Perform.  

This extension will focus on giving sub administrators access to certain data without showing all users within the system.  We are also restricting certain core administration functions from these users so they are unable to create new review templates or do branding within the system.  

Security model for Perform Administrators

We've added a brand-new Objectives Summary report to Kallidus Reporting and Analytics. We designed this report to provide Perform customers a high-level overview of objectives so they can effectively monitor progress across their organisations.

More control over notifications

Check out this new feature in Kallidus Reporting & Analytics! 

Report reminders enable you to share links to key reports with your team members via email on a schedule. Reminders serve as a call to action, ensuring reports are being reviewed in a timely manner and that team members are always viewing the latest data.

We're introducing a new Sapling admin workflow to facilitate seamless employee role changes. 

The first phase of this workflow will help ensure you update all relevant custom tables and effective dates when a user is promoted/relocated. ​

Future phases of this feature will include document, email, and task assignments as well. ​

May 2024 update - since February, we've launched the all-new Kallidus Reporting & Analytics to about 16% of our customers as early adopters, and will begin adding access to the rest of our customers over the next few months. You'll also see additional ideas on the roadmap relating to further enhancements we're considering for Reporting.

We're reimagining the way you access business-critical data and insights from our products. Expect brand-new reporting tools, powered by Power BI, to monitor and understand your L&D data easily. 

The new Reporting & Analytics hub will: 

Reporting Reimagined

Data connections enable you to export Power BI datasets to your own SFTP locations on a continuous cadence. Once exported, you can extract, transform, and load the data into your external reporting tools however needed.

Export reporting data to SFTP

We're considering how best to expand our reporting capabilities to serve more of your HR ecosystem... and we'd love your thoughts! Please reach out and share what you'd like us to connect with.

Cross-product reporting expansion

We know sometimes customers want to grant people access to specific reports and information (either on a one-to-one basis, or collectively) but without them having access to the full reporting experience.

These people can be employees, and sometimes might be external people who for some reason need access. How can we enable this, while giving a safe and secure way of customers managing that sharing?

Making a report available to more people

Check out this new feature in Kallidus Reporting & Analytics!

If you have a report view you find especially useful or visit frequently, you can now set it as your default view! Once set, the default view will automatically apply when you launch that particular report.

Set a default report view

Check out these new features in Kallidus Reporting & Analytics!

Saved views allow you to filter a report and save the specific slice of data as a reusable report view - allowing you to focus on data relevant to you and your teams quickly and repeatably.

Shareable Links will allow you to securely share your reports and saved views with ease.

Group your report views

We're investigating more ways of increasing how often report data refreshes, so you can have even more up-to-date information to carry out your needs!

Improving how often reports refresh

We're looking for feedback on the most effective areas to apply optional generative AI to summarize information you or your team members have added to Kallidus products.

Generative AI for summarizing

This piece of functionality uses AI to recommend courses using a clustering algorithm.  In short, it uses similarity features to recommend courses to an individual based on their similarity to someone else who has completed learning that this person has not.

Recommending in this way means people get intelligent and refined recommendations which grow over time.  

AI Course Recommender ✨

We're going to build reports that help to bring Learning and Performance to life across the teams, all in one view.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on this; please use the feedback button below to share!

Cross-product reports

We are working on a new identity and login service that will give our customers modern identity management capabilities. Whether you use Single Sign On, or Kallidus manages your identity and login journey, we're working to make this the best journey possible for you.

This development allows for you to use multiple single sign on (SSO) providers.  It will, in 2024, allow you to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) through the use of authentication apps.   

May 2024 update:  We have received lots of helpful feedback about our new offering.  It is great to hear it is resolving issues for customers.  We are working through your other bits of feedback and starting to work on some improvements to the login flow.

We are also working on a self service upgrade page to make upgrading easier and more in your control.  This is being tested throughout April with a view to getting this available in May/June.    

Please share any thoughts or ideas with us as we build out this capability!

We've worked hard to deliver a revamped PTO solution for Sapling called Absence Management. 

This re-work makes many improvements on existing behaviours, and it adds new functionality that is essential to managing people in dynamic organisations!

As part of the new Absence Management module, we are introducing Working Patterns.

A Working Pattern allows you to capture an employees expected working day(s) and number of hours they work each day in the morning and/or afternoon. There is also support for multi-week Working Patterns.

Working Patterns will bring several benefits to Absence Management:

We've seen great adoption of our new Course Promotion tool, and had some really useful feedback. Based on what you've shared, we are adding a number of new features... first up is the ability to target the promoted course to specific groups.

Course Promotion improvements

We are making a small improvement to the group rules in Learn which should give greater flexibility for customers to create pathways for learning.  

You can assign lessons to users who do not pass a lesson with 100%, by adding them to a specific group.

For example:
"Lee completes their Fire Safety training, but scores 80%. While 80% is a 'Pass', Lee is also enrolled onto a 'Fire Safety extra learning' course so they can have additional learning in this area."

You can find out more about this improvement in our Help portal:   

Add learners to groups using lesson score

Improving our feature-set to make Learn a next-generation learning environment, supporting social and collaborative learning.

We've added user-generated content to allow your users to share their knowledge. We have also made sure the tools for Administrators to effectively control and moderate  are in place.

We have started with videos (MP4 and .Mov format).  These can be videos that are pre-recorded or you can record directly from a phone.  

You can choose who you wish to make this available to.  You could choose all your users or narrow it down to a more focussed group of Subject Matter Experts. 

If accepted through moderation, all UGC videos will create courses and lessons which are made available to a specific catalogue.  These can be moved around like any other course/lesson within the system.  

 
We'd love your thoughts on this one, so please share your views!

User-generated content in Learn

Enabling administrators to promote a course on your Home page.  This will show the promoted course to all users enabling them to click through to it. You will be able to customise the title and description to suit your use case.
