New HR Technology: coding the future of Asia Pacific workplaces

As Australia and New Zealand workplaces establish a new hybrid normal, Asia Pacific’s leading Work and HR Technology company, PeopleStrong, launches an exclusive Australasian partnership with leading local talent solutions organisation – CogNative.  

The partnership will enable organisations across Australia and New Zealand to de-risk their people potential with a seamless technology experience focusing on engagement, productivity, skills mapping and wellbeing via the unique PeopleStrong talent operating system. 

The partnership is overseen by parent company Fisher Leadership, with over 20 years' experience in Leadership and Talent. The combination of CogNative’s advisory service offering and the market leading PeopleStrong technology brings together deep talent expertise with PeopleStrong’s 
mobile-first, SaaS suite of products incorporating AI and Machine Learning technology. Through the combined offering, PeopleStrong and CogNative will enable organisations across the region to connect organisational data with performance to unearth latent potential and grow momentum. 

“The Who, How and Why of work are all transforming at speed. The digital transformation went from being a future plan to a current reality for many businesses.  PeopleStrong and CogNative have a passion for the retention, growth and development of people as a critical business strategy and we share a common mission of helping organisations transform their practices as a key element of that.” said Pip Youngman, Advisory Chair, Australia/New Zealand at PeopleStrong. 

“This partnership is key to our growth plans. We are looking forward to working closely with the CogNative team to take our future facing tech platform to organisations across Australia and New Zealand”.

PeopleStrong is used by 1.5 million users in 350+ enterprises across the world and has a presence in Bangalore, Mumbai, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, and the Middle East. 

PeopleStrong’s suite of products help organisations transform their people practices and processes from talent acquisition through to ongoing talent management, productivity, and analytics. Such employee-focused platforms are fast becoming essential pillars in a company’s operational tools. 

Managing Director, Michelle Loader states, “At CogNative, we believe the way people want to connect to work is changing. The global pandemic has changed our working world forever, importantly the way organisations need to connect to talent is changing fast and dynamic capability analysis will be the only way to capitalise on emerging conditions."

David Jenkinson, Regional Client Relationship Manager for PeopleStrong agrees, ‘We believe that PeopleStrong will disrupt the way Australian and New Zealand organisations engage with talent in the future and we are excited to find innovative solutions for our Australian and New Zealand clients”.  

By combining CogNative’s local knowledge with the global best practices delivered through PeopleStrong’s technologies, employees and employers alike will be best placed to overcome the challenges faced in the modern workplace. It’s time for leaders to embrace the rise of digital across the whole employee lifecycle in order to transform business operations across Australia and New Zealand.
