People Accelerator for State and Local Government
How Microsoft’s Power Platform Empowers Your Government to Optimize its Workforce
“The great resignation” hit organizations of all sizes, and state and local government municipalities like yours felt the strain. Meanwhile, HR software—even the most sophisticated—typically falls short when it comes to managing your workforce to optimize every resource and get the right people on the right projects. Key areas of information like recruiting, training, certifications, experience, availability, security roles, and even physical assets, are in silos. Enter HSO’s People Accelerator, built with Microsoft’s Power Platform.
Join Microsoft and HSO for an on-demand webcast to learn how HSO’s People Accelerator empowers your government to optimize its workforce based on a variety of attributes, from geographic location and skill set to availability and utilization limits. We’ll share how municipalities are partnering with HSO to better manage their workforce and do a live demo of the solution.
