During the SAP SuccessFactors Success Connect conference, Penny Stoker, Global Leader of HR Services at EY, unveiled "Onboarding Buddy", an onboarding AI chat bot that fully integrates with SAP SuccessFactors. The uniqueness of the bot is that it has answers to the otherwise mundane requests from the new employees.

Human Capital spoke to Shankar Krishnamoorthy, CEO and Co Founder, Synergita, to get an understanding of the talent trends for 2019 and later in the backdrop of enhanced penetration of AI/ML. He also spoke about the relevance of newage talent management practices in vogue in organisations today, and the vetted role being manifested by pointed HR solution providers in identifying, analysing and provisioning prognostic measures for effective talent management practices in an organisation.
