“The workforce is changing; people aren’t motivated by compensation alone.  They want diverse opportunities, meaningful work, immediate recognition, flexibility and growth,” said Huan Ho, co-founder and CEO of Rallyteam.  “Millennials in particular are driving this change – they will comprise 50 percent of the workforce in just five years and organizations need to be prepared.  We want to help employees seamlessly move into roles where they will have the most impact and personal growth.”

Rallyteam’s approach focuses on experiential learning.  The platform helps organizations maximize their talent pool while providing new opportunities for employee development.   Rallyteam’s Opportunity Market intelligently connects people to internal projects that need help based on skills and interests.  The system’s gamification features allow users to provide recognition back to colleagues.

“Rallyteam makes it easy for employees to get setup by pulling in their skills from LinkedIn,” says co-founder Dan Clay Ellis, “Using this information and preferences set by the employee, they can be smart-matched to opportunities at their place of work.  As more join, Rallyteam becomes an invaluable repository of people and skills; we’re interested in helping organizations tap into this collective intelligence.”
