Workscape, Inc., the nation's leading provider of Internet-based Human Capital Management (HCM) software and services, announced that it's flagship technology, Employee.com is being used by General Motors Corp (GM) to power the largest employee portal in the world. The phased rollout of GM's mySocrates Internet site is to be completed by mid-December and will enable 180,000 U.S. hourly and salaried GM employees to instantaneously and securely view personal benefits information, use applications that affect their work and lives, access company resources and content, and utilize links with dozens of GM's internal and external vendors.

"GM's application of Workscape's Employee.com technology represents a major shift in the way corporate America is addressing the needs of its employees." said Tim Clifford, Workscape President and CEO, "The GM workforce will have access to a platform that includes a "my site" that will help them balance the demands of work and life, anytime, anywhere. This will have positive effects on both the quality and quantity of the work GM employees perform, and the information they receive and share. Using our Employee.com platform, employees can navigate quickly and seamlessly through work processes, and can manage life events confidentially, accurately and conveniently."

"This site allows employees to utilize the tools and information they need, when they need them," said Troy Clarke, GM vice president of labor relations. The GM workforce will be now able to perform self-service work applications in a few seconds-from work or home-rather than the many minutes usually required using a call center or manually filling out forms and searching for policies. This is especially significant in a large organization like GM, where vast amounts of important information is maintained in many different systems, databases and applications. The workforce will be given role-specific information that is uniquely personalized to each employee.
