The Partnering Group (TPG) is pleased to announce a new product offering stemming from a recently formed relationship with Touchstone Group Associates. TPG and Touchstone have co-developed a Talent Engagement Tool (TET). The TET is an easy to deploy data aggregation platform designed to manage employee performance data (key performance indicators “KPIs”) and link KPI data to key learning tools from both inside and outside the organization. Additionally, the platform provides a social learning platform for employees to collaborate and share best practices, and a library to warehouse and manage best practice content.
TPG and Touchstone developed the TET in order to specifically target the employee data management/analytics and training needs of retailers, manufacturers, distributors and sales agents within the consumer packaged goods industry. The TET will be marketed and sold under the TPG trademark.
TPG is delighted to be working with Touchstone to better serve their clients’ needs. For inquiries, please contact Scott Estes, Touchstone Group CEO/President, at scott-estes@touchstone-group.com or Mike Holcomb, TPG Managing Director, at mholcomb@tpg-mail.com.
