Infosys internal platform 'Compass' to help employees change job profiles


Employees at Infosys can look within their own firm instead of looking outside for a job change, with 'Compass' — a new digital platform rolled out by the technology giant — which allows them to mobilise available opportunities on career growth, learning and networks.

With an increased focus on using technology to improve the experience of employees, Infosys is trying to digitise HR processes. In the past couple of years, the company had been at the forefront of a slew of initiatives to help employees be more productive by using available technologies.
"Those who want a change from their current job profile or posting can now log on to Compass, and view a curated list of opportunities based on their skills and interests. Employees can create a humanised profile to showcase their professional achievements. Video CVs, endorsements, blogs and badges can also be shared," said Richard Lobo, SVP and head-HR, Infosys. 


The platform can be used for networking with like-minded people, allowing employees to leverage existing expertise and experiences within the organization. Infoscians can also find learning opportunities — both training and experience-based — and make informed choices based on actual experience feedback, as well as get a view of the trends in skills and domains within the organization.

The use of the platform ensures that employees can develop their careers without having to exit the company, said Lobo.

The platform is a self-service portal which empowers employees to design their own journey within the organization by enabling them with the right information, support structure and access. At its launch, it had an 'on-invite' campaign to create interest and differentiate the platform.

The flash registration resulted in over 6,000 requests from employees in three hours.
