SHRM Invests in Soar.com to Champion Innovation and AI Workplace Solutions

Kansas City, Missouri, USA (Newsworthy.ai) Wednesday Jun 8, 2022 @ 7:30 AM Central —

The Society for Human Resource Management’s (SHRM) innovation fund, SHRMLabs, has chosen to invest in Soar.com, an up-and-coming leader in AI workplace solutions. SHRMLabs is a critical communication channel between leaders of tech, to HR professionals who lead culture and maximize talent across global organizations. SHRMLabs is inspiring innovation by investing in innovative companies to create better workplace technologies that solve today's most pressing workplace challenges. According to Guillermo Corea, Workplace Innovation Lab & Venture Capital leader, SHRM chose to make one of its largest investments in Soar.com because “AI has the power to decode and improve workplace interactions and learning in ways never before possible, and Soar.com has assembled an impressive team and vision to do just that. SHRM Members will benefit through access to cutting edge AI innovations that may be implemented into existing SHRM workplace offerings.”

As one example, SHRM selected Soar.com to provide a new powerful AI video search experience for SHRM members that will unlock the value of their video content from webcasts to conference presentations and keynotes. SHRM’s video archive will now be fully searchable so that members can quickly find and jump to specific segments or highlights within their video archive. Moreover, members can share clips with others to bring greater visibility to SHRM’s video assets. Nick Schacht, Chief Global Development Officer, believes this will “enhance the value our members receive from on-demand access to important knowledge, and make it easier to share their discoveries with others.”

SHRMLabs joins the ranks of other early investors in Soar.com such as Sandler Training CEO, Dave Mattson, former Rackspace CEO & Chairman, Graham Weston, and BuiltBar Founder, Nick Greer among others. Mattson shared his decision to invest was based on his trust in Soar.com CEO & Founder, Paul Allen and the team he assembled. He is betting on their proven track record (Allen previously was CEO & Founder of Ancestry.com) and their mission to “help humans become better humans”.

SHRM’s support of an AI workplace solutions company like Soar.com will add to SHRM’s ongoing effort to champion innovation in the workplace, by:

  • Helping personalize the learning experience

  • Enhancing workplace communication and culture

  • Help learning communities feel more connected

  • Revolutionizing the way learning translates into application and eventual mastery

AI has the power to give rapid feedback to employees across all digital communication channels, assist in developing positive habits, and help each employee feel more connected and appreciated in the workplace.
