Abstract: The APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ADVANCEMENT PATH BENCHMARKING (“APB”) provides mechanisms allowing advancement seekers to identify, map out, structure and interact with various advancement paths to the seeker's goals. In one embodiment, the seekers are career advancement seekers, and the APB provides mechanisms allowing the seeker to explore various career paths and opportunities. In one embodiment, the APB interacts with a statistical engine, which allows seekers to map their experiences to various advancement states in the statistical engines state structure. By so doing, it allows seeker to explore multiple paths based on various criteria, and allows seekers to plan their career goals. In the process, the APB obtains and tracks information from a number of seekers allowing any one seeker to benchmark attributes of their advancement path against other seekers. In other embodiments, the seekers may be students wishing to advance their academic advancements.

Abstract: A system for promoting employee recognition at an organization is disclosed. The system is programed to automatically collect and monitor an organization to detect recognition moments between employees of the organization. The system automatically generates recognition moments between employees based on detected recognition indicators and analyzes the data to improve the organizational climate and culture and promote the employee's actions that initiated the recognition moment. Embodiments of the disclosed invention further analyze the data to generate recognition, influence, performance alignment, performance, and work circle graphs.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide tools for creating recognition moments in real-time and generating recognition network graphs that represent the recognition connections throughout organizations. Recognition network graphs are utilized to transmit recognition announcements throughout the organization, which, in turn, promotes a positive organizational climate and the values of the organization and aides managers in determining employees who are critical to the prior and future success of their business initiatives even when those employees are not within their traditional organizational hierarchies or span of control. The recognition network graph highlights connections between employees that are not self-evident within traditional organization charts. The recognition network graph may depict how business objectives are achieved via both formal and informal employee connections.
