As the pandemic normalizes across day-to-day life, NelsonHall expects HR service delivery to adapt to a whole new set of challenges, both through legislation and HR best practices. The convergence of three key themes are likely to see new HR solutions being developed: staff welfare and resilience, operational efficiency, and automation. Staff Welfare and Resilience Pre-COVI[...]

  Earlier in the month on the NelsonHall HR Quarterly Buyer Market Round-Up session, many buyers agreed that compliance is going to be a bigger issue in 2020 and beyond than it was before.  Before it was just table stakes, now it is about survival, and with the new WFH (Work from Home) structures, the risks are higher. I had this in mind when I joined ADP’s Analyst Day la[...]

  ADP held its 26th annual Meeting of the Minds (MOTM) client conference recently, celebrating its 70 years in business. ADP is helping change the way employees work by continuously introducing new and enhanced products and services, and here I focus on three key areas: mobile, how pay is accessed, and recruiting. ADP Mobile: growth & new developments ADP has 20 million regis[...]

  This past week, I attended two HR events at opposite ends of the Las Vegas strip: HR Technology conference and SuccessFactors’ SuccessConnect client event. Together, they attracted ~14k HR leaders, practitioners, vendors, analysts, thought leaders, and clients, and had the common theme and purpose of showcasing the latest HR technologies and innovations that are enabling employ[...]

  Is your organization already struggling to find the best talent? If so, put yourself in the shoes of a candidate for a moment. Take a look at your organization’s employer branding on your website and social media pages. Do you think candidates would be impressed? Hopefully yes, but many organizations’ employer branding leaves a lot to be desired. Appealing to all possi[...]

  At ADP’s annual Meeting of the Minds client event this past week, what caught my attention most were the initiatives geared towards improving employee engagement/satisfaction and retention. Clearly, ADP has identified these areas as key, with its own research institute finding that ~2/3 of all turnover is voluntary – i.e. employees are leaving because they have not been g[...]

  Last week’s HRTechWorld in Amsterdam, or UNLEASH as it now known, did not disappoint, my only regret being that two days wasn’t enough time to see everything and meet everyone I wanted to. As well as the established vendors being present, sharing their new product updates, there were plenty of start-ups showing how they are changing the face of HR/payroll. Analytics, auto[...]

    For many organizations today, technology, and more specifically the internet, has changed the way business is conducted, and having the agility to pivot with the change is critical to remaining competitive and surviving. While the introduction of next generation technology has created a critical inflection point for many businesses, it is also providing HR leaders with n[...]

Last week, Ceridian held its annual customer forum, Ceridian INSIGHTS, in Las Vegas, where it showed its support for the victims of the recent shooting, and demonstrated its commitment to people as the mainstay of its philosophy. Ceridian established a website at the conference where attendees were able to make donations to a victim support fund, with Ceridian making the first contribution,[...]

It is very easy to get caught up in the here and now of workplace challenges around talent acquisition (skills shortages, multigenerational workforce, ageing population, socio-economic issues, etc.), and the best way to tackle them in the short-term (this week, this month, this year). But what if a much wider look at the trends affecting talent acquisition were taken into consideration –[...]

  By now, most HR leaders within multi-national organizations, particularly those headquartered or operating in Europe, will be familiar with the looming compliance regulation known as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). With 100% compliance required from day one and fines for non-compliance up to 4% of global revenue (maximum €20m), the GDPR is arguably the most cri[...]

Candidate and employee engagement is often referred to as a key priority for HR leaders, and while there’s a lot of activity going on to address this, the indications are that more needs to be done. In its latest white paper, Workforce Horizons, Capita reflects on the issues and challenges HR and resourcing leaders must overcome as they attempt to impact the bottom line, and high on the l[...]

At Ceridian’s recent annual client conference, CEO David Ossip signaled a shift in company vision, from transforming HR (2013) to ‘making work life better’ (2015). And while transformation is still an important HR theme, Ceridian is now turning its attention to helping clients engage with their employees more effectively. Ceridian’s top three business priorities are empl[...]

The theme of last week’s IBM Connect Conference was Energizing Life’s Work. There was also a concurrent Kenexa World Conference which joined the IBM Connect general sessions. When IBM acquired Kenexa for $1.3bn in December 2012 (with Kenexa integrated into IBM’s Software Group and operationally aligned to IBM GPS), much was written at the time of how this would strengthen IBM&[...]
