Amid all the economic banter about taxes, regulations, and national debt levels, the underlying reason for stalled productivity growth worldwide comes down to one main factor: Companies aren’t getting the most from their people. Why is that? Employees in this day and age often are disconnected from business goals. They must deal with rigid, cumbersome work processes. And they’re forever being asked to shift gears amid the torrent of business changes. Meanwhile, the tech...

It’s still early enough in the election cycle that all bets are off when it comes to knowing who’ll be our next commander in chief in the U.S. But before President Obama leaves office early next year, he is working to advance his longtime quest to achieve fair pay for all workers. Although that’s an honorable goal, the government’s approach will pass on heavy administrative burdens for companies, specifically for companies’ compensation professionals. If it seems as if your...

It’s easy for businesses to get caught up in the excitement of all the new systems out there, and with good reason: Today’s applications are elevating the practice of HR. But behind these flashy front-end services, the true power of HR lies in the core HR system. Purchasing a number of standalone cloud solutions won’t enable HR teams to make the most of their budgets.

Social, mobile, and the candidate experience are all hot topics for modern talent acquisition teams, and for good reason. If your organization isn’t leveraging social networks to recruit, you’re likely missing out on many candidates. Likewise, if your career site isn’t optimized for mobile devices, you’re not capturing as many interested job seekers as you could. And if you don’t have a simple and intuitive online application process, you’re not just losing potential...
