Filling the talent pipeline is always a challenge for small to medium business leaders. But rarely is the need for recruitment as pressing as it is in the field of healthcare. In this industry, an inability to find the right talent quickly can literally have life-or-death consequences. Let me give you one example. Be The Match is a Minneapolis-based nonprofit that is part of the National Marrow Donor Program. To help people with life-threatening blood diseases, the program’s...

Mt. Hood Meadows is one of the most beautiful and pristine places in North America. At this time of year, it’s packed with skiers and snowboarders. And with innovative combination events like musical acts and Superbowl Sunday ski days (“Superbowl” is also the name of one of the mountain peaks), it’s a fun place to both work and play. Of course, the work is mostly seasonal. Many small and medium businesses operate on a seasonal model—even retailers, who must staff up in time...

Small companies in all industries tend to face similar issues as they grow. They get stuck at various levels of development. Common bottlenecks are often people- and systems-related. Having a single capability for recruiting, hiring, training, time and labor tracking, payroll, HR, benefits, performance, compensation, and succession planning can make all the difference. Industry analysts were initially skeptical that Oracle—known as a large company vendor, and the provider of...

You may remember this line from the popular 1999 movie Office Space. The main character, Peter Gibbons, says it to two outside consultants (the “Bobs”) hired to evaluate employees and recommend layoffs inside a company poisoned by a toxic work environment: “My only real motivation is not to be hassled—that and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.” Your SMB’s work culture is probably much healthier...

By Paul Kaptein, Director of Product Marketing, Oracle Consider this scenario: You’re a small or medium business that’s poised for significant growth next year. Maybe you’re opening a new office or a plant overseas. Or perhaps you’re adding a major account that will double your revenues. Either way, you’ll be managing more people, more data—and possibly more inefficiencies, if you’re not prepared. If you lack human capital management (HCM) tools that enable mobile...
