#HRTechChat: Adam Famularo, CEO of WorkFusion

Posted on by

For many, it is natural to see advancements in artificial intelligence and worry over their impact on people in the world of work. Even so, years from now we may well look back on “the past of the future of work” and understand that many, possibly most, of these fears were unfounded—or misplaced, at least. This episode of the #HRTechChat video podcast is about that. Joining us was guest Adam Famularo, CEO of WorkFusion, whose “AI Digital Workers” are just plain better—more accurate, more efficient—than any human could be in monitoring for financial crime. Before you lament this loss of jobs that real people could do, understand: it’s sleepless work; in fact, it needs to be. Then, ask yourself: is there really any love lost? […]

#HRTechChat Explores isolved’s Acquisition of AAP

Posted on by

This past summer, isolved acquired AAP, an administrative services organization (ASO) and significant member of isolved’s large network of similar companies using isolved’s software-as-a-service solution for human capital management to carry out part or all of HR for their clients. Demonstrating why AAP is an especially good match for the vendor, this in-network acquisition underscores several of isolved’s strengths. Joining me on the video podcast to explain were Andy Osborne, who was CEO of AAP for 20 years, and Lina Tonk, who has been with isolved for many years herself, becoming the organization’s chief marketing officer shortly after her previous appearance on #HRTechChat. This acquisition of AAP reflects an important element of isolved’s growth strategy. Bringing members of this network fully under the isolved brand […]

#HRTechChat: Talent Management — It Will Blend

Posted on by

It’s been about a month since my colleague Jen Dole and I dropped our very first mutual episode of the #HRTechChat podcast. Today’s is the second installment in this new internal series wherein we will discuss various issues facing professionals whose day-to-day lives intersect with human resources and human capital management and how and why technology fits into the equation. Jen is now well past her 90-day mark here at 3Sixty Insights. When she joined us, we seriously considered whether to label her practice area something other than talent management. It has become a traditional term, after all, and part of us wanted to be forward-thinking and novel. Ultimately, we landed on the side of tradition, but we continue to wonder when exactly it makes […]

#HRTechChat: Michelle Randall, Chief Marketing Officer at Playvox

Posted on by

This episode of the #HRTechChat video podcast welcomes Playvox Chief Marketing Officer Michelle Randall. The sole focus of Playvox’s cloud software for human capital management for is the call center industry. When it comes to workforce management, especially scheduling, call centers are complex, challenging. Plus, everything we hear about the importance of the employee experiences is magnified at call centers. And everything we know about the impact of a positive employee experience on the customer experience is amplified at call centers. Deploy technology capable of improving agents’ quality of work-life balance, their employee wellbeing, and customers will have those positive experiences when they need it the most: when they get in touch with the call center. Michelle dives into the particulars, and I highly recommend […]

#HRTechChat: Mike Ettling, Chief Executive Officer at Unit4

Posted on by

I’m going to date myself here. My first encounter with Mike Ettling, CEO of Unit4, was over 10 years ago. Technology editor for HRO Today at the time, I was relatively wet behind the ears, as the saying goes, when it comes to human capital management and the technology for it. I attended a briefing for analysts and the industry press with Mike, CEO at the time of what was then NorthgateArinso. The gathering was in real life, a.k.a. IRL (a term that had not even emerged yet). “Well, Brent, that goes back some time,” Mike said when I brought it up to open the discussion on this episode of the #HRTechChat video podcast. Much has happened since 2011. NGA became NGA Human Resources and, […]

#HRTechChat: James Galvin, CEO and Co-Founder of Starcircle

Posted on by

The talent acquisition of today is nonlinear. By this, we mean it’s all one thing, not a siloed process with many activities taking place in an orderly fashion or readily apparent, repeatable sequence. James Galvin should know. Our guest for this episode of the #HRTechChat video podcast, James is CEO and co-founder of Starcircle, a Cork, Ireland–headquartered vendor of cloud software and services designed to result in truly effective talent acquisition campaigns by looking at these as holistic efforts and considering sourcing first, and not last — an idea embodied in a term Starcircle uses: long-tail talent. Take artificial intelligence, for example. It’s difficult to discuss modern talent acquisition without mentioning AI. This is because AI has entered the fray of talent acquisition for good. […]

“I wish we could just push a button and have payroll process without a hitch, like everyone thinks we do,” joked Robyn Torgius, guest on this episode of #HRTechChat. Instead of just falling into the work, as most have in the past, people are increasingly choosing payroll as a career path. This is a good thing. As global head of payroll at IFS and member of 3Sixty Insights’ Global Executive Advisory Council, Robyn shared her considerable insight into how payroll can be elevated into a profession — and why it should be.

#HRTechChat: How Maji Tharpe is challenging the status quo

Posted on by

March 8th marks International Women’s Day and a special opportunity for organizations to celebrate the contributions of their female employees. This is an especially important day to me because it is about empowering women in the workplace. So this year on International Women’s Day, let’s take some time to recognize our hardworking women and find new ways to challenge the status quo. Celebrating with me today is Maji Tharpe from University of Illinois’ Discovery Partners Institute, and she is doing everything she can to diversify the tech ecosystem in the state of Illinois by disrupting the internship model.  We met at the virtual HR Tech Conference, and instantly hit it off!  We both operate in the cross section of HR Tech, succession planning, upskilling and […]

#HRTechChat: The “Ambition Recession” and Activating Employees with Pamela Stroko

Posted on by

Welcome back to another episode of #HRTechChat, where we dive into the latest trends and strategies in human resources and workplace technology. In this podcast episode, our host, Jennifer, is joined by HR expert Pamela Stroko to discuss a pressing topic – the staggering 59% of the workforce who are quietly quitting their jobs. Pamela sheds light on the concept of the “”Dead Zone,”” the time of day when remote or hybrid workers are not available to their managers. This lack of trust and connection to work has contributed to the decline in productivity and engagement among employees. Pamela introduces a concept called the “Ambition Recession,” a term coined by Gad Levanon, which points to the decline in employee ambition and engagement since the pandemic. […]

betterworks Blog: #HRTechChat: It’s Time for Performance Enablement

Posted on by

If you haven’t given the 3Sixty Insight’s #HRTechChat podcast a listen yet, now is the time to start. The #HRTechChat podcast features visionary leaders that explore strategic HR processes, problem-solving, and share tips with listeners about how to maximize the value of their technology investments. Therefore it’s no surprise that the podcast recently featured Betterworks CEO, Doug Dennerline. Doug joined the podcast for a special episode focused on the future of performance management. We’ll give you a hint: performance enablement is the name of the game. “The annual performance review process is pretty broken,” said Doug. “It was created seventy years ago for hierarchical organizations.” Meaning that in today’s work landscape the static annual performance review does not align with current manager-employee work dynamics.

#HRTechChat Showcase: Original Zen and the Art of Integration Strategy

Posted on by

Some may appreciate the play on the title of a mid-1970s philosophical novel, “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance,” others the Eastern twist on Western theology. Regardless, original Zen and the art of integration strategy is the absolutely essential and crucial understanding that cloud-to-cloud integration is a process and a way of life, never something that eventually ends because it will ever finally be perfect. Vendors in HCM that acknowledge and embrace this universal truth will save money, increase sales, and improve their customer retention — all major competitive advantages. This episode of the video podcast is something we call the #HRTechChat Showcase, a version of #HRTechChat wherein our guests not only chat with us, but also share slide decks or other visual cues […]

#HRTechChat: Make Work Better with Betterworks' Doug Dennerline & Jamie Aitken

#HRTechChat: Make Work Better with Betterworks’ Doug Dennerline & Jamie Aitken

Posted on by

Both my guests for this episode have appeared on the #HRTechChat video podcast previously — here, here and here — and it only made sense to host the two of them this time, at the same time. Why? Betterworks CEO Doug Dennerline and Vice President of HR Transformation Jamie Aitken have co-authored and published a book titled “Make Work Better,” and our discussion revolved around it. Let’s get something out of the way first. Employers have six ways to Sunday to make work better: make scheduling better for work-life balance, make onboarding better for immediate employee engagement (and faster time-to-productivity), make payroll better so employees get paid incorrectly less often, make on-the-job learning better so staff can build their careers… Have I missed anything? Probably, and […]

#HRTechChat: Megan Coen, Vice President of HR Services at isolved

Posted on by

We talk a lot about the technology for human capital management. Amidst all the understandable hubbub, you’d think we’d find a panacea in the state of the art in technology for HCM. Today’s technology for HCM is indeed a marvel, after all, in its capabilities and in the promise it holds. It’s a promise not only for highly engaged people leaders looking to use the latest and greatest cloud software, but also for HR departments that could really just use some help in solving for basic needs. The idea that HR departments today can succeed with the help of highly capable technology alone is tempting to believe. In a way, that’s because it’s half true. Yes, it’s a welcome relief to automate operational processes. Yes, […]

The Boston #isolvedRoadShow Episode of #HRTechChat with Guest Geoff Webb

The Boston #isolvedRoadShow Episode of #HRTechChat with Guest Geoff Webb

Posted on by

Last week, just before the morning’s program commenced at the Boston stop along the 2023 #isolvedRoadShow, this episode’s #HRTechChat video podcast guest Geoff Webb and I met for some impromptu “green room” time and joked that it was too bad the camera wasn’t rolling. Never fear, however: I plan to build on that very interesting discussion soon with a dedicated blog entry…. Following the conclusion of last Thursday’s itinerary at the Courtyard by Marriot, Geoff and I sat down for this episode of the podcast — recorded “in concert, so to speak,” from the Road Show floor. And this may be the right time to explain just what the 2023 isolved Road Show is, because it relates directly to the conversation captured here. A multiple-city […]

#HRTechChat: Steve Goldberg, HR Industry Analyst, Advisor & Thought Leader

Posted on by

My guest for this episode of #HRTechChat was Steve Goldberg, well-known HR industry analyst, advisor and thought leader. Steve and I were having so many interesting conversations of late, that we decided we’d better lay one of these tracks down on vinyl, so to speak. Steve shared a few ideas around the theme of “opportunities where HR technology can make a difference today and over the next several years,” and here we are…. True to form, Steve got me to thinking about something in a way I’d never considered. It’s loosely related to a concept I encountered many years ago. The idea “is really the byproduct of mashing together the vendor perspective and the customer perspective,” Steve said. From vendors, there’s a standardization of functionality […]

#HRTechChat: A Deep-Dive Into PandoLogic Owner Veritone’s Acquisition of Broadbean

Posted on by

At the very tail end of May 2023, the enterprise artificial intelligence software and services vendor Veritone announced the acquisition of Broadbean, a global recruitment technology company. Given that PandoLogic joined the family of Veritone companies in mid-summer 2021, we invited an expert each from PandoLogic and Broadbean to appear on the #HRTechChat video podcast and discuss synergies between the two now-Veritone companies. Joining us for this episode were Faisel Samseer, director of partnerships, development and growth for Broadbean, and Nikos Livadas, vice president of partner development for PandoLogic. Viewers (and listeners at the many audio podcast platforms where #HRTechChat syndicates) know we typically have in-depth discussions and communication with our guests in the “virtual greenroom” in the run-up to each episode. This episode is […]

Posted on by

Marta Weinstock, my guest for this episode of the #HRTechChat video podcast, is senior director of operations at California-based Rutherford Investment Company. Part of her charter at Rutherford Investments is to get human capital management as efficient as possible. Under the aegis of her leadership and the help of isolved, the employer’s journey along the road to HCM maturity has been sweeping and inspiring. With isolved, Marta has brought order to a previously dysfunctional, disorganized HR ecosystem. Leading the charge for digital transformation from the inside, Marta has witnessed first-hand not only the excellent capabilities found in isolved’s software-as-a-service People Cloud™, but also the highly attentive approach of isolved’s HR services team. Our #HRTechChat Series is also available as a podcast on the following platforms: […]

#HRTechChat: Jamie Aitken, Vice President of HR Transformation at Betterworks

Posted on by

“Why would you ever want to be in a place where you can’t thrive?” asked Jamie Aitken near the close of our conversation. It’s a good question. We contemplated many on this episode of the video podcast, Jamie’s second appearance on #HRTechChat. As vice president of HR Transformation at Betterworks, she’s party to (and helps lead) many discussions with employers looking to modernize their approach to, and related software for, promoting employee engagement and measuring and improving employees’ performance. “Why Modern Organizations Need Modern Performance Management and How to Get There” is the unofficial title that Jamie and I gave our chat. Continuing on the theme we covered last time, of moving from operational to strategic HR, this latest conversation of ours closely examined just […]

What does it feel like to be part of a high performing team? It’s an intangible feeling that many strive for but few succeed in achieving. Creating and nurturing a successful team is hard work, yet the rewards are immense. When you put together the right group of people and offer them the tools they need to thrive, they can reach levels of productivity far beyond what any individual could achieve on their own. Joining me on this video podcast of #HRTechChat is James Brogan, CEO and co-founder at PepTalk.  In this episode we’ll explore both mental and physical components behind creating, maintaining, and optimizing a high performance team environment so you can provide your employees with one of the most rewarding experiences available in […]
