isolved Guest Blog Article | Connect Speaker Spotlight: Analyst Brent Skinner Talks Concrete & Abstract HR
When isolved surveyed 500 HR leaders earlier this year, 92 percent said that employee experience (EX) is a top priority for them in 2021. After all, investing in the communications and capabilities (often digital) that an employee has with their employer before, during and after their tenure can’t be wrong, right? With EX going beyond core HR functions – like reducing payroll errors and improving compliance – there’s often a disconnect between what leaders want – grow their employer brand, engage their employees better – and how to lobby to get investment for it. At isolved Connect in September, 3Sixty Insights Principal Analyst Brent Skinner will break down his independent research on the complications HR is facing when blending two practices: concrete HR and abstract HR. Ahead of the event, […]

theHRDIRECTOR – Time to take an employee pulse survey
We’re halfway through March 2021, and the spring fever is extra intense — at least twice as intense as normal, it seems. Think about it. Your employees have been in some form or other of COVID-19 lock-down since late Q1 of 2020, when the novel coronavirus arrived to rob them of perennially much-anticipated fun in the sun, exercise at the gym, spring cleaning, live concerts, and all the rest. And, depending on your industry and the demographics and purpose of your business and workforce, many or most have been working from home all this time. Even work has kept them home, in other words, and whereas some of your staff have enthusiastically embraced this, as they see their home as their own little oasis, others […]
3Sixty Insights Monthly Recap | March 2021
Recent Research: Case Study: Paycor and Partner Spark Hire Empower Affordable Housing Developer’s Recruiting Efforts 3Sixty Insights set out this year to explore several phenomena in human capital management and the technology for it. The employer’s experience covered here provides a case-in-point of interplay between a few of these. Point Solutions: Usual Suspects, Atypical Origins Vendors of full suites for HCM have made significant strides with their end-to-end functionality, feasibly covering the entire spectrum of HR and related needs.

HR.com – HCM is to RCM what HR is to accounting
HR.com guest article by 3Sixty Insights Director & Principal Analyst Brent Skinner: Anyone who went into HCM to empower people should welcome robots as competition for humans in the workplace.

The Top 3 Thought Bubbles Popping Over My Head at #SHRM19
As always, the fireworks popping over our heads this Fourth of July were marvelous to behold. As for the week before that, the content at #SHRM19 was similarly crackling. While there, my fellow attendees might have been forgiven for swearing they saw the following three cartoonish light bulb–containing thought bubbles actually popping over my head… Getting Zen about Compliance Sorry to get deep—with all the compliance-related presentations at #SHRM19, it’s clear: We want to minimize the risks of compliance. We must, lest we incur fines and damage to our brands. This is why we must “get Zen” about compliance. Compliance is a way of life. Once we think we’ve finished complying, we’ll be finished for sure—as in, “toast.” As we willingly submit to the never-ending […]
Your Employees and their Final Frontiers
At the dawn of the space age everyone was in it together. Fear may have been there at first, but good vibes were, too, and eventually took over. Even at the Cold War’s height, most every culture on Earth found camaraderie in cheering on these brave, revered humans as they succeeded in their endeavor to leave this earthly plain and touch the hand of God—or reach the Moon, at least. It’s been a group effort so far for homo sapiens to escape Earth’s gravitational force and enter space, the final frontier. And there’s a metaphor here for employer culture, and it bears on employee flight risk. An employee might escape your organization’s gravitational force because you are a nurturing mentor and great employer. The next […]
