worklife Article: The High Cost of Silos – Trillions Lost When HR, Company Goals Are Out of Sync

It’s become a cliché of business: working in silos is almost always a terrible idea. With that in mind, fresh research reveals a stark reality for HR leaders in particular, as more than 8 in 10 companies report critical misalignment between their department’s initiatives and those of the broader business, contributing to an estimated $8.9 trillion in annual economic losses. It is a disconnect that’s about much more than just organizational efficiency. Rather, it can have a profound, direct impact on employee satisfaction and retention and, in fact, contributes to more than 80% of workers actively seeking out other jobs. The findings — from a survey of 500 HR leaders and 1,200 employees by the talent intelligence platform Eightfold AI, in association with 3Sixty Insights — point […]

Workforce Software Guest Blog: Organizational Change Management (OCM) Meets Workforce Management: A Guide

As businesses and enterprises contend with the constant drive for technological innovation, economic turmoil from geopolitical tensions, and multiple generations working side by side in the workforce, no one would argue that this era is characterized as one of “maximum change and unpredictability.“  Similarly, few would challenge the notion that this operating landscape brings challenges and opportunities, with the latter being enjoyed by those businesses that excel in one competency area in particular: managing change or the domain commonly known as Organizational Change Management (OCM).  Why OCM is Vital for Large Enterprises A recent Boston Consulting Group study revealed that during the past two decades, only 26% of corporate transformations successfully created value in both the short and long terms. Then, we have the oft-cited McKinsey findings that only 30% of organizational change initiatives are considered highly successful afterward.    Effective change management is even more vital when more stakeholders (e.g., employees, managers, HR and […]

WorkforceAI – Why SMBs are Good Prospects for the Right AI Solutions

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) present a valuable opportunity for AI solutions providers.
