Workforce Software Guest Blog: Operational Communications and Deskless Workers
While psychologist Abraham Maslow’s widely known ‘Hierarchy of Needs’ framework introduced to the world exactly eighty years ago has received some critique over the years—mostly related to research methodologies—it continues to be a hugely popular tool in many settings.

This includes having adequate food, shelter and medical needs addressed, feeling physically safe—and after that, having a more emotional, heartfelt connection to other people. That human interaction is often based […]

Decusoft Guest Blog Article: Compensation Planning: Where Complexity Meets Opportunity
The context Anyone leading a compensation team or function is keenly aware that ‘comp planning’ activities can take the most time, and surrounding complexities can be plentiful.

These aspects speak to process complexity, and that’s before we bring in many other dimensions. These include new or changing comp elements, eligibility rules, salary increases and total comp guidelines, and the processes needed for collecting, matching, and incorporating market pay rates.

Insperity Blog – 5 ways a PEO can serve as a strategic partner for midsize businesses
There are many misconceptions about professional employer organizations (PEOs). Often, one of them is that PEOs only deliver value for smaller businesses. But what about PEOs for midsize businesses with operational challenges? These business owners may ask: What value does a PEO bring to midsize businesses?

HR Technology Conference & Exposition – Women in HR Tech | October 10, 2023
Join 3Sxity Insights’ Jennifer Dole, along with Kelly Cartwright Vice President of Global Talent Acquisition of Splunk and Clarissa Peterson President and CEO of Ohana HR, LLC as they discuss HR Technology in pact to helping drive gender equality. Secession Description: In recent years, the overall state of women’s employment has seen improvements. Yet, despite organizations’ increased focus on gender equality, the earnings gap is real and women are still paid less than men.
