To help SMBs compete for the best, their system for human capital management (HCM) must harness the ability to deliver efficiencies, provide data-driven results and equip the teams using them to create the best possible employee experience. In this vein, 3Sixty Insights has examined delivering solutions for some of the biggest challenges that HR people face today and expect in the future. […]

Research Note: Clif Bar Steadily Improves Organizational Agility via Innovation in Payroll, Employee Mobility, and More With the Help of UKG

Posted on by

What You Need to Know As reported by Forbes magazine and strongly suggested by 3Sixty Insights’ investigation, the pandemic has shifted the focus from where employees work to how they work while eliminating borders between companies, people and countries (3Sixty Insights BWSRN2211 – “Choose Your Own Adventure: Returning to the Workplace, Protecting the Employee Experience,” January 2022). Employee mobility has become a competitive advantage and necessity for any employer currently operating internationally or hoping to do so. Ideally, the organization aspiring to install an operational framework to support a borderless workforce will marshal, potentially, a broad spectrum of software for human capital management (HCM).

Research Note: Global Mobility – Strategize for the Employee Experience and Related Organizational Success

Posted on by

What You Need to Know Traditionally, organizations have expanded into other countries in order to engage with new audiences in new ways and diversify perspectives to meet global demands, among other reasons that could vary from cost control, employee satisfaction and speed to market.

Catalysts precipitating this most viscerally have been advancements in technology to support payroll, compliance, employee communication, hiring, and collaboration across international organizational footprints that are vast. An even greater factor has been so-called economic globalism. In tandem to all this, attitudes over the idea of a borderless workforce have fallen in line, largely in support of the trend. Against this backdrop, the response of employers […]

Analyst Insight: Strategizing for High-Volume Hiring Success

Posted on by

What You Need to Know Many larger organizations with customer service and support roles are in the practice of hiring hundreds or even thousands of positions a year – even more for those with high-volume seasonal needs such as retail, warehouse and delivery services. Other industries also prone to high-volume hiring needs, such as healthcare and commercial air travel, are constantly fighting the competition for in-demand, highly specialized talent. But traditional hiring practices for high-volume hiring can add unnecessary steps to the application and screening processes for roles that may only have basic candidate prerequisites, while the sheer volume of applicants could clog candidate review and interview processes. In addition, a lengthy time-to-offer may mean missing out on candidates who are applying to multiple companies […]
