Evolutions Have Heroes, and HR Evolutions Have People Heroes

Posted on by

In mid-spring, we were fortunate and grateful to film an “in-concert” episode of the #HRTechChat video podcast straight from the floor of the Boston stop along the 2023 #isolvedRoadShow. Our guest was one of my very favorite people in human capital management, Geoff Webb, vice president of solution strategy at isolved. It was an interesting conversation. Even more interesting was the impromptu green room time Geoff and I created for ourselves over coffee earlier that day. It was that conversation, especially, that got us to thinking some pretty deep thoughts. Geoff and I went deep into the paint, as basketball fans might say. And for what you’re about to read, the promised follow-up blog post to convey some of those ideas, we won’t get too […]

Case Study Vignette: isolved Helps Lift Vibrant Nonprofit Philadelphia FIGHT Out of the “Paper-Lithic Era” of HR

Posted on by

There are several versions of the well-known HCM Maturity Model, a framework for understanding and pinpointing where HR departments are in their evolution and where they can eventually be, from purely operational to strategic. A helpful whitepaper walks readers through an easily accessible explanation of The Five Phases of HCM Maturity according to isolved—in order: Basic, Integrated, Automated, Developed, and Engaged. In commencing their journey through the phases of the HCM Maturity Model, HR departments first strive to become tight in workflow, introducing efficiency to the absolute essentials for employing people. When they ultimately become fully mature, they are proficient and effective in influencing the employee experience and employer brand. A lot happens in between. Meanwhile, so-called thought leaders in human capital management (HCM) like […]

Case Study Vignette: isolved Spares Hands-On, Strategic People Leader and Owner of Right at Home North Shore LI the Hassles of Unautomated HR

Any business can benefit from gaining greater visibility into its people. Even basic information, such as their total numbers, whereabouts, hours worked, legal qualifications to do this work or that, and more, can be gold for not only the HR department, but also organizational leadership. This is as true for small businesses as for multinational corporations employing thousands. It would seem, from the outside looking in, that these stats should be a cinch to obtain for small employers. But ask HR people working at the thousands of small businesses in North America. They would probably tell you much of this information is hard to pin down. Especially when it comes to up-to-date data, the only kind that really makes a difference, it’s elusive and no […]

#HRTechChat: Robyn Torgius, Global Head of Payroll at IFS

Posted on by

“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.

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: Purbita Banerjee, Senior Client Partner and Head of Product Management at Korn Ferry

Posted on by

My guest for this episode of the #HRTechChat video podcast was Purbita Banerjee. “We’re here to create pathways to success for humans at work,” says Purbita of the mission at Korn Ferry, where she is senior client partner and head of product management. Artificial intelligence figures prominently in this new calculus, as we’ve covered previously, and the topic for this honest-to-goodness barnburner of a discussion with Purbita centered on how the state of the art in business software is upending long-held conventions in talent management and talent acquisition. All this innovation is all but obliterating the arbitrary partition that has for decades separated these two prominent domains of human capital management. When it comes to the podcast here, I highly recommend you press play on […]
