Case Study: How MacLean-Fogg Used Quantum Workplace to Create a Thriving culture

Posted on by

What You Need to Know For manufacturers, building a highly engaged and high-performing workforce is a business imperative. When both are strong, output, retention, and results follow. However, hearing from and gathering feedback from this kind of workforce can be difficult since emloyees are not at a desk with consistent access to email and the internet for a standard 8-hour workday. This can make it challenging to obtain honest, anonymous, high-quality feedback, which in turn makes it harder to tackle issues related to turnover, culture, and compliance. MacLean-Fogg, a family-owned precision manufacturing company with roughly 2,100 employees across multiple facilities, faced exactly this problem before partnering with Quantum Workplace. What followed was a vendor switch that triggered a wholesale transformation of the company’s approach to […]

Mitratech Article: Your 2026 Human Resource Compliance Checklist – What to Prioritize First

Posted on by

Insights from the 2026 State of HR Compliance Report to help you prioritize what actually matters. We all know the saying: if everything is a priority, nothing is. And right now, that tension is very real for HR team leaders who are balancing talent goals with rising expectations around process consistency and proof. Compliance work has expanded in ways that are easy to feel and hard to neatly quantify. New compliance requirements keep showing up. Enforcement patterns shift. Everyday decisions generate more questions that require proof, consistency, and documentation. In the 2026 State of HR Compliance Report, 75% of respondents said their compliance needs have changed, and more than half (54%) said those needs have increased over the past two years. Those shifts appear in […]

Mitratech: State of HR Compliance 2026 Study

Posted on by

The State of HR Compliance Report, developed through survey research and analysis conducted by 3Sixty Insights in collaboration with Mitratech, explores how organizations are navigating the increasing complexity of workforce governance, compliance operations, and AI oversight. The study examines several key areas impacting enterprise organizations, including fragmented systems and workflows, operational consistency, documentation and auditability requirements, workforce policy enforcement, and the growing importance of explainability and accountability within AI-assisted processes. The findings highlight how HR compliance is increasingly intersecting with legal, governance, risk, and enterprise operations as organizations work to operationalize compliance more effectively across distributed teams and evolving technology environments. Research and analysis for this initiative was supported by the 3Sixty Insights analyst team, including contributions from Dylan Teggart. Read the full study here: […]

Infographic: Your Employees Are Already Using AI – You Just Don’t Know Which One

Posted on by

This infographic explores the growing reality of “Shadow AI” in the workplace, where employees are already adopting AI tools independently due to unclear organizational guidance and governance. It highlights how the absence of a defined AI strategy creates exposure across privacy, intellectual property, and compliance risks, while contrasting unmanaged AI usage with a governed, purpose-led approach built on transparency, clear boundaries, and collaboration. The piece ultimately positions trusted AI governance not just as a risk mitigation strategy, but as a competitive differentiator for modern organizations.

Workforce Management in the Age of Unknowns

Posted on by

Most workforce management strategies are built for predictability. Maybe that’s the problem. In 2026, that thinking may now be a liability as the defining WFM challenges instead seem to be managing what dashboards can’t show you, AI workforce transformation is reshaping headcount decisions, data trust, and risk, as the modern workplace slowly becomes a human-AI hybrid—part judgment, part automation, part AI assistant. These changes will permanently alter the workforce, as a slow, sequenced cut moves through organizations from function to function, quarter by quarter, until organizations look fundamentally different from the way they did 10 years ago. So far, US job losses tied to AI have hit approximately 100,000 in the last 6–12 months, with companies like Amazon shedding 30,000 employees since October 2025, not […]

The Risks of Overconfidence in Compliance Management

Posted on by

Leadership often assumes a lot of “known knowns” when managing a business. Obstacles, challenges, and surprises are just part of being at the helm of an organization, but there are more unknowns out there than most would care to admit. A balance of caution and confidence is important for navigating these challenges. You don’t want to run a business scared. But there has to be a balance between these two to avoid the grinding halts of being overly cautious and the blind spots that overconfidence can miss. This combination of rising complexity and high self-reported confidence suggests a known knowns vs. unknown unknowns scenario: Known knowns are known things, such as existing or longstanding compliance problems, documented requirements, or tested controls. Known unknowns are acknowledged […]

Infographic: Kansas City Royals + Dayforce – A Payroll Transformation Case Study

Posted on by

This infographic examines how the Kansas City Royals navigated a complex payroll transformation with Dayforce amid seasonal workforce fluctuations, unionization, and multi-state compliance demands. Rather than simply migrating systems, the organization rebuilt payroll and HR workflows from the ground up, resulting in a smooth go-live and measurable operational gains. The case highlights how the right technology strategy can reduce administrative burden, improve compliance visibility, and elevate payroll leadership into a more strategic business role.

Analyst Insight: Building Cultures of Trust in the Age of AI

Posted on by

There’s a significant connection between attracting and retaining top talent and compliance. The Great Place to Work’s trust model emphasizes that employees experience a “great workplace” when they trust leadership, feel pride in their work, and experience camaraderie with colleagues. Leave, pay accuracy, and policy consistency are crucial at the crossroads of trust, fairness, and respect. When issues such as missed payments, unclear rules, or poor communication arise, employees don’t view them as simple compliance errors. Instead, they perceive them as a breach of trust, leading top talent to leave quietly. Based on these practices, it can be assumed that people choose to stay with or join companies that do things well, and employees gravitate towards companies that pay attention. At the end of the […]

Analyst Insight: Takeaways From Our State of HR Compliance Survey with Mitratech

Posted on by

Across a recent 3Sixty Insights survey of 500 respondents, sentiment about HR and organizational health looked strong on the surface. While 75% of respondents—with 2 in 5 (38%) employed in HR—said they were satisfied with HR’s performance and their company’s ability to stay on top of compliance, beneath the surface, there’s a growing disconnect between how prepared organizations feel and the true complexity of today’s compliance landscape. Although most respondents were satisfied with their ability to manage HR compliance, 1 in 4 were not, and 71% reported that their compliance needs had increased over the past 2 years.

Benchmark Report: State of HR Compliance 2026 – Benchmark Findings on Confidence, Complexity, and the AI Effect

Posted on by

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Across a survey of 500 U.S. professionals involved in HR and HR-related decision-making, organizations report strong confidence in their ability to manage HR compliance. Nearly three-quarters of respondents say they’re satisfied with how well their organization stays on top of compliance requirements, and overall sentiment regarding HR performance and organizational health remains positive. Still, this confidence masks a growing tension. Over the past two years, more than half of respondents (71%) say their HR compliance needs have increased, and nearly one in four report that keeping up with compliance has become harder. This disconnect between perceived readiness and rising complexity reflects a familiar risk management challenge. Organizations are effectively managing the compliance issues they can see, while new risks emerge in less visible […]

Analyst Insight: Workforce Management in the Age of Unknown

Posted on by

For decades, workforce management (WFM) meant controlling known variables like labor costs, scheduling, and compliance thresholds. That framing is now a liability. The defining WFM challenge of 2026 isn’t managing what you know—it’s preparing for what you don’t. As AI reshapes headcount decisions, data trust erodes, and the risks most organizations haven’t yet modeled turn out to be the ones that matter most. The Next Wave of Layoffs Won’t Look Like the Last One If you’re expecting alarm bells signaling massive AI-related layoffs, they’re likely not coming. What’s more likely are slow, sequenced cuts that move quietly from function to function quarter after quarter, gradually reshaping the workforce. It’s the boiling frog dynamic applied to organizational structure: by the time the temperature feels dangerous, the […]

What It Is Early this week, Salary.com announced its new Max model, an AI layer for compensation workflows. Max is the latest addition to the CompAnalyst AI Suite and represents the company’s most significant product evolution since its founding in 1999.

Analyst Insight: UKG Report on AI and the Frontline Workforce

Posted on by

I really liked this recent report from UKG, More Perspectives from the Frontline Workforce, which echoed topics CEO Jenn Morgan raised during UKG’s Analyst Day, where she didn’t shy away from the stark challenges facing the US economy and workforce today. UKG’s report surveyed 8,200 frontline employees across 10 countries, covering topics including AI, workplace challenges, and job satisfaction. The report recognized that the needs of frontline workers often differ from those of office-based workers. It’s a valuable reminder that employee experience conversations can skew too heavily toward desk-based work, even though frontline roles make up a substantial share of the global labor force and underpin most essential services. The data on structural burnout presents a familiar yet increasingly urgent issue. In 2024, about 75% […]

Infographic: Behavioral Signals in Hiring – How Fama Helps Identify Misconduct Before Day One

Posted on by

This infographic outlines the rising risk of workplace misconduct and the growing limitations of traditional hiring methods in identifying it. With misconduct rates increasing year over year and even small incidents driving significant impacts on productivity, retention, and culture, organizations need more proactive approaches. Fama addresses this gap through AI-driven social media screening that analyzes behavioral signals from candidates’ digital footprints, enabling early detection of potential risks. As digital natives make up an increasing share of the workforce, online behavior becomes a critical input in hiring decisions. The approach is reinforced by strong ethical and compliance safeguards, positioning a combined model of AI insights and human judgment as essential for improving hiring accuracy and protecting organizational integrity.

How Social Media and Behavioral Insights Are Helping Employers Detect Misconduct Before Day One

Posted on by

All business leaders have been there: a candidate looks great on paper, so you invest in hiring them, but once on board, they fail to meet expectations. 50% of today’s workers are digital natives, and with this number expected to increase to 75% over the next five years, most organizations still rely on outdated screening methods—résumés, interviews, and post-offer background checks—that are ill-equipped to capture behavioral red flags that often appear online but not on paper. From disclosing company information to violating safety protocols to harassing others, new hires with less visible issues, such as intolerance, tardiness, or substance abuse problems, can misalign with company policies or culture, jeopardizing your team’s productivity or your brand image. In-person interviews can fall short when you need to […]

Case Study: The Kansas City Royals’ Case for Dayforce’s Single HCM Platform

Posted on by

Professional sports organizations face workforce complexities that few other industries encounter. The Kansas City Royals are no exception, managing a highly dynamic workforce that includes full-time and seasonal staff who train, travel, and compete in different locations and jurisdictions. To address these operational and compliance challenges, the Royals modernized their human capital management environment by implementing the Dayforce single HCM platform. In 2024, 3Sixty Insights captured the vendor selection and implementation process of the Royals’ new application. Now, in March 2026, 3Sixty Insights connected with Senior Director of Payroll Operations for the Kansas City Royals, Jodi L. Parsons, CPP, to ask: how has Dayforce performed in real-time reporting, with more data, and at an affordable cost? Parsons, who oversaw the organization’s transition to Dayforce, continues […]

Research Agenda: Bridging Leadership and Labor – 3Sixty Insights’ 2026 Combined Workforce Agenda

Posted on by

The future of work is no longer a theoretical concept touching artificial intelligence, remote work or skills transformation. Instead, it has become an operational reality at a time when managers are stretched beyond capacity, employee engagement is declining, compliance complexity is growing, labor markets are leaning toward employers even as companies struggle to find talent, and technology systems are expanding faster than organizations can implement governance. Across industries, leaders recognize that their primary challenge is not adopting new tools, but learning how to operate differently. The next phase of workforce transformation is defined less by innovation itself than by execution—how organizations translate technology, strategy and people practices into measurable outcomes. Research emerging from 3Sixty Insights, informed by the work of analysts Nicole Roberts and Dylan […]

Analyst Insight: California Labor Laws and Compliance: Burden, Benchmark, or Competitive Advantage?

Posted on by

In more than one phone call with customers, vendors, or other analysts in the HR technology industry, I’ve heard the claim that it’s hard to do business in the state of California. According to these conversations, the state is riddled with unnecessary compliance requirements, too many hoops to jump through, a mountain of litigation risk, and constant rule changes. Business groups frequently cite labor and wage compliance requirements as part of a broader, burdensome business environment. So I decided to take a look. Is the situation in California really as out of control as people claim? Fact vs. Fiction To start, there is a significant kernel of truth behind these claims, especially when compared to the rest of the United States. California’s 2026 statewide minimum […]
