Beyond the Buzzwords: A More Honest Look at the Skills Crisis
Fuel50’s 2025 Skills Crisis Report aims to pinpoint the primary causes of talent misalignment in modern organizations. The report successfully punctures the illusion that companies have control over their internal talent ecosystems and tries to target the structural inertia that plagues workforce management. The report’s core insight is that organizations are operating with a false sense of security when it comes to skills visibility: “Companies think they have their skills and talent problems under control until the data proves otherwise.” 92% of organizations say they understand their workforce’s skills, yet 74% admit that lack of visibility directly impedes business performance. This disconnect between self-perception and operational reality should alarm any business leader. 3Sixty Insights found similar findings in our November 2024 benchmark report that looks […]
FAMA Press Release: New Research Shows What Hiring Teams Already Know: What They Post Is Who You’ll Get—And Now There’s Data to Help Spot It Early
LOS ANGELES, CA — May 21, 2025 — A new independent research report from 3Sixty Insights is shining a light on Fama Technologies as a critical solution for today’s evolving hiring landscape. The report examines how Fama helps companies uncover job-relevant misconduct signals before day one, bridging the gaps left by resumes, interviews, and traditional background checks. As hiring grows more complex, so does the challenge of measuring quality of hire. According to LinkedIn’s Future of Recruiting 2025 report, 89% of talent leaders say quality of hire is becoming more important, but just 25% feel confident in how their company measures it. Meanwhile, 61% believe AI will play a key role in solving that problem. The new research backs this up, showing how Fama’s AI-powered platform gives teams a clearer view into candidate fit, risk, […]
Research Note: Behavioral Intelligence in Hiring – How Fama Helps Identify Misconduct Before Day One
Executive Summary Today, nearly everyone has a visible online footprint. The average person voluntarily shares dozens of data points publicly online, sometimes with great detail. By evaluating this behavior, organizations gain insights into candidates’ cultural fit and potential risks for damaging behaviors, helping employers understand a candidate’s workplace impact before employment begins. The organizational impacts of even modest levels of employee misconduct are profound. With even a small rate of misconduct setting off a domino effect of consequences for productivity and talent retention, organizations in which just 5% of workers commit misconduct suffer a 40% reduction in productivity. These same organizations also risk losing their most valuable employees, who become 54% more likely to depart when these are the workplace conditions. Fama’s 2024 Misconduct Benchmark […]
Case Study: 15Five – A Proactive Approach to HR Transformation in a Fully Remote Organization
What You Need to Know Remote work has remained popular ever since the pandemic, making it feasible for many roles. A 2024 Gallup survey found that 28% of workers for whom it’s possible would prefer to be fully remote, and another 61% would choose a hybrid work arrangement. This adds up to a clear majority (89%) who would rather not be required to commute to an office every work day. And yet, while employees overwhelmingly prefer the logistical flexibility of remote work, it can have significant consequences for their engagement and their workplace satisfaction. The precise work arrangement an individual would choose for reasons of convenience can lead to challenges on a deeper and arguably more impactful level in some circumstances. Poor communication, feelings of […]

Case Study: How UKG Helped RPM Living Enable Employee Experience as the Priority
RPM Living, founded in 2002 in Austin, Texas, is a full-service multifamily property management, investment, and development firm. The company specializes in acquiring, building, and operating multifamily rental communities. Over the years, RPM Living has experienced significant growth. In 2021, the company merged with CF Real Estate Services, expanding its portfolio to 84,000 units across multiple states and increasing its workforce to over 1,800 associates nationwide. RPM Living continues to expand its presence, with over 225,000 units under management in more than 45 submarkets across 30 states. This rapid growth has forced the organization to evaluate its HR technology solutions and overall IT structure. When the company grew from 3,000 to 5,000 employees—partly through acquisition, but also organically—it became an “inflection point,” explains Ahmad Noordin, […]
Anatomy of a Decision Vignette: How isolved Strengthened the Onboarding and Payroll Experience for QSR Employees and Customers
What You Need to Know To most Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) customers, front-line workers are the business. Whether it’s by providing quality service or resolving customer issues, they’re the ones who maintain the customer experience. That involves everything from taking orders and maintaining facilities to troubleshooting delivery delays and making sure a customer’s request for “mayonnaise, not mustard” is fulfilled. It follows, then, that QSRs view the employee experience as critical. Because the industry’s wages tend to be low and vary little, workers will switch employers for a minimal raise, slightly better benefits, or a more professional working environment. Combine that with the importance of experience in dealing with the public as well as the business’s operations, and you begin to see why employee experience […]
Research Note: How isolved’s Industry Expertise Enables Quick Service Restaurants to Recruit and Engage an Ever-Changing Workforce
In high-turnover industries like quick service restaurants, employee experience can often be overlooked, as it’s merely a fleeting part of business operations. In the eyes of a busy business owner or restaurant operator, many employees are there one moment and gone the next. What business leaders miss, however, is that employees represent the most powerful resource at their disposal. When it comes to business operations, employees are the primary drivers of retention, performance, and customer satisfaction. For businesses that rely on regular, up-close interactions with their customers, employees are integral to the success of their business. Whether it’s a smile greeting them when they walk in the door, or seasoned professionals who know a menu from front to back, at quick service restaurants (QSRs), workers […]

Remote Work Is Not a Fad—It’s a Strategic Advantage
I recently came across the work of Stanford professor of economics Nick Bloom, who has spent years leading research into one of the most hotly debated topics in workforce management these days: remote work, hybrid work, and working from home (WFH). His platform, wfhresearch.com, offers a data-driven look at how flexible work shapes productivity, retention, and long-term business resilience. The verdict? Hybrid work is here to stay, and for good reason. Bloom’s research underscores the enduring nature of remote and hybrid work models, highlighting their potential benefits for both employees and organizations. In fact, over 80% of Fortune 500 companies already operate on a hybrid model for managerial and professional roles. Here’s why the model works: Productivity remains strong: Employees working from home two days […]
eightfold Blog: In a Year of Uncertainty, Focus On Upskilling
Upskilling and reskilling directly address HR’s known challenges, yet according to our Annual Eightfold Talent Survey, only two-thirds of departments are prioritizing this approach. Upskilling can reduce turnover and costs and is less risky than hiring and onboarding new employees. It also better enables teams and companies to adapt to change. HR teams’ efforts at upskilling are often stymied by misalignment, not understanding your workforce’s current skills, and an inability to identify new employee opportunities. Benjamin Franklin once wrote, “Nothing is certain except for death and taxes.” This guaranteed uncertainty of life extends to every dimension of business: revenue, expenses, technology, market trends, and, of course, hiring. Many organizations are unsure how to or where they should grow their workforces and develop slates for new positions. However, […]

Burnout, AI, and Economic Uncertainty: Why Employers Must Act Now
One thing I’ve been looking into since joining 3Sixty Insights has been the underemphasis on burnout at work and the need for more technology platforms to address it. Critics are quick to label this a “touchy-feely” subject, but it’s a core business challenge that directly affects engagement, productivity, and financial performance. As we saw in our 3Sixty Insights benchmark report, unaddressed burnout can potentially cost businesses trillions through lost productivity and higher turnover rates. With record-high burnout and ongoing economic uncertainty, now is the critical moment for employers to prioritize employee wellbeing.

Examples include automating scheduling to ensure fair workloads, early identification of burnout through analytics, providing wellness platforms […]
