Analyst Insight: The Pros and Cons of Hiring Former Employees

Posted on by

What You Need to Know When it comes to hiring, there are several different approaches you can take. You can post a job listing and wait for applications to come in. You can reach out to your network of contacts to see if anyone knows a good fit. Or, you can go through your company’s roster of former employees and see if there’s anyone you want to bring back into the fold. Of course, there are many other approaches, but let’s focus on the idea of former employees coming back to work. In a recent LinkedIn survey post, I asked, “Have you ever hired a former employee?” It was surprising that 76 percent responded with “yes, it was a great decision.” These respondents are from […]

Market Alert: Betterworks Integrates With LinkedIn Learning to Create More Transparency and Accountability for Employee Development

Posted on by

What Happened Betterworks, a provider of enterprise software for continuous performance management, recently announced an integration with LinkedIn Learning, the world’s largest online learning platform. This integration strengthens the growing connection between performance management and employee development. Using goals, regular check-ins, and feedback loops, managers and employees are able to more effectively collaborate on learning trajectories for each individual contributor. Background The workplace is constantly changing and evolving, and to keep up with these changes, it is important for employees to be lifelong learners. The reason learning has become increasingly important is because the world is constantly changing, and to keep up with the competition, employees need to be able to adapt and learn new skills quickly. Many companies are turning to learning management or […]

3Sixty Insights #HRTechChat with Larry McAlister, talent and transformation expert, and founder of The Corporate Humanist Consultancy

Posted on by

This is my first time hosting an HR Tech Chat and my first guest is Larry McAlister! My colleague Brent Skinner included me on HR Tech Chats before – Talent Management – It Will Blend and 3Sixty Insights Shares its Takeaways from the HR Technology Conference & Expo.  We are going to make a regular practice out of sharing our big ideas, and he has encouraged me to host my own HR Tech Chat too. I am so grateful for this opportunity! When I first met Larry, our professional paths intersected at NetApp and Fuel50, I was struck by his passion for helping organizations transform their talent and culture through the effective use of technology. It is not surprising that he recently published a book […]

Attending Work Events

Will We Be Attending Work Events in Person or Virtually Going Forward?

Posted on by

Over the last few years, we’ve all become quite accustomed to attending conferences virtually. While there are some advantages to this (no expensive travel costs!), there’s nothing quite like being in person to learn and network. Fortunately, it looks like live conferences are making a comeback.  Just to name a few … HR Tech, Unleash, Cornerstone’s Convergence, Fuel50’s FuelX, etc.   But not everyone wants to go back to in-person events only.  According to a recent LinkedIn poll I conducted, the highest percentage of people want to attend work events in 2023 offered as hybrid (58%) versus in person (39%) or virtually only (3%). Hybrid was popular because you can choose to attend in person or virtually based on your budget, preference, and schedule.  Live conferences […]

Who owns internal mobility

Who Owns Internal Mobility?

Posted on by

The business world has experienced rapid changes in the way work is done. The advent of new technologies and the globalization of markets has led to a more competitive and fluid workplace. This has necessitated a change in the way companies view their talent. Internal talent mobility has become a key factor in success, but who owns internal talent mobility?  Talent Acquisition?  Talent Management?  Employees?  Manager?   A few weeks ago on LinkedIn, I posed the question “who owns internal mobility?”  The results confirm that it isn’t clear – 6% of votes are for Talent Acquisition, 41% of votes are for Talent Management, 32% of votes are for Managers, and 21% of votes are for Employees.  What is most interesting about these results is if you […]

#HRTechChat: 3Sixty Insights Shares its Takeaways from the HR Technology Conference & Expo

Posted on by

For those of you who don’t know, Jen Dole has joined the team at 3Sixty Insights as director and principal analyst to dive deep into talent management. Jen and I go back a little bit. The week before last, at HR Technology Conference & Expo, was the first time we saw each other face to face since the first time she and I met. When was that? It was when we were both at Cornerstone. Working in different divisions, we ran into each other at LAX on our way to the company’s 20th anniversary celebration in Palm Springs, Calif., and got to chatting. Later, Jen and I began to talk shop a bit more after she joined Fuel50, which is where she was most recently. […]

The Changing Definition of Success

The Changing Definition of Success

Posted on by

We all have different ideas of what success looks like. In a recent LinkedIn post, I asked, “What does success mean to you?”  The results were not surprising – 10% of votes were for achieving your goals, 47% of votes were for making a difference, and 43% of votes were for being happy and fulfilled. With the experience of the last few years, more and more people are rethinking what success looks like. In the past, success was often defined by things like job title, salary, and level of education. While those things are still important to many people, they are no longer the only things that matter. Nowadays, more and more people are focused on making a difference and being happy and fulfilled.  They […]

Empathy and Efficiency Thumbnail

How can businesses find the right balance between empathy and efficiency?

Posted on by

There is often a trade-off between doing what’s best for the company and doing what’s best for employees. Oftentimes, this means sacrificing empathy in order to be more efficient. While this may not seem like an issue on the surface, research has shown that when companies focus too much on efficiency, they can actually hurt employee productivity and engagement.    “We may think that by putting on a tough exterior and pushing ourselves harder, we are achieving more,” shares Karen, an executive in Human Resources. “But in reality, this approach often has the opposite effect, alienating those around us and reducing our productivity in the long run.”  By sacrificing our empathy for efficiency, we not only impair our relationships, but we also miss out on […]

Health and Wellbeing Have a Big Impact on Careers

Posted on by

According to the Women @ Work 2022 by Deloitte, a survey of 5,000 women across 10 countries, more than half of the women are more stressed than a year ago. In addition, 46% of the women surveyed feel burned out.  This widespread burnout fueled by rising stress levels is worrying.   Burnout has become a common problem in today’s society and workplaces. We are constantly being bombarded with more information and new technologies, which has led to an “always on” culture. This has caused many people to feel overwhelmed and stressed out. The constant pressure to be productive can take its toll on our mental and physical health, leading to burnout.    So what can we do to address this issue? While there is no one-size-fits-all answer, […]
