Research Note: How Small and Medium-Sized Companies Can be Empowered to Excel at Human Capital Management

Posted on by

What You Need to Know Small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) tend to have different needs and requirements than large businesses — as well as different challenges. With typically under 1,000 employees and sometimes no more than a few dozen, constraints on both staff time and budgets in smaller organizations can create barriers to competing against larger enterprises for acquiring and retaining top talent.

Every domain of human capital management (HCM), it seems, has been tinged by fresh attitudes and new charters. As we enter a post-pandemic kind of HCM, we see employers big and small pursuing global employee mobility and chasing an ever better, ever expanding experience for their employees.

An apt example, the employer of record (EOR) business model facilitates global employee mobility and can be tantamount to protecting the employee experience as organizations quickly expand globally.
