Analyst Insight: What Makes a Certified Great Place To Work Company

Posted on by

Many careers pages today seem to carry a badge: “Great Place To Work Certified.” But to the job market, what does it typically signal, and where does it fall short? As an analyst engaging with HR leaders, employees, and HR tech vendors, it seems like Great Place To Work certification is seen less as the sole indicator of a “good company” and more as part of a body of evidence that includes retention statistics, internal mobility metrics, cultural trends, and employee feedback initiatives. Taking a Closer Look Great Place To Work (GPTW) is a workplace culture consultancy that has spent over 30 years researching employee experience and positioning itself as a global authority on workplace culture. GPTW says more than 10,000 companies across 60 countries […]

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, too many hoops to jump through, a mountain of litigation risk, and constant changes to the rules. Business groups frequently cite labor, wage, and climate regulations 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 2025 statewide […]

California Labor Laws and Compliance: Burden, Benchmark, or Competitive Advantage? | Perception, Future Trends, and the Role of HR Tech

Posted on by

Part 3 of 3: Perception, Future Trends, and the Role of HR Tech In this final installment, we shift from diagnosis to implications. After situating California within the US and global context, we’ll explore why the “impossible to operate” narrative persists and how HR technology can transform high-compliance environments into lasting advantages. High wages, aggressive enforcement, litigation exposure, and complex rules do create real operational friction, and business-oriented groups consistently highlight these burdens. But in practice, part of this also stems less from irrational rules but more from the collision of California’s modern workforce standards with outdated, under-resourced HR teams and fragmented systems. For many companies, these laws and their internal resources are like oil and water. Multi-jurisdiction employers face friction, especially if their HR […]

California Labor Laws and Compliance: Burden, Benchmark, or Competitive Advantage? | Global Context & Real-World Impacts

Posted on by

Part 2 of 3: Global Context & Real-World Impacts Having established California as a state with high compliance standards in the US, this second installment broadens the perspective to a global context. We’ll compare California with similar economies and analyze how its policies impact workers and employers in real-world situations. How Does California Compare Globally? Compared to other major Western economies, California is much less extreme. To start, most of these countries already have many of these workplace laws in place, but also have unique nuances. In Canada, the American concept of “at-will employment” is not recognized and broadly considered illegal. Unlike in the US, where employment can be terminated at any time for any legal reason, Canadian employers are required to provide proper notice […]

California Labor Laws and Compliance: Burden, Benchmark, or Competitive Advantage? | Myths, Realities, and US Benchmarks

Part 1 of 3: Myths, Realities, and US Benchmarks 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, too many hoops to jump through, a mountain of litigation risk, and constant changes to the rules.

In this opening installment, I outline the context: Is California’s situation truly as dire as they say? Why do so many executives say that California presents challenges for employers, and what does […]

Zero Trust in the Age of AI: Why Enterprise Security Principles Are Becoming the Blueprint for Digital Trust

Posted on by

As enterprises wrestle with how to adopt AI responsibly, they’re rediscovering the same lesson cybersecurity mastered years ago: trust must be earned, verified, and continuously monitored.  The Trust Recession in Technology  I recently had the opportunity to sit down with John Armstrong, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Application & Network Security at Ivanti. Our conversation started with Ivanti’s approach to cybersecurity and the growing importance of Zero Trust. But as these conversations often do, it quickly expanded. We found ourselves talking not only about the challenges of securing networks but also about the growing challenge of trusting artificial intelligence.  That connection between cybersecurity and AI is not accidental. Both domains are struggling with the same fundamental problem: trust. Cybersecurity spent decades building systems to verify […]

Analyst Insight: AI Goes Nuclear

Posted on by

AI – and with it, HR tech – are going for the nuclear option. No, I don’t mean the whole industry is about to go belly up (or at least I hope not), but in the literal sense of the word. Late last year, major AI and technology companies announced their bold plans to invest in nuclear technology to meet the growing energy demands of their industry. There has already been an avalanche of negative press about the energy demands of AI, or even the energy demands of a single query on an AI platform. The infrastructure that powers AI, such as servers and data centers, is placing a significant strain on the energy grids of many states, leading to increased market-rate controlled energy prices […]
