The Shift to Cashless Tips and What It Means for Workers

Recently, I came across a feature that caught my attention—Dayforce’s new cashless tip functionality, which is integrated into their Dayforce Wallet. In a world that’s rapidly moving toward cashless transactions, the tradition of cash tips is starting to fade. This change is significant, especially for tipped workers who have historically relied on cash for immediate, untaxed earnings. Let’s be real: for many in the service industry, cash tips have long provided a bit of relief from the tax burden. When you’re barely scraping by, that extra bit of cash—off the books—can feel like a lifeline. Whether it was for a sandwich on the way home or a drink after a long shift, cash tips offered something immediate and untouchable by the taxman. For decades, this […]

Maximizing Private Equity Performance: The Role of PEOs in Strategic Human Capital Management

Private equity (PE) firms face several challenges in their quest for high-potential investments, including rising capital costs, extended holding periods, and economic unpredictability. However, an often-overlooked factor in their evaluations of their portfolio companies is the importance of effective human capital management. The success of most companies is intricately tied to the presence of skilled and talented employees. In 2024, this is becoming more crucial than ever, especially as the best employees look towards companies that value employee well-being. A study by FTSE Russell found that companies focusing on effectively managing their human capital have significantly higher productivity, revenue, and profitability, with revenue-per-employee growth nearly double the average rate. These can be untapped gains for a new acquisition, especially given the higher attrition rates during […]

Workforce Software Guest Blog: Organizational Change Management (OCM) Meets Workforce Management: A Guide

As businesses and enterprises contend with the constant drive for technological innovation, economic turmoil from geopolitical tensions, and multiple generations working side by side in the workforce, no one would argue that this era is characterized as one of “maximum change and unpredictability.“  Similarly, few would challenge the notion that this operating landscape brings challenges and opportunities, with the latter being enjoyed by those businesses that excel in one competency area in particular: managing change or the domain commonly known as Organizational Change Management (OCM).  Why OCM is Vital for Large Enterprises A recent Boston Consulting Group study revealed that during the past two decades, only 26% of corporate transformations successfully created value in both the short and long terms. Then, we have the oft-cited McKinsey findings that only 30% of organizational change initiatives are considered highly successful afterward.    Effective change management is even more vital when more stakeholders (e.g., employees, managers, HR and […]
