Case Study Vignette: isolved Helps Lift Vibrant Nonprofit Philadelphia FIGHT Out of the “Paper-Lithic Era” of HR

There are several versions of the well-known HCM Maturity Model, a framework for understanding and pinpointing where HR departments are in their evolution and where they can eventually be, from purely operational to strategic. A helpful whitepaper walks readers through an easily accessible explanation of The Five Phases of HCM Maturity according to isolved—in order: Basic, Integrated, Automated, Developed, and Engaged. In commencing their journey through the phases of the HCM Maturity Model, HR departments first strive to become tight in workflow, introducing efficiency to the absolute essentials for employing people.

Case Study Vignette: isolved Spares Hands-On, Strategic People Leader and Owner of Right at Home North Shore LI the Hassles of Unautomated HR

Any business can benefit from gaining greater visibility into its people. Even basic information, such as their total numbers, whereabouts, hours worked, legal qualifications to do this work or that, and more, can be gold for not only the HR department, but also organizational leadership.

The Boston #isolvedRoadShow Episode of #HRTechChat with Guest Geoff Webb

Last week, just before the morning’s program commenced at the Boston stop along the 2023 #isolvedRoadShow, this episode’s #HRTechChat video podcast guest Geoff Webb and I met for some impromptu “green room” time and joked that it was too bad the camera wasn’t rolling. Never fear, however: I plan to build on that very interesting discussion soon with a dedicated blog entry…. Following the conclusion of last Thursday’s itinerary at the Courtyard by Marriot, Geoff and I sat down for this episode of the podcast — recorded “in concert, so to speak,” from the Road Show floor.

#HRTechChat: Brandon Dorr, Director of People Technologies at WPS Health Solutions

My guest for this episode of the #HRTechChat video podcast was Brandon Dorr, director of people technologies at WPS Health Solutions. The path Brandon took landing him in HR is interesting. He’s an IT person and never expected that this background would steer him into a career intersecting with human capital management (HCM). He started at WPS as a service delivery specialist, a very IT kind of role. “So I came in to help with technical project management,” he said, “representing just that additional level of technical expertise that our project managers didn’t necessarily have at that time.” Eventually, the company’s HR department expressed a need for help with its data and asked Brandon to consult. One thing led to another, as the saying goes, […]

Research Agenda: The 3Sixty Insights Talent Management Research Themes for 2023

Since engaging with the HR technology space as a research analyst, I have had many eye-opening conversations with solution providers and human resource leaders alike. These exchanges opened my mind to new ideas and ways of thinking, resulting in an increased enthusiasm for this subject. I want to help our community challenge the status quo and discard practices that are no longer fit for purpose. This revised agenda has evolved through those conversations and hopefully you will see a greater curiosity on challenges and solutions. Advances in technology are revolutionizing the way we work by enabling people to be more efficient, effective and successful in ways that were not possible before (3Sixty Insights Blog – “How can business find the right balance between empathy and […]
