Analyst Insight: Talent Intelligence Fundamentally Shifts How Organizations Should Measure Success

Posted on by

As 2023 rang in, so did the hype over artificial intelligence, particularly with generative AI (such as ChatGPT). Seemingly overnight, the long-gathering buzz surrounding AI’s applicability not only to the world of work, but also to business and everything else, became nearly deafening. AI has become seemingly pertinent to just about everything — and it probably is. As more industries begin to realize the opportunities this rapidly developing technology presents to their operations and bottom lines, questions abound. Front-and-center among them is: where to start? In human capital management (HCM), the answer is, just about anywhere. We see vendors applying AI to their solutions for payroll, scheduling, employee self-service, performance management, benefits administration — the list goes on.

#HRTechChat: Navigating the Talent Shortage: A Creative Approach to Skills-Based Hiring

Posted on by

Businesses face a growing challenge: the talent shortage. The traditional ways of recruiting and hiring no longer suffice in a world where the working-age population is shrinking, and the gap between available talent and job openings is widening. To shed light on this issue, we turn to recent research from the Burning Glass Institute and a fascinating conversation with Pamela Stroko about innovative solutions. Here are some of the main themes of our conversation: The Shrinking Workforce The working-age population has been steadily declining, with little to no growth. Starting in 2012, we witnessed a meager 0.5% growth in the working-age population, and this rate slowed to 0.2% from 2017 onwards. This trend is expected to persist until at least 2030, painting a grim picture […]

Professional Employer Organizations: Getting From Operational to Strategic

Posted on by

When it comes to HR, most small businesses reach a point of reckoning. They finally realize they can’t wing it anymore, whether that be with accidental HR people or inadequate technology — or, for the latter, none at all beyond email, perhaps a shared drive, and standard-issue spreadsheet software. (Believe us when we say, even well past the second decade of the 21st century, we still see it all in the interviews 3Sixty Insights conducts with users….) Reaching their senses, small businesses eventually seek structure for all the complexities and red tape associated with the management of the employment of people. This is when they may call up the services of a typical professional employer organization. Most of the time, these employers are stretched as […]

Join 3Sxity Insights’ Jennifer Dole, along with Kelly Cartwright Vice President of Global Talent Acquisition of Splunk and Clarissa Peterson President and CEO of Ohana HR, LLC as they discuss HR Technology in pact to helping drive gender equality. Secession Description:  In recent years, the overall state of women’s employment has seen improvements. Yet, despite organizations’ increased focus on gender equality, the earnings gap is real and women are still paid less than men. Occupational segregation – in select fields such as retail, healthcare and education – contributes to gender wage gaps, especially for women without a college degree. Women also still shoulder a disproportionate amount of caregiving responsibilities, many without protections such as paid leave that preserve their career paths. In this closing keynote, […]
