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. To help SMBs compete for the best, their system for human capital management (HCM) must harness the ability to deliver efficiencies, provide data-driven results and equip the teams using them to create the best possible employee experience. In this vein, 3Sixty Insights has examined delivering solutions for some of the biggest challenges that HR people face today and expect in the future. […]

Posted on by

This Analyst Insight explains why self-evolving skills ontologies built the right way with artificial intelligence are fundamental to organizational success.

Posted on by

Every domain of human capital management (HCM), it seems, has been tinged by fresh attitudes and new charters.

Entire market niches have seen the demand for them continue to grow rapidly. 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. Meanwhile, HR’s seat at the table of organizational leadership seems finally within reach as the state of the art of technology for HCM equips HR practitioners (and line managers) with the tools and data they need to […]

SHRM – Managers Can Help Employees Hone Critical Soft Skills

Neither the first-time manager nor the group’s supervisor knew quite how to correct the behavior that was causing distrust among co-workers. April Metcalf, SHRM-SCP, was the company’s HR director at the time. She used role playing with the manager and supervisor to help them learn how to address the situation, prepared them for possible responses from the employee when they met with her, and reviewed how to help prevent a repeat of the behavior. “Role playing with the manager and supervisor helped them show more confidence and be prepared to discuss this [behavior] with the employee,” Metcalf says. “Going further, detailing potential situations with the employee helped her to see the discord that it was causing […]

Anatomy of a Decision: Magnox Ltd. Makes the Decision to Migrate HCM and FP&A to the UNIT4 Cloud

Posted on by

What You Need to Know 3Sixty Insights spoke with a customer of Unit4 whose choice to continue their transformation by moving their human capital management (HCM) and financial planning and analysis (FP&A) tools to the cloud helps illustrate several emerging realities. Much of the need for HCM resides beyond HR’s traditional scope. HCM technology is at its best when integrated seamlessly with other domains of the enterprise. It provides deep companywide insights into the organization’s people data. This, in turn, furnishes leadership and line managers alike with the information they need to make real-time, informed decisions on staffing for optimal organizational resilience—e.g., workforce agility, financial control, cashflow management, reduction in staff turnover, right-fit talent for organizational growth, etc. People-centric organizations tend to have forward-thinking leaders […]
