Pulse Survey: What Makes Leave Management the #1 Pain Point – and How to Fix It

A recent herronpalmer survey on HR-Payroll revealed that more than half (60%) of companies cited leave management as a #1 leading pain point for the smooth and efficient running of payroll – 2x that of any other aspect of paying the workforce!  Diagnosing technology and process pain points has been the HR/Payroll conversation most requested by Total Rewards leaders in 2022 and 2023. What is it then that makes the interaction between this data and payroll twice as painful as any other aspect of paying the workforce? We invite you to spend 10-15 minutes to provide your input – and will share the results from our first HR Practitioner Pulse survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LeavePainPoints

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

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. Name a subdomain of HCM, and there’s […]

Case Study Vignette: Harri – Helping a Private Equity Fund Protect and Grow the Value of Its Restaurant Investments

Private equity can be a tough business. So is the restaurant industry. Imagine combining the two. A private equity firm first and foremost must have wealth. And it must be adept at conserving and building that wealth. Those are the main criteria for success. As for running a restaurant, the margins can be thin. This is why, for any restaurant, among the most time-consuming activities (and greatest operational costs) are those associated with employing people effectively and compliantly. Scheduling is a big one here. Putting together employees’ hours is another. With non-exempt staff’s fluctuating hours and toggling between workweeks considered part-time and full-time under the law, benefits administration can be a big challenge, too. At a restaurant, these operational costs have a way of easily […]

Case Study: Rutherford Investment Company Partners with isolved to Evolve from Operational to Strategic HR

What You Need to Know We often discuss digitization as a way to facilitate operational HR—the nitty gritty fundamentals, the necessities, the boxes that need to be checked. The assumption inherent in these conversations is that greasing the path for these compliance-oriented tasks will free up time for strategic HR, reducing administrative tedium in favor of higher-level, people-oriented efforts. This journey to HCM maturity is a long series of steps, each at once meaningful and small. It is a path to success we’ve seen unfold time and time again with users of isolved. Put these small steps aside, however. Consider also that it’s so often the small things that define the employee experience, always a priority no matter where an organization is in its HCM […]

Analyst Insight: Insperity Empowers People Leader at CoreRx to Demonstrate HR’s Strategic Value to the Organization

Six years ago, Kevin Rierson became the very first HR person at CoreRx. In business for 11 years at the time, CoreRx, which now employs approximately 200 people (with some seasonal ebb and flow), is what’s known in the pharmaceutical industry as a contract manufacturing organization (CMO). This means it formulates drug delivery methods, such as tablets and capsules, and moves them through the manufacturing process to be cleared and approved by the FDA. Before Rierson joined CoreRx as the HR director, HR at the company fell under the authority of an “accidental HR person” — in the parlance of human capital management (HCM), someone with another, official role who also happened to be responsible for tactical, operational HR. It’s easy to imagine the result […]

Anatomy of a Decision: Frontline Employee Experience Platform Harri Drives Operational and Financial Excellence for Jersey Mike’s Subs

What You Need to Know At what point does a business pause to consider the costs of managing HR processes on paper and in digital spreadsheets? Where does the push come from to trigger an analysis of manual processes vs. automation? In many cases, manual processes work just fine and a ‘don’t fix it if it ain’t broke’ perspective leaves those processes neglected until a problem arises. Because something is working, however, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s efficient. What if transitioning human capital management (HCM) processes from manual to automated can save a significant amount of time, money, and frustration for your business? HCM automation enables swift execution of scheduling and recruiting processes that currently consume large chunks of time for businesses. Automation alleviates complex […]

#HRTechChat: The “Ambition Recession” and Activating Employees with Pamela Stroko

Welcome back to another episode of #HRTechChat, where we dive into the latest trends and strategies in human resources and workplace technology. In this podcast episode, our host, Jennifer, is joined by HR expert Pamela Stroko to discuss a pressing topic – the staggering 59% of the workforce who are quietly quitting their jobs. Pamela sheds light on the concept of the “”Dead Zone,”” the time of day when remote or hybrid workers are not available to their managers. This lack of trust and connection to work has contributed to the decline in productivity and engagement among employees. Pamela introduces a concept called the “Ambition Recession,” a term coined by Gad Levanon, which points to the decline in employee ambition and engagement since the pandemic. […]

Professional Employer Organizations: Getting From Operational to Strategic

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 […]

#HRTechChat: James Galvin, CEO and Co-Founder of Starcircle

The talent acquisition of today is nonlinear. By this, we mean it’s all one thing, not a siloed process with many activities taking place in an orderly fashion or readily apparent, repeatable sequence. James Galvin should know. Our guest for this episode of the #HRTechChat video podcast, James is CEO and co-founder of Starcircle, a Cork, Ireland–headquartered vendor of cloud software and services designed to result in truly effective talent acquisition campaigns by looking at these as holistic efforts and considering sourcing first, and not last — an idea embodied in a term Starcircle uses: long-tail talent.

Case Study Vignette: Insperity Partners with CEO of Quickly Expanding Midmarket Client PRS to Help Him Achieve Strategic Plan for the Workforce

With swift organizational growth come challenges and revelations along the way that, together, are the ingredients in a recipe that can elevate conventional conceptions of what a professional employer organization (PEO) can be. The story at PRS is that tale: a small organization growing rapidly in its headcount to become a midmarket employer and, along the way, turning to Insperity, the PEO that would be able to help PRS manage this growth from the standpoint of operational HR and help executive leadership realize its greater vision for their people. PRS: Growing with Insperity In considering traditional views of why an organization would turn to a PEO, Joe Getch, CEO of PRS, says, “I think a lot of people might think of a PEO as a […]

#HRTechChat: Adam Famularo, CEO of WorkFusion

For many, it is natural to see advancements in artificial intelligence and worry over their impact on people in the world of work. Even so, years from now we may well look back on “the past of the future of work” and understand that many, possibly most, of these fears were unfounded—or misplaced, at least. This episode of the #HRTechChat video podcast is about that. Joining us was guest Adam Famularo, CEO of WorkFusion, whose “AI Digital Workers” are just plain better—more accurate, more efficient—than any human could be in monitoring for financial crime.
