With the help of the UKG suite and a determined leader in HR taking on a role combining payroll and mobility, Clif Bar was able to transform global mobility as the pandemic took hold—for example, finding novel ways to give manufacturing and other staff not normally associated with mobility options in where they could work, and more. Notably, payroll functionality from UKG, specifically, has been fundamental in all this.
In this Market Alert, 3Sixty Insights analyzes how new functionality is edging global payroll provider Immedis ever closer to achieving touchless payroll for its customers. The development improves executives’ ability to gain access to and analyze the related employee data, which aids significantly in decision-making. Additionally, the vendor is also making savvy investments in the mobile experience.
This Research Note compares and contrasts traditional and modern performance management, describes how Betterworks makes continuous performance enablement possible, and showcases a use case of Betterworks at University of Phoenix. Outdated, traditional performance management is mostly compliance-minded and antithetical to promoting employee engagement, whereas modern performance management is characterized by continual conversations between employees and managers occurring seamlessly in the flow of work.
This report presents an in-depth look at the decision-making process University of Phoenix underwent in recognizing the need to modernize and transform its approach to performance management. The employer ultimately chose Betterworks as the technological vehicle to carry out a highly progressive vision for modern performance management. University of Phoenix calls this new approach Everyday Performance Development, which greatly deemphasizes annual performance reviews in favor of promoting, facilitating and accommodating continual conversations between managers and staff.
Research Note: DiSC Profiles Do Not Affect Sales Performance
Our partners at the Sales Conservatory have published their original research showing that the popular DiSC personality test is not a reliable predictor of a potential salesperson’s performance. Their findings are based on two robust experiments of theirs involving large sample sizes at a Fortune 100 firm. It turns out, there’s no statistically significant correlation between people’s ability to do well in sales and their DiSC test scores. Sales Conservatory argues, convincingly, that DiSC results should therefore not be a major criterion driving hiring decisions in sales.

Playground Rules for the World of Work
On the playground, children figure out what they can do with what they have before they pick the game—and by consensus. At our blog, 3Sixty Insights’ lead fintech analyst Craig Himmelberger wonders why employers don’t plan in the same way. So many insist on picking the game (i.e., setting their strategic goals) before they even know what and who they have on hand to achieve it. The result is a greater-than-fifty-percent project failure rate. Savvy readers will see the underlying argument: HCM needs to be front-and-center in business decision-making, and AI-supported skills ontologies can help to get us back to the playground.
