Research Note: Gloat Supports Organizations Through Transition to Talent Transformation

Posted on by

What You Need to Know 3Sixty Insights has written previously of the critical role development opportunities play in the employee experience. We have also established that employee experience must be a priority for any employer wishing to remain competitive in this job market which constantly threatens to lure top talent away. Let us take it as fact, then, that employee development is essential for a business’s growth: There can be no hope of growth without reasonable retention. Likewise, it is becoming clear that there can be no true growth without workforce agility, a concept which was advanced prior to the COVID-19 pandemic but has taken on a new meaning in its wake. In an agile workforce, employees’ skills and capabilities are both cultivated for growth […]

Research Note: The Next Era of Organizational Restructuring: What We Can and Should Do Differently

Posted on by

Simply mentioning the phrase “organizational restructuring” brings to mind images of employee layoffs, organizational chaos, and loss of valued work relationships.  Restructuring, like dental surgery, is one of those things we want to avoid but at times is necessary to prevent even worse pain and suffering. And if economic predictions about a potential recession in 2023 prove true, it will become more common over the coming months resulting in layoffs in other industries in addition to the 200,000+ that have recently occurred in the technology industry. Restructuring is often forced upon companies by economic constraints, but even when it is necessary, companies still have considerable control over how it is done and the long-term impact it has on the organization, employees and former employees.

Research Note: Global Mobility – Strategize for the Employee Experience and Related Organizational Success

Posted on by

What You Need to Know Traditionally, organizations have expanded into other countries in order to engage with new audiences in new ways and diversify perspectives to meet global demands, among other reasons that could vary from cost control, employee satisfaction and speed to market. What’s less traditional, but has been brewing for years, is the emergence of a borderless workforce. Catalysts precipitating this most viscerally have been advancements in technology to support payroll, compliance, employee communication, hiring, and collaboration across international organizational footprints that are vast. An even greater factor has been so-called economic globalism. In tandem to all this, attitudes over the idea of a borderless workforce have fallen in line, largely in support of the trend. Against this backdrop, the response of employers […]

Employees want to be engaged in their work, have a sense of purpose, and feel like they are part of something bigger.

Research Note: Betterworks Helps University of Phoenix Replace Annual Performance Reviews With Everyday Performance Development

Posted on by

Old ways of carrying out performance management involve a rigidity, an inflexibility and level of formality. The limitations of standard-issue software for it, typically a part of end-to-end suites for human capital management (HCM), have generally reinforced all of this to encourage and perpetuate an ineffective, annual approach to assessing employees’ performance. The focus is top-down assessment, and the treatment of employee performance has ultimately turned into a policing exercise that people have come to dread. Historically, this has delivered little value to the company and always been at odds with the earnest intent most organizations have in assessing their employees’ performance: to promote better performance in a positive way (3Sixty Insights 3SIAG2214 – “The 3Sixty Insights Human Capital Management Themes for 2022,” January 2022).

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. […]
