Case Study: HRIS Challenges in Global Growth and Mergers

Posted on by

As companies expand their operations across the globe, managing HR systems becomes increasingly complex. HRIS solutions often struggle to adapt to the diverse legal, cultural, and operational challenges of global growth. The situation becomes even more complicated during mergers and acquisitions, where disparate HCM systems must be integrated into a cohesive framework. A seamless and efficient system is essential, but finding one that works globally and meets the specific needs of diverse locations can be daunting. Merging HR Systems for Two Mining Giants Consider the merger of two major mining companies: one with 18,000 employees and the other with 5,000. The larger company relied on SAP for its HCM system, while the smaller organization used a combination of Cornerstone and Oracle solutions. Despite their differences, […]

#HRTechChat: Mike Ettling, Chief Executive Officer at Unit4

Posted on by

I’m going to date myself here. My first encounter with Mike Ettling, CEO of Unit4, was over 10 years ago. Technology editor for HRO Today at the time, I was relatively wet behind the ears, as the saying goes, when it comes to human capital management and the technology for it. I attended a briefing for analysts and the industry press with Mike, CEO at the time of what was then NorthgateArinso. The gathering was in real life, a.k.a. IRL (a term that had not even emerged yet). “Well, Brent, that goes back some time,” Mike said when I brought it up to open the discussion on this episode of the #HRTechChat video podcast. Much has happened since 2011. NGA became NGA Human Resources and, […]

Will We Be Attending Work Events in Person or Virtually Going Forward?

Posted on by

Over the last few years, we’ve all become quite accustomed to attending conferences virtually. While there are some advantages to this (no expensive travel costs!), there’s nothing quite like being in person to learn and network. Fortunately, it looks like live conferences are making a comeback.  Just to name a few … HR Tech, Unleash, Cornerstone’s Convergence, Fuel50’s FuelX, etc.   But not everyone wants to go back to in-person events only.  According to a recent LinkedIn poll I conducted, the highest percentage of people want to attend work events in 2023 offered as hybrid (58%) versus in person (39%) or virtually only (3%). Hybrid was popular because you can choose to attend in person or virtually based on your budget, preference, and schedule.  Live conferences […]

Infographic: Changing a Large Organization’s Culture Begins with the Decision to Do So

Posted on by

As part of a multi-pronged effort to revitalize and reinvigorate its employer culture, University of Phoenix overhauled and reimagined its approach to performance management. The result was to replace annual reviews with quarterly check-ins and overall positivity under the aegis of an internal program named Everyday Performance Development. After giving the new approach a shot with SAP SuccessFactors, the institution’s existing provider at the time, Vice President of Talent Management Jeff Andes ultimately found significant success with Betterworks.

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).

Anatomy of a Decision: University of Phoenix Makes Its Vision to Deploy Everyday Performance Development a Reality With Betterworks

What You Need to Know To explore Betterworks’ effectiveness as a key factor among many drivers for cultural transformation in the workplace, 3Sixty Insights spoke with Jeff Andes, vice president of talent management at University of Phoenix. Specifically, this Anatomy of a Decision™ from 3Sixty Insights investigates how University of Phoenix leveraged Betterworks replace SAP SuccessFactors’ performance management module. This move played an important role in supporting a broad and deep initiative to transform University of Phoenix’s culture, ultimately delivering a significantly improved experience with continuous performance enablement. Having gone private a few years prior, University of Phoenix was going through a related, positive cultural transformation. This was a top-down priority at the time from the then-incoming president. Since then, the priority has flourished into […]

Case Study: Core-Mark International Empowers Its People with Centralized HR Operations Powered by UKG

Posted on by

Organizations employing thousands in staff and spanning thousands of miles in geographic footprint face a dilemma in human capital management. There is no way, really, for a centralized HR function to enjoy absolute, full command and control of every people-related nuance and idiosyncrasy at play at such a company’s many locations, let alone oversee everything from afar, back at headquarters. This should never be the goal anyway. Hardworking staff closest to the action always are in the best position to understand the day-to-day. This report explores an example. A large, dispersed company, Core-Mark International has long operated competitively as a decentralized organization. Even so, Core-Mark wanted greater centralization of HCM—not to exercise unnecessary control over the company’s many locations in North America (which were doing […]

theHRDIRECTOR – The HDPandemic Fallout and The Future of Work

Posted on by

Even as parts of the world return to a state resembling normal, the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic continues to unfold. Referring to this global event as “unprecedented” has become so commonplace as to be clichéd, and yet, the term hits the nail on the head. The unprecedented nature of this worldwide disaster renders its effects unpredictable, and as we march into the future, those effects continue to develop in ways we could only have guessed. Pandemic lockdowns had an immediate and marked effect on work. Who could or should go to work, where that work took place, how it was done—these work life fundamentals changed overnight for the majority of the population. Had lockdowns lasted only two weeks, as first predicted in those optimistic […]

3Sixty Insights #HRTechChat with Marc Havercroft, Chief Customer Officer for SAP SuccessFactors

Posted on by

For this, the latest episode of #HRTechChat, our guest is Marc Havercroft, global chief customer officer for SAP SuccessFactors. Marc and I had a conversation a couple weeks ago and were both struck by how much we have in common in terms of our views on HCM. We at 3Sixty Insights speak of abstract and concrete HCM, and how you need both. Marc shares a very intriguing rendition on this, equating the two to operational-related HCM and experience-related HCM — i.e., the employee experience. And we agree that whether it’s abstract and concrete or operational and experience, all of it comes to bear squarely and undeniably on employee sentiment. Our podcast together reiterates these points and continues in this vein. Ultimately, our discussion explores wide-ranging […]

Salesforce Further Infiltrates HCM with Acquisition of Slack

Posted on by

Enter a highly infectious virus. To slow its spread, institute widespread lock-down orders. In tandem, order office employees to work from home and staff usually in the field to embrace unfamiliar, hybrid onsite-offsite schedules. Mix in a healthy dose of confusion to accompany this massive disruption to the heretofore expected way of doing things. Before 2020, collaboration tech was already the functionality all the cool companies had. It has suddenly become the must-have for just about any company as we approach 2021. Most nooks and crannies of the business could use effective applications for collaboration right now. Employees, customers, partners, prospects and other stakeholders need efficient, effective means, stat, to communicate, cooperate and coordinate. But end-to-end systems for the entire enterprise or silos of it […]
