For organizations, opportunities for career growth and education are important to attract and retain workers as well as essential to address skill gaps. This emphasis on skills and learning has led to workers focusing on reskilling and upskilling. Traditionally, workers would need to return to a technical or trade school or university for more education; however, companies such as Skillsoft now offer a means to learn while working. With advances in e-learning, it is now possible for people to reskill and upskill at work to improve engagement and create their own career paths. Skillsoft markets itself as being designed to address the skills gap.
The past few years have seen major changes in how organizations try to attract new talent. Previously, organizations would place advertisements in a newspaper, but with the rise of the internet, businesses have more options than ever to reach candidates. Unfortunately, with so many job boards and advertising channels, qualified candidates might miss relevant ads. This has created an opportunity for vendors like Appcast to maximize data analytics and artificial intelligence for more effective recruitment marketing.

The workforce has gone through several major shifts in the past three years. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a transformation from working in an office to often hybrid or totally remote work. In what has been described as the Great Resignation, employees – often feeling unappreciated by their employers – resigned in droves. Organizations have taken several measures to deal with these challenges, including updating human capital management software.
It has been many years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects have continued to impact the workforce. And organizations have not only had to deal with changes to their location (on-site, hybrid or fully remote) but also with the changing landscape of the workforce. The Great Resignation has led to greater challenges within organizations in terms of retention and attracting the right talent. Organizations facing this litany of new dilemmas can benefit from HCM software to address these challenges.
Even when all workers are based in the same location under the same legal codes, local payroll can be complicated. When you consider the added complications of different states or even countries, the idea of global payroll can seem very complicated, as discussed in a recent perspective.

The necessity to empower people within an organization to be most effective and highly impactful is no easy task and is central to what business and HR leaders seek to enable. At the core of this mission is understanding the motivations of individuals who are eager to gain new skills that help their career growth while also supporting their current expected performance. Managing and motivating skills development require content and learning methods that align to the role and responsibility of the individual. Necessary steps in talent management include moving beyond a traditional learning management system (LMS) approach and creating learning experiences that are assembled from existing and new content, as well as from third-party providers, and are aligned to the individual’s needs.

Whether changing companies or career paths, working professionals are switching jobs more than ever before. Uncertainty, lack of opportunity and volatility play a role in this churn. Today’s workers often feel more like replaceable cogs in a machine than team members with career advancement potential. Job security also suffers in the face of market swings and volatile black swan events. Employee retention is a challenge in the best of times, but the labor shift that escalated with the pandemic prompted workers to reassess their relationships – not only with their employer but their career, leading many to leave positions that organizations have struggled to fill.
Historically, a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy has obscured pay gaps and hindered the transparency of workplace wages. In today’s tight labor market, workers have choices in where they work, and are demanding equal pay for equal work. The goal of pay equity is to create workplaces that inspire loyalty, enthusiasm and trust by establishing an environment of transparency and equitable opportunity, ensuring fairness. The challenge for organizations is determining how to properly conduct bias-free pay equity analysis, including finding the right technology and identifying someone in HR to oversee pay equity on an ongoing basis.
The practical advancement of artificial intelligence is being realized by embedding it into applications across human capital management processes. Using AI to generate personalization enables workflows for managers to make quicker and better decisions, ranging from talent acquisition to engaging candidates to become more effective workers. The challenge for organizations is to find applications that use AI to support daily tasks of workers and HR teams, advancing the talent of the organization. Aside from finding the right software, organizations must also identify technology vendors that are equipped to properly train users for successful adoption. Companies like Phenom not only use AI for optimizing talent experiences to hire, develop and retain people into the workforce, but employ AI to change how talent is empowered to be talent.

While total compensation is not an area that can be handled by a one-size-fits-all solution, many companies lack dedicated compensation software. According to Ventana Research, many HR departments are not equipped to manage sophisticated programs that extend beyond the annual review process. Even among HR departments that do acknowledge the importance of total compensation management (TCM), many rely on outdated systems such as spreadsheets. The use of spreadsheets rather than dedicated compensation management software is a mistake though, considering only 15% of organizations that rely on spreadsheets can report that they do have errors. In the current environment, it is critical that organizations attract and retain productive members of the workforce. A key component of retention and recruitment is ensuring that appropriate compensation exists so employees feel like they are valued by the organization. One organization that is trying to address this issue by creating dedicated TCM software is beqom.

A productive and engaged workforce is fundamental to many successful enterprises/organizations. But the pandemic has created unique challenges to “business as usual” and has transformed the employee experience across nearly all aspects. This transformation is an opportunity for organizations to reinvent their workplace, especially in consideration of remote personnel who may be spread across all regions of the globe but still need to feel connected and work efficiently. One key to providing a positive and meaningful workplace environment is supporting high-value interactions between employee and employer. These can be seen across organizations’ workflows, for example, by enabling a unified and personalized employee experience using intelligent workflows for complex processes like onboarding, training, coaching and the employee lifecycle. Ventana Research has asserted by 2024, personalization capabilities in HCM systems will allow three-quarters of organizations to benefit from recommendations that make the employee experience more meaningful, satisfying and productive.

Talent management is a priority as organizations continue to face multiple disruptions because of the pandemic and business continuity issues related to the workforce. It has never been more important to get leaders up to speed and help them acquire the knowledge necessary for the organization to remain competitive and keep the workforce both compliant and engaged. Most talent management efforts are more functional rather than focused on the processes that ensure the desired engaged and skilled workforce. Yet, many organizations fail to realize that it’s the experience in learning that matters most, as articulated in our perspective on how to build organizational readiness. Increasing engagement for learning across the workforce is important to ensure effective skills and talent in the organization.

Total Compensation Management (TCM) is a strategic HCM area focused on the processes, data, analytics and technology capabilities needed to achieve an integrated and holistic approach to rewarding employees for their value and contributions. One aspect of TCM is pay equity which, simply defined, means pay comparability and fairness and a lack of bias. It is an organization’s ability to determine what jobs require comparable skill, effort and responsibility while relating that to market pay rates and trends. While most mid- and senior-level managers are keenly aware of the legislative considerations around equal pay, many continue to have a narrow, if not incorrect, view of pay equity and why it also warrants serious attention. Pay equity does not just relate to compensating appropriately and without race or gender bias for similarly valued jobs and job duties. It also encompasses the notion of comparable opportunities being afforded to earn better compensation and derive job satisfaction. This involves the perception of fairness in the broader context of the employee experience, one of the four pillars of a superior employee experience.

Business improvement stems from technology investments that advance automation and apply intelligence to your work and processes, increasing the potential achievement of desired outcomes. Assessing vendors and utilizing technology for optimization and innovation is the foundation for digital transformation, and our chief research officer asserts that by 2025, over one-half of organizations will determine that the chaos of digital technology usage requires a rationalization of vendors to ensure operational excellence.

Performance management helps organizations understand, optimize and align performance through a variety of methods and processes and is an essential part of what is called digital business. For many organizations, engaging employees through a series of check-ups, goal tracking and kudos to encourage and motivate them helps ensure that expected people and operational performance is realized. But in a changing world and workplace culture where workers prioritize mental health and organizations view working from home as a positive change, vendors of performance management applications must provide tools that help leadership adapt.

Business continuity — especially during a pandemic, natural disaster, cyber event or geopolitical situation — requires business and risk mitigation processes. Unfortunately, few organizations are prepared to respond appropriately. Whether an organization rises to the challenge or descends into survival mode is determined by the way it meets the expectations of the workforce, customers, stakeholders and potentially shareholders.
