According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the number one reason people leave their jobs is lack of appreciation. These figures speak to the challenge of talent retention and employee engagement, illustrating that a troubling percentage of employees who feel undervalued move on to what they hope will be greener pastures. But what of the productivity of those that remain? Discretionary effort is directly linked to feeling valued. If you believe that your efforts matter, then you will be less likely to leave and more likely to invest greater effort into your job each day. This whitepaper will discuss how social recognition brings to light the contributions and milestones of the employee and transmits the story across the corporate intranet. Recognition becomes a cultural asset, infusing the social intranet with stories of success and achievement. learn more

At most organizations, the workforce is both a significant expense and the most important asset. In order to manage the workforce appropriately — and in turn to serve the business as a strategic partner — HR needs to implement consistent, integrated, and flexible processes and systems. In effect, HR needs to implement best practices that are supported and facilitated by integrated, robust systems. This research will describe how, by establishing best practices that are supported with technology, HR will achieve greater efficiency (by reducing the burden of handling administrative tasks) while delivering strategic value (by equipping managers with the right information at the right time) to the organization. learn more

Not too long ago, the idea of “globalizing” was the exclusive concern of large companies with widespread operations. In today’s new world economy, everyone is looking to get into the global game, with countries like China, India and Brazil growing at two and three times the rate of established economies. Based on the remarkable findings of a worldwide survey of more than 1,000 executives, one of the key strategies for becoming a truly global player is suddenly clear: creating a global operating model supported by a foundation of integrated financial, human capital management (HCM) and other business applications. A decided majority of respondents—a whopping 89 percent—intends to increase application integration in 2011, with HCM a particular target. And no wonder: In the survey, a clear link was established between integrated applications and cost savings, in addition to a positive impact on net income benefit.This Research Report provides new insights, examples and research on how integrated financial and HCM applications are crucial if large and midsize companies are to emerge as truly global players. learn more

Identifying, competing for, and retaining key talent is a top priority for any HR executive. But too often, business strategy isn’t translated by HR into a holistic workforce plan for execution. Rather, planning is done in a fragmented way using data dumps, spreadsheets, and multiple systems from multiple countries. Relevant information gets pulled together manually with considerable effort and time – and the lack of consistency and automation can create chaos within the workforce sourcing process. In the end, you may end up overpaying in an effort to fill key vacancies quickly or run the risk that key positions cannot be filled at all. This research brief will look into depths on securing the right talent for future success. learn more
