The Gift of Independence for Your Employees

July 3, 2018 Do you ever read HR blogs? Most of HR blogs will tell you that HR doesn’t really know what they are doing, and are, generally, untrusted by employees and leaders everywhere. Do you ever read message boards or groups that ask employment questions? Most of them will also tell you that HR doesn’t really know what they are doing, and are generally untrusted by employees and leaders everywhere. Do you ever read about companies that don’t have HR? Didn’t think so. So how do we bridge this divide? How do we service employees' needs, give them the answers they are looking for, but not expose them to the HR team they are trying to avoid? How do we make them feel that they are not only valued, but are being considered as we develop our company infrastructure? The answer,…

How HR Case Management Works

June 26, 2018 The use of an HR Case Management system ensures that all HR interactions with employees are reported and tracked, that responses from HR or Management are consistent and timely, that legal and regulatory compliance are considered and adhered to, with records securely housed in a single location easily accessible by appointed administrators. What is HR Case Management? If we consider Customer Service, case management tracks interactions with customers, ensuring the purchasing and product acquisition experience is the best. If addressing case management in healthcare, this would be tracking of the life cycle of a patient and their every interaction with a healthcare provider or healthcare facility/system. HR Case Management is similar: reporting and tracking of every employee interaction with HR, which allows HR and Executive Management to understand the full employee experience with the employer. HR Data collected using Case…

Does Your Employee Experience Match Your Employer Brand?

November 1, 2017 Is HR Broken? What do you think? I've heard and read it often that HR is, indeed, broken. Human Resources and Talent Management are supposed to assist employees (ranging from high-ranking executives to the newest and most subordinate player) in their experience at work, making it better. HR should, most definitely, listen to and be responsive to every employee on payroll. Human Resource Professionals have fought for years to get a seat at the table. But, what exactly does that mean? We should be tired of the excuses given for why bad employment experiences exist. If employees are taken care of, basic needs met, if they are heard, if managers are doing their jobs? Perhaps lawsuits and attrition would drop and those tremendous employer branding efforts would be a little less necessary. Do Employees have a Voice? It may be…

April 12, 2017 HR in Higher Ed Facing unique financial pressures, colleges and universities must have HR departments that operate efficiently and at a high level. They must move past basic administrative roles and become a major organizational influence.

What are the Key Challenges? Budget - HR budgets in higher education have tended to be 50 - 75 % lower than those found in other industries, according to a study by Aon.
