Fun with Filters! Addressing an HR Challenge

September 1, 2015 The Challenges HR Practitioners Face One of the greatest challenges I faced in my time working as an HR Practitioner was making sure I gave the right information when answering an employee's question. I've never worked with any company that had the same answer for every employee, especially when dealing with things like benefits, compensation, or vacation policy. And the challenges for a global company are even greater, especially when policies are all in English ("Because that's the standard!") but your employees only speak French. Answering a question is easy. Figuring out how to find the right answer in a language specific employees speak and understand can be maddening. What to Do? Enter our filtering feature for knowledge. The Dovetail Employee Engagement Suite allows your system admin to set up and apply filters to your knowledge, making sure to show the right information…

Dovetail Launches Certified Workday Integration to Assist HR in Tracking Daily Activities

August 23, 2015 Celebrate! We’re celebrating today, because we are officially a Workday Certified Solution Partner – yes we graduated from the hottest HCM integration university this summer! Commitment Pays Off Two years ago, Dovetail made a commitment with Workday to design, build, and deliver a real time bi-directional integration to help serve the Dovetail and Workday ecosystem, cohesively. It’s a true win-win outcome for both vendor and customers - as anyone with software implementation experience will tell you - getting two technologies integrated together on a project is never easy. One very big pain with custom integrations is accountability – when things go wrong, who is accountable? Is it your internal IT, or perhaps vendor one or vendor two – maybe it’s all three? Which one will own the problem and drive through to resolution, and not just point fingers? Continued Commitment With a…

The HCM Buying Process – Vendor Selection Strategy

July 20, 2015 Recently, I wrote about the Sierra-Cedar HR Systems Survey, and how that survey helped me to get multi-million dollar funding for new HCM technology. While I was writing that entry, it made me think of the next step of the HCM buying process: vendor selection. In one of my previous roles, I was tasked with evaluating the current technology in place, then providing strategic direction of what to do with our existing HR technology - and how it would benefit our to-be designed HR Shared Services organization. Once I could prove the most cost-effective long-term strategy for the firm was a rip-and-replace of old for new, I then set my focus on building out our requirements and the vendor selection strategy. I’ve never been a fan of large RFPs that basically allow the vendor to tick boxes,…

SHRM Poetry and Building Tradition

June 25, 2015 A Little History Three years ago, I was goaded into playing street hockey in Atlanta in the middle of summer. Two years ago, Jonathan Brewer and I put together one of the greatest kickball games HR has ever seen. Last year, we celebrated The Big Lebowski in a Orlando bowling alley. All of there were great fun, and were done in the spirit of changing the world. And in the process we’ve raised a significant amount of money for those who need a little help. And many of you have come along for the ride. Today This year, we are going in a slightly different direction. At the SHRM Annual Conference next week, we will be hosting a Poetry Slam, and are partnering with Quantum Workplace, Broadbean, Dice and Branded Strategies in our support for No Kid Hungry. Dice is…

Childhood Hunger in America

June 23, 2015 No Kid Hungry Would you be surprised to know that there are hungry children in America? Especially right now – the summer months are very hard for children who no longer receive supplemental meals from their schools. Dovetail Software is responding to this knowledge by, once again, raising awareness and hosting an event at the SHRM 15 National Conference June 28 – July 1 in Las Vegas. Joining us in this effort are our fellow event sponsors Quantum Workplace, Broadbean Technology, and Branded Strategies. Our #SHRMpoetry campaign launched last week and is gaining attention as more and more in the HR industry become aware of childhood hunger in America; 1 in 5 children do not receive the nutrition they need on a daily basis. We want to help. Please join us in our fight to end childhood hunger in America…

A Change Would Do You Good

February 26, 2015 A Change Would Do You Good How many times in the last few years (be honest) have you been involved in an HR project to identify something…a process, a model, a technology, a strategy to improve overall performance? How many times has that project been put on hold due to funding, resources, lack of leadership backing, or something else? And how many times has the broken inefficient process just continued? Does it all stem from a poorly supported or drafted business plan? In truth there are a hundred reasons why a project doesn’t come to fruition. But one stands above them all. A change would do you good, yet your business won’t successfully change or evolve when the PROCESS continues to be broken. What do I mean and what I think is the root of the problem? Resistance, the in…

HR Carnival – Truths Around the World

I'm always excited to see the HR Carnival roll into the Dovetail station. As always, we bring you a look at some of the best blogs in space over the last few weeks.

5 Reasons You Need HR Case Management Solution

December 16, 2014 There are potentially hundreds of reasons your company needs an HR Case Management (HCM) or HR Help Desk software solution. I’m going to briefly point out the five most obvious which will likely keep you up nights trying to figure out how you’re going to get this project added to your short-term list of Top HR Initiatives. If you’re currently in an HR Shared Service model, you’re probably ahead of the curve and on your way toward putting in the backbone (technology) or you already have. Otherwise…here’s the down-and-dirty rationale on why you need an HCM technology solution. You’re being sued Are you currently facing litigation? If so, you clearly understand the stress of having to gather the supporting information to defend your side of the lawsuit. If the employee was fired for cause for instance, it would be helpful,…

Turning the Corner in HR

August 15, 2014 This week I had the privilege of sitting in as a guest on HR Happy Hour. (If you are interested, you can listen to the replay here.) The topic was Heartland HR, specifically trends we have seen in the last few weeks as I spoke at ILSHRM and MOSHRM. This happened in the same week I was working with teams in six different countries for one client while simultaneously preparing a trip that will take me to two different continents this weekend to work with another client. In between, I spoke with an HR leader who is building out their HR Shared Services function and trying to figure out how to put an HR case management system in place without causing any heartburn for the team. It's a lot of perspectives and a lot of issues from around the globe…
