Here’s Why You Don’t Hire Based on Traditional Roles

Posted: 08/10/2022 - 09:00
The labor market is changing, with candidates interviewing potential companies as much as they’re being interviewed themselves.

At the height of the pandemic, over 120,000 businesses temporarily closed, leaving over 30 million U.S. workers unemployed. Job openings have steadily increased since.

In 2021, employers added an unprecedented 3.8 million jobs, but millions of Americans left the labor force. Now, we have more than two million fewer Americans participating in the labor force than in 2020.

Digital Transformation of Contingent Labor

The way we work had changed long before the Covid-19 crisis. And with the recent pandemic, the way work gets done might be changed forever, permanently.

The role of the external workforce or the contract workforce was instrumental for organizations to thrive in the digital era. The recent shift in workforce trends as a result of the pandemic has further strengthened the case for a flexible and robust external workforce to succeed during the testing times.

Absence Intelligence: The New AI in HR

AI in HR

Just about every company monitors when its staff is absent, whether on a planned holiday or sick, and has a policy for how much leave its employees are entitled to. However, very few go any deeper than this. Absence is observed, but most companies do not see the implications of certain trends or ensure compliance across a global workforce, much less take any proactive steps to help their staff on absence-related issues.

Imagining Resilience

Posted: 06/26/2019 - 03:19
Having resilience is an important business skill—it allows us to bounce back quickly from situations that are tough, or even traumatic. We develop coping mechanisms and resilience over time by learning from experiences that may feel threatening until we face and overcome them. Just as the novice kayaker is intimidated by white water, over time he learns how to tackle rapids that once scared him. 
 

Changes to Salaried Employees in New York and California

Posted: 12/19/2018 - 02:08
In 2017, the Department of Labor (DOL) scrapped U.S.-wide plans to increase the salary threshold for exempt employees following challenges from multiple states. The DOL has continued to postpone these plans, however, the states of California and New York have elected to raise their own exempt salary threshold for 2019, which means that some of your workers may be eligible for overtime pay. 
 
The changes, which go into effect on December 31, 2018, in New York and on January 1, 2019, in California, are as follows:

The job market is booming – the number of open jobs exceeds the number of Americans who are unemployed. In October, the U.S. Department of Labor reported job growth of 250,000, locking in a 3.7 percent unemployment rate – the lowest since 1969. Due to America’s growing economy, thousands of companies across the country are prospering and looking for strong talent.

Lose the Bucket and Turn on the Taps: The Rise of Translation as a Service

Posted: 11/15/2018 - 23:10
I like to think about translation like access to fresh water. Not so long ago — and still in many parts of the world — getting water was hard. You’d get up first thing in the morning, get a bucket, walk (sometimes for miles) and then come back and do it again.
 
But then it became easier thanks to technology. 
 

Nearshoring Across the Irish Sea

Posted: 08/11/2018 - 00:33
As the war for talent and skills dominates the working world, Ireland’s position as a multilingual hub within the Eurozone is proving very attractive for UK organisations that are looking to outsource their services closer to home. In advance of Britain’s exit from the European Union, companies have looked to their neighbour to help provide their services across Europe and further afield.
 

The 5 Advantages of Outsourcing for Effective Global Payroll

Posted: 08/03/2018 - 04:55
The world is more global and digitalised than ever before. As organisations expand globally, business leaders must consider the logistics of payroll and the changes that will need to take place—including mobility, flexibility and the use of technology. Expanding internationally can bring various challenges to HR and payroll departments, as each region has tailored laws and regulations regarding payroll, and there is a large difference between the amount of technology employees use in their personal lives and their work lives. 
 

A Hypocrite by any Other Name: Why Older People Should Stop Dissing Millennial Workers

Posted: 07/27/2018 - 23:57
The millennial workforce don't live up to their poor reputation.

 

It’s always struck me as a somewhat interesting paradox that despite the fact that age, like race or gender, is a “protected class” when it comes to workplace discrimination, we continue to talk about “millennials” in offensive ways that are a blatent compliance violation.

Teaching - and Talking to Robots: The Benefits of Cognitive-Enabled RPA

Posted: 03/02/2018 - 01:04

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tools are being widely adopted across a wide range of enterprises and industries. By executing narrowly defined, repeatable tasks, RPA bots can drive dramatic productivity increases and significant cost reductions. For as little as $10,000 to $15,000 a year to deploy and maintain, a single bot can perform the routine, administrative tasks of five to ten people.
