HR.com Press Releases

When it comes to employer branding and Human Resources (HR) recruitment advertising, many companies are struggling to hire and retain top talent without an effective brand awareness. A new state-of-the-industry report, “The State of Employer Branding and Recruitment Advertising 2019: Build the best possible employer brand and get the most out of recruitment advertising campaigns,” from the HR Research Institute reveals that most organizations still lack a well-known employer brand.  This lack of attention to building brand awareness is an issue that affects crucial HR responsibilities such as the ability to attract quality job candidates and engage current employees.

Results show that only about one-third (35%) of HR professionals report their organizations currently have a well-known and intentionally created employer brand. Furthermore, only half of those people reveal that their brand does a good or excellent job at attracting quality candidates.

Fully 80% of HR professionals see barriers to the creation of a successful employer brand.  A lack of interest from leadership tends to be the biggest barrier to cultivating an effective employer brand, and a lack of financial resources is the next most substantial barrier.

“The job of recruiters today is challenging enough considering the intense competition for talent.  HR departments are spending too much time spinning their wheels and bleeding money if they can’t attract candidates and keep their employees happy,” stated Debbie McGrath, Chief Instigator and CEO of HR.com. “Companies really need to invest in building a consistent image and messaging for their brand and managing the measure of that.”

Organizations with excellent employer brands have advantages in various areas, including with job advertising. “Well-branded” organizations are three times more likely than “less-branded” organizations to rate the return on investment (ROI) of job advertisements as excellent or good.

Most Human Resources (HR) professionals believe that HR and management play a key role in employee safety. Despite this, many are concerned that their workplaces still remain vulnerable to threats.

HR.com’s HR Research Institute partnered with Paycom (a leading provider of human capital management technology) to conduct a research study of HR professionals to produce the latest report entitled “Keeping the Workplace Safe from Threats: Maintain awareness with plans and accountability.”  The study reveals that there is a significant gap in perception between different groups of people regarding what actually constitutes a workplace threat.  The phrase ‘workplace threat’ itself, is interpreted differently by different people.

The report examines how HR can help the workforce plan for, assess and react to threats such as assaults, harassment and more, while addressing several questions, including the role that HR should play in addressing workplace threats and how these threats can be further mitigated.  

By incorporating a level of basic awareness about possible warning signs, HR will have an enhanced understanding of worrying issues before they escalate into more serious problems.

The research results will be presented in a complimentary webcast on HR.com:

“Safety in the workplace is not a concern that employees should have to stress about on a day-to-day basis,” states Debbie McGrath, Chief Instigator and CEO of HR.com.  “It’s up to management and HR departments to create a level of basic awareness and understanding about possible warning signs so there will be less chance of issues escalating into serious problems.”

Strong Diversity and Inclusion Workplace Cultures Are Still Not the Norm Today - according to new study by HR.com’s Research Institute.

When it comes to Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) in the workplace, far more companies are talking the talk rather than walking the walk.  A new state-of-the-industry report, “The State of Diversity and Inclusion 2018/2019,” from the HR Research Institute reveals that although HR professionals agree that D&I is critical to organizational success, most organizations are still under-performing in this key area.

Results shows that most organizations currently have narrow definitions of D&I, are in the early stages of developing programs, and are unsure about how effective their D&I programs really are overall.  Diversity and Inclusion programs today are largely immature or in development mode with only 20% of HR professionals indicating their D&I practices are in a mature stage of progress.  Only about half say their workforces reflect the demographics of the marketplace.

“It’s disheartening in this day and age to see such a big gap between where companies are and where they should be.   It starts at the top and employers will have to dig deep to understand the real reasons that their Diversity and Inclusion practices are not working if they want their employees and their business to succeed,” said Debbie McGrath, Chief Instigator and CEO of HR.com.

The study compared high and lower performers in terms of their management of Diversity and Inclusion.  The most commonly cited barriers to effective D&I are a lack of budget (43%) and a lack prioritization by top leadership levels (41%).  High performers experience fewer barriers overall, and they are more likely to get support from the top, understand the potential benefits of diversity, communicate them well, and conduct training across the organization.

Companies have a better chance at achieving effective D&I initiatives if they are supported by senior leaders.  Results highlight the fact that high performers are more likely than lower performers to make “everyone” or a C-level executive responsible for D&I rather than just leave it up to the HR department.

The survey, “The State of Diversity and Inclusion 2018/2019,” was fielded in April/May and then again in October/November 2018.  There were responses from 586 participating HR professionals representing a broad cross-section of employers.

Although video interviewing has become more routine in today’s workplace, dedicated interviewing platforms remain uncommon and continue to evolve at a rapid pace.  

According to a new research report, The State of Video and Interviewing Platforms 2019, by the HR Research Institute, just over half (52%) of organizations use some form of video interviewing in the employee recruitment process.  Among larger firms (1,000 or more employees), the proportion rises to 62%. Among small firms (with less than 100 employees), the proportion is just 36%.

The study indicates that companies derive benefits from video interviewing, but higher value is gained from more sophisticated dedicated interviewing systems. Such systems allow for the easy recording of real-time video interviews as well as asynchronous interviews, and they’re sometimes integrated with other administrative or assessment tools. Only about half of HR professionals say their video interviewing technology is good or excellent. However, almost 80% of companies with dedicated interviewing platforms rate them as good or excellent.

In some cases, video is just one part of an interviewing platform that supports the talent acquisition process. The two components that HR most commonly predicts will become important in dedicated interviewing platforms over the next few years are assessments (55%) and the ability to integrate with other HR systems (52%).

“The HR industry knows interviewing platforms are here to stay,” stated Debbie McGrath, Chief Instigator and CEO of HR.com.  “The best platforms provide too many competitive advantages to just disappear.  But I think we will see a lot of expansion in the power of these platforms in coming years, and there will be greater integration with other systems as well.”

RESEARCH REPORT AND INFOGRAPHIC ARE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD:  https://web.hr.com/oaoo

The survey, The State of Video and Interviewing Platforms, collected responses in the fourth quarter of 2018. There were responses from 526 participating HR professionals representing a broad cross-section of employers.

Human Resources (HR) professionals are becoming more knowledgeable about how to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance HR, according to exclusive new state of the industry research by HR.com. Although it still has a long way to go, the HR profession has made progress over the last year. Moreover, the research indicates HR professionals expect a dramatic increase in the usage of AI for HR over the next five years.

Now available for download, the HR.com research report, The Current and Future State of AI in HR, is based on responses from 626 HR professionals participating in a survey fielded in August and September 2018. This is the second annual HR.com survey on the topic of AI in HR.

Most HR professionals still have much to learn about using AI for the purpose of enhancing the HR function, but the proportion who agree that they are knowledgeable in this area jumped from 36% to 43%. This year, more agree rather than disagree that they are knowledgeable about AI, a contrast to the 2017 data.

In 2018, 10% of HR professionals are already using AI for HR purposes to a high or very high degree in their organizations. Nearly half (46%) predict that their HR departments will be using AI to a high or very degree by 2023. And, among those who are already knowledgeable about AI, the percentage is 65%.
 
For the second year in a row, HR professionals agree that AI has the greatest potential to improve HR in the area of analytics (82%), followed by talent acquisition, learning and development, time and attendance, and performance management. Fully three-quarters (76%) of all HR professionals indicate that using AI in the area of HR analytics and metrics will be important by 2023.

AI will also have an impact on the workforce outside the HR function. More HR professionals (26%) anticipate AI will cause a net loss in jobs, compared to only 19% who expect net job gains. However, most (55%) anticipate there will be no significant losses or gains.

The study asked a series of questions about the use of AI in the area of learning and development (L&D). It was found that 83% agree that adding AI capabilities to e-learning systems will improve L&D effectiveness. And 82% believe that the combination of AI and augmented reality devices will improve on-the-job training.

The research also found that, generally speaking, HR professionals still have some conflicted feelings about the power of AI, but they are becoming more comfortable with it. Respondents were asked how they would feel about AI software that tracks employees, analyzes those activities, and then regularly reports back to their supervisors with a summary and recommendations. Few love or detest the idea outright, but more HR professionals like, rather than dislike, the idea. In 2017, more respondents disliked the idea rather than liked it.

Only 20% agreed at all.  Yet, organizations that enjoy strong leadership tend to have stronger bottom lines. HR.com’s survey on leadership development found that well-led organizations are more than twice as likely to report financial performance that is far above average.

LEAD2019 will offer a full day of programming focusing on leadership development on March 5th, as well as, the LEAD Awards ceremony celebrating the top Leadership Development Programs globally. The awards nomination process is open to all organizations on Tuesday, January 15th.

Today's HR departments suffer from seven major blindspots, according to a recently released research report, HR Blindspot Report 2018. By understanding and addressing these blindspots, HR professionals can maximize their ability to achieve crucial organizational goals.
 
The study is based on a survey fielded from May 18 to June 17, 2018 by HR.com and Ipsos on behalf of League, the leading digital benefits platform for the modern workforce. The goal of the study was to uncover the blindspots that can keep HR leaders from reaching their objectives. Results are based on analysis of online survey responses from 538 U.S. HR professionals as well as online panel interviews from a sample of 289 employees of U.S companies.

The research uncovered the following seven blindspots:

1. An HR identity crisis that springs from conflicting perceptions of HR's role
2. Difficulties in winning needed executive support
3. Insufficient communications with employees
4. Failures to understand employee work-life balance concerns
5. The employee desire to cope with stress in less conventional ways
6. The yearning for more personalized compensation packages
7. The true, rather than perceived, loyalty levels of employees

HR’s identity crisis is not only important in itself, it tends to impact other key blindspots. At the heart of this problem is the fact that while HR professionals are most likely to view themselves in the role of Strategist, employees are most likely to view them as Regulators. That is, employees tend to see HR professionals as either administrators or enforcers of rules.

As the research reveals, when employees see HR professionals as Regulators, they are more likely to fear HR and less likely to see HR professionals as effective. If HR professionals do not understand how others view them, then they cannot communicate and build credibility with employees or senior managers as well as they should.  

“HR pros are so busy these days that it’s easy for them to lose sight of how employees and senior managers view them. But now that this report is calling the various HR blindspots, it should be easier for HR professionals to visualize and react to these challenges. In the end, that can help everyone, HR and employees alike,” stated Debbie McGrath, Chief Instigator and CEO of HR.com.

If HR professionals can address its blindspots, they can gain a better understanding of a range of key issues, such as employees communications, compensation and even engagement. For example, the study found that HR often misunderstands the work stresses faced by employees and so is less able to address stress-related performance issues. By gaining a greater appreciation for employees’ desires, needs and challenges, HR is better able to create effective HR policies and cultivate engaging corporate cultures.

“Just like when you’re driving,” the report concludes, “it’s often the obstacles hiding in your organization’s blindspots that can do the most damage. Fortunately, by taking a proactive approach, HR teams can steer their organizations to success by turning these blindspots into competitive advantages.”

The work processes in most of today’s Human Resources (HR) departments are still primarily manual, according to a new report released by HR.com in partnership with Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM), the global leader in storage and information management services. Most HR professionals believe, however, that greater automation will help their HR departments become more strategic and productive.
 
The two newly released research reports, The State of HR Automation in Large Organizations and The State of HR Automation in Mid-Sized Organizations, are based on two industry surveys by HR.com.
 
“Despite all the innovative HR technologies on the market these days, most HR functions remain surprisingly manual,” said Debbie McGrath, Chief Instigator and CEO of HR.com. “Large organizations tend to be a little more automated than mid-sized ones, but both have a long way to go. The good news is that virtually all HR departments plan to become more automated. This trend could help them become not just more efficient but more effective.”
 
Among large organizations, only 37% of HR departments can be considered “highly automated,” and among mid-sized organizations the proportion is just 33%. Nearly all HR professionals in both groups said, however, their companies intend to automate more HR processes in the future.
 
The research also indicates that HR automation can result in a variety of advantages. In both sizes of organization, most HR professionals plan to spend more time on strategic HR and business initiatives if it reduces the burden of performing manual administrative tasks. In large organizations, for example, 70% intend to spend more time on strategic planning and 64% on serving as business partners.
 
The study also suggests that more highly automated HR departments are already reaping dividends. Highly automated HR departments are twice as likely as the least automated HR departments to report above average HR productivity.
 
The two surveys generated responses from 397 and 244 HR professionals, respectively. Large organizations were defined as those with 2,500 or more employees, and mid-sized organizations were defined as having between between 500 and 2,499 employees.
