Editor’s Note

Too many organizations fail to recognize the holistic nature of these complex HCM deployments and the practical process considerations connected to a new system.

 

To implement a new HCM system requires more than just thorough and detailed scrutiny of system level considerations. A new system will mean a new way of doing things in terms of non-system activities—meaning the daily tasks of employees.

These process considerations along with internal system activities will be the platform for your organization’s HR transformation.

Check out this month's cover article, Key Processes And Technology Connection Points For HCM Projects by Paul Rose, where the author lists down a few recommendations that should assist companies in planning for this large-scale change program that ensures employees will be ready to maximize the software investment.

HR teams then must put an operational plan together to make sure the lowest level scheduling managers are aware and considering layers of regulation when scheduling.

In his article, The Layer Cake Of Labor Regulations You Need To Know, Derek Jones covers a few important labor regulations that businesses, both large and small, should be aware of.

Moving on there is Phanindranath Kakarla's HR Metamorphosis In Digital Disruption Era where he talks about how the rising adoption of technology is opening up new possibilities for more data science/ analytics.
