2005 HRO Trends and Insights

There was no way I was paying over $2000 for this survey, but the high level key findings were readable. If you’re curious about a specific industry, then this might be for you. There were a couple of key findings…

Leaves Administration and Absence Management
.
I was reading the July/August copy of newsbriefs from ISCEBS and noticed a survey on absence management. The results stated (could not find a web link to this) that only 12% of companies track the cost of absenteeism and an…

Hewitt BPO leads the industry?
.
While Hewitt clearly has the biggest name and the most large clients right now, I’m not so sure if they are the clear leaders as this Hewitt press release indicates. Let’s face it, Hewitt doesn’t seem to be making a…

Workday.com = Salesforce.com?
.
Post edited on November 01, 2005. Workday.com actually contacted me about some inaccuracies in my original post. I recently wrote about Dave Duffield and how he intends to bring workday.com to the market in the same style that salesforce.com’s CRM…

Arinso Service Center diagram

Arinso has a very nice whitepaper on service centers. They segregate the strategy and the service center organizations in a very nice visual. I just thought this was a very shareable pictoral. Here it is…

IBM HR Transformation for HRO
.
I have written about this before, but IBM has put out a nice white paper on how an organization should prepare for HRO and how to set pre/post implementation expectations. http://www-1.ibm.com/services/us/bcs/pdf/ge510-4016-hr-bto-risk-strategies.pdf This is certainly not new news, but it’s possibly…

Work Life balance and the next generation
.
Business Week had this article about work life balance. While it’s not in my general realm of technology, I think it has some loose lessons in terms of learning and the capabilities of the next generation. The collaborative nature and…

SoftScape gets thumbs up from Gartner

Having gotten some (light) criticism in the past about not including SoftScape in my talent management roundup, here’s some good thoughts on them: http://www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/2005/sep/1180540.htm “Softscape, an industry leader in strategic people management technology and services, today announced that Softscape received…

2006 Technoloy Outlook

HR.com has a new HR Technology Outlook for 2006. As usual, I don’t completely agree with their outlook. My responses in blue. It’s an interesting article though. 1. HR technology software applications will continue to increase in functionality. Applications must…

And Kenexa too
.
This is more of a surprise than Authoria (last post before this). Kenexa was voted the top RPO. While I’m not sure who the competition was, I’m betting it includes the likes of Brassring and Recruitmax. Kenexa has not (to…

Authoria is Kicking Some A$$!!!

I’ve written a lot about talent management suites and vendors in the past. However, Authoria has grown over the last few years from being the leader in knowledgebase applications to being a clear leader in overall talent management. With a…

Talent Acquisition Metrics

Here’s a PDF from Webhire. I found it interesting that manual recruiting processes and automated TAS were not significantly more different in the type and quality of the metrics they provide. In all honesty, I don’t think that this survey…

One of the things that bothers be about blogspot.com is that I can’t have comments automatically showing up on the board – you have to click comments to see them. Most of the time, comments are innocuous enough, but sometimes…

Oracle Fusion, and future PeopleSoft functionality

Oracle Fusion has been a pretty good mystery for me. I have not heard much concrete information until lately. While I can’t tell you where this information came from (other than it’s not from within the organization I work for),…

Convergys expands BPO offering beyond HRO
.
No, I haven’t died, quit, or just gone away. I’ve been in the middle of parallel tests for a client and that has been an all consuming task. This also means that I haven’t been doing the normal market research…
