HRMS Comparison Tool
I went through an HRMS comparison tool on-line with some pretty interesting results. Just thought I’d let you all know it’s out there. The tool walks you through a number of questions (size, # of users, required modules like ESS, performance, locations, etc.) and spits out a list of matechs. It also shows non-matches and…

Shrinking Workforce is Good for Technology Revisited
Last week I posted Shrinking Workforce is Good for Technology and got a couple interesting comments. I thought this interesting enough to bring back to the foreground.

Shrinking Workforce is Good for Technology
We’ve been talking about the workforce “crisis” and the drian of senior talent as baby boomers retire in droves. I thought I’d present another viewpoint – this one from the Economist.

HRO Superstars
Through Hager Strategic I found HRO Today’s listing of 2006 HRO Superstars. Really quite a nice list of who’s who in HRO from a vendor and client standpoint. It also includes a list of advisors and advisory firms that I don’t generally talk about. Take a look.
