As I write Cliff’s Corner?, there has been a lot of news impacting HR this month, and although it hasn’t all been positive, it gives us the opportunity to reflect on what is most important in our jobs and how we can have the biggest impact.
This month, I want to point out two different capabilities of HR Tech and how they are deeply ingrained (or should be) in how we handle extremely important decisions like large layoffs. One is People Data and Analytics.
In our last survey, we saw that only 60% of Enterprise organizations are using a data analytics module in their core HRMS platform, which raises the question for the other 40% - what data are you using to make such impactful decisions? Although there are always discussions following layoffs about whether it was the right business decision, those are purely speculation unless you can access and use deep people and business data to inform and carry out that decision.
Another consideration often overlooked during large layoffs is the employees who remain. They will be affected by larger, or at least changing, workloads and, of course, will be emotionally impacted by the event. This is where Rewards and Recognition come in, as they play a pivotal role in helping to bring visibility to these oft-forgotten employees and remind them of their value to the organization.
Although we at Sapient Insights Group had no way to predict specific layoffs, we well understood the increased importance that Rewards and Recognition software would play in 2024/2025. For that reason, we have greatly increased its prominence in this year’s survey and upcoming report.
Finally, speaking of both recognition and that report, I want to thank each one of you who participated this year. Although I can’t give you an exact number (yet), I can safely say that this year saw the greatest number of respondents we have ever seen, and all that success is completely on you. So, thank you again from every one of us on the Sapient team. Perhaps the corner is for celebration after all! ??? Cliff
