  • HRO Today CEO’s Letter: Workforce Management in the Era of Psycho-lation

    – By Elliot H. Clark

    OK, I am stir-crazy—as I am sure are many of you—and it is only day four of working from home as I write this. Humans are social creatures and our ability to team with others is a cornerstone of our evolution into becoming Earth’s dominant species. Of course, there are times when people don’t get along well, and the answer for that is an HR department.

    By Karen Crone

    What challenges do leaders face and what steps are they taking to best position their organizations for success? These are the questions a recent survey from Paycor was looking to answer when it asked leaders of U.S.-based small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), or those with less than 1,000 employees, to share their thoughts about the present and future of HR. While the feedback from the front lines confirmed and amplified the findings of other researchers, several new and telling details have emerged.

  • Hiring in the Face of Uncertainty

    – Hong Kong’s unstable economy is creating significant concern in the job market—but not every sector is impacted.

    By Michael Switow

    More than six months after millions of Hong Kongers first took to the streets in opposition to an extradition bill that would have blurred the lines of the political and legal system that has defined the city since its return to China 22 years ago, the protests continue and repercussions ripple through the territory.

  • Technology and the Employee Experience

    – With Barry Morris, CEO, CapRelo

    HRO Today: In recent blog posts you’ve discussed the importance of Employee Experience (EX). Why now?

    Morris: With the battle over talent being more critical, EX is a crucial driver of HR value. Onboarding new employees is expensive while keeping existing employees is more cost effective. I have found that many global mobility groups see EX as a critical indicator of the ability to attract and retain top talent.

  • Recognition: Understanding the Financial Models

    With Jeanne MacDonald, President, Global RPO Solutions, Korn Ferry

Increasingly, hiring managers are turning to experienced RPO leaders, such as Korn Ferry, to drive, streamline and modernize the process.
