As a blogger, I’ve been fortunate to participate in events that I would not normally have attended when I was an HR Generalist. Examples are the Ultimate Software Connections Conference , KronosWorks Conference , and the SilkRoad Connections Conference. During those events, I learn about the companies, the products and services they provide, and how they meet the needs of human resources professionals. What is an HR analyst?

I didn’t know this change was coming until I was in New Orleans at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Annual Conference. Back in 2013, Equifax Workforce Solutions helped us understand proposed changes to Form I-9. director of product management at Equifax Workforce Solutions said “yes”. This delay means that the planned updates to address the IE Rule were not included in the new version of Form I-9. There’s a lot happening in the news.

The game teaches valuable lessons in planning and strategy, as each player tries to obtain various associated properties and create monopolies. Most of us would not play Monopoly without a plan or strategy. So, why do we think that it is OK to approach technology for Human Resources without the necessary planning and thought? This process requires a lot of planning and research. HRchitect is a full service HCM Technology consulting firm.

In our continuing series on human resources and technology , I thought it would be good to cover a term that gets thrown around a lot – SaaS. It’s an acronym for Software-as-a-Service. Many times, when I hear the term SaaS, it’s used in the same sentence as “the cloud.” Helene Kopel is a product development leader specializing in Web-based products for small businesses.

I am amazed sometimes by how technology is impacting the world we live in. Human Resource is one of those industries which does not quite make its way into science fiction books, and no kid grows up thinking of revolutionizing the technology inside this particular market. Traditionally, HR was always viewed as a paper-intensive, non-innovative area, where salary decisions are made, people get hired or fired and where team building sessions are organized.

In the bustling work environment of an early-stage startup, HR is sometimes a bit of an ad hoc operation: finance covers payroll, operations stores employee data somewhere, and office managers—gotta love ‘em—handle the rest. But once staffing reaches a certain critical mass, a dedicated human resources professional isn''t just a want anymore. Maybe you''re an office manager tapped to take on an HR role, or an operations manager that needs to tune into talent full-time.
