Last year, in addition to my annual post with tips for attending the Society for Human Resource (SHRM) Annual Conference , I wrote a post about some of the things that I carry with me during the event. Not only was it a nice reminder for me when I’m packing, but I received several good comments from readers. So, I’m doing a 2019 version for this year’s event which will be held June 23-26, 2019 in Las Vegas.

One of the key parts of what I do in my job is speaking. Webinars. Conferences. Seminars. I’ll talk to pretty much anyone about anything related to HR. And I LOVE it. This is pretty funny for anyone that knows me well, because I’m fairly shy and introverted. If I show up to the pre-conference party myself, I’ll eat quickly and leave for the safety of my hotel room and a good book.

Gallup said it best: “Simply put, engaged employees produce better business outcomes than other employees do — across industries, company sizes and nationalities, and in good economic times and bad.” Engaged employees can save your company money in a number of ways, from both a retention and productivity perspective.

For years, companies have struggled to provide a positive experience for new workers in the onboarding process. Many of the challenges stem from a lack of a people-centric workflow and a check-the-box mentality. Rather than simply treat onboarding as a list of tasks, a strong employee relationship must begin with onboarding that focuses on delivering a positive experience for both the worker and the employer.

One of the negative consequences of today’s talent acquisition processes is that we have so many more candidates that don’t get picked for open jobs. With one-click apply, the availability of job boards, and other technologies to lower the friction of applying for jobs, employers have more candidates than ever flowing through their applications.

In a way, the relationship between user adoption and HRMS success is self-evident. Consider the reverse situation: if users aren’t using the system, is it a success or a failure? An unused HRMS is probably stuck forever in a state of negative ROI so, in this sense, user adoption is THE success factor of HRMS implementation.

Most companies today, for example, are well aware that having outplacement services at the ready can help manage brand reputation , forestall lawsuits, and save money. Yet many still put off putting an outplacement plan in place until the company is actually facing layoffs — leading to a mad scramble when time and resources are already st
