Has the way your organisation does business changed recently? In some ways, that was a rhetorical question, because change is the only constant. Anyone running or working in a business knows that this decade has already brought so many changes to the way we work that many are finding it hard to keep up. Given that, the next question (not a rhetorical one this time) is - how is your business managing digital change management and transformation in the workplace? In this week's HR Blog we explore these topics through the lens of the Human Capital Management/HR Software maturity model.

After all the disruption to work and the workplace in 2020, HR technology matters more than ever this year. That's according to Josh Bersin in "HR Technology 2021: The Definitive Guide." He believes that during the last 12 months, HR technology has moved from 'good to have' to 'essential to survival' and any technology which might have been previously purchased as an experiment has likely become mission-critical. In the first HR Blog for the year, let's look at the highlights from Bersin's guide so that you can get a better understanding of exactly why #HRtech matters more than ever in 2021 and beyond.

Business as usual right now is all about cutting costs and driving efficiency. If you were one of the many organisations that got caught out this year because you hadn't started your digital transformation, then how do you ensure that you have the right tech in place to run your entire business remotely (and indefinitely) if needed? How do you embark on a digital transformation as well as cutting costs and driving efficiency? HR Professionals and business leaders across the globe are turning to ‘low to no code’ cloud solutions that ensure access to valuable data from anywhere at any time. This is essential when your workforce is working virtually and customer expectations are high. In this week's HR Blog, we explore the benefits of low to no code #HRtech and how such solutions can help you do more with less (and do it better) in a shorter amount of time.

One of our most popular blog posts last year was about automating employee lifecycle management. In another recent blog, we also shared how things like a regularly updated HR systems and IT ecosystem integration strategy, in addition to a culture of change can improve business outcomes by an average of 15%. We've explored these issues separately in the past, but it's what's possible by bringing them all together that holds the key to unlocking roadblocks in the employee lifecycle. In this week's HR Blog we explore how #HRtech can help you remove roadblocks, improve the employee experience and generate better business outcomes.

The results of Mercer’s 2020 Global Talent Trends Study reveal that in a future full of opportunity, the realities of work, life and the unresolved debates currently raging across the globe are weighing us down as we enter this new decade. Facing into an age of uncertainty, conversations about our collective future, and its impact on our health, wealth and well-being, are front and centre. The report results make it abundantly clear: the next decade will take us in a radically new direction whether we're ready for it or not... In this week's HR Blog we look at Mercer's take on future talent trends.

Every year, EthicalJobs hosts the Not For Profit People Conference in its home town of Melbourne; the biggest event of its kind in Australia. The conference provides an opportunity for NFPs, social enterprise and local councils to explore best practice in attracting, managing, training and retaining great employees. Now, more than ever, the mission of creating a more equitable, just and sustainable future is a critical success factor, not just for businesses, but for all of us. We've witnessed an increase in these types of businesses here at Subscribe-HR. In fact, an increasing proportion of our customers operate in the NFP, social enterprise or local council segments, and we recognise the importance of supporting these businesses. That's why we've signed on to support the Not For Profit People Conference again this year.

Every year at this time, HR software companies across the globe publish blogs about HR trends for the coming year (and beyond). Some blogs list up to 25 trends to keep your eye on, but who has time to stay on top of a list that long in this day and age? If you apply the 80/20 rule to a list that totals 25, you really only need to focus on 5 trends or priorities. And more importantly, you need to choose the top 5 things that matter most to your business. In our first HR Blog for 2020, we're going to explore Gartner's perspective on the top 5 priorities for HR leaders in 2020. These are derived from Gartner's 2020 Future of HR Survey, which polled HR leaders to assess their priorities and expected challenges in 2020 and beyond.

As we've illustrated in the previous blogs in the this series on whether to automate or not to automate, automation of the right tasks and processes in the employee lifecycle is critical to business success. is now a key pillar of the future of work and implementing a human-automation collaboration is essential to any digital transformation program. But what process and functions should you automate first? And how do you make sure that it is roles as opposed to people, that are made redundant? EY has done considerable research in this regard and this blog explores how their best practice advice on how to automate intelligently.
