2012-2013 Going Global Report: Seeking Efficiency and Innovation
By Karen V. Beaman, HRIP
This paper reports on the results of Jeitosa Group International’s annual survey, Going Global in 2013, focused on the globalization of HR organizations, people, processes, and technologies. The objective of this research is to assess the nature and extent of globalization that is occurring within the HCM industry with the goal of disseminating a set of leading practices to help organizations in evaluating and selecting the most effective and relevant practices for their organization.
Jeitosa’s Going Global in 2013 survey shows Performance Management as the function most common governed globally (65%), followed by other Talent Management functions of Total Compensation (54%), Succession Planning (52%), and Learning and Development (48%). Functions that typically show a hybrid governance model are HR (31%), Benefits (35%), Compensation (31%), Recruiting (36%), Learning (36%), Career Development (32%) and Workforce Planning (33%). As generally expected, functions most typically governed locally are Payroll (48%) and Time and Attendance (55%).

The Internet of Everything
How More Relevant and Valuable Connections Will Change the World
While the Internet is not a cure-all, it is the one technology that has the potential to rectify many of the challenges we face. Already, the Internet, which has gone through several stages in its relatively short life span, has benefited many individuals, businesses, and countries by improving education through the democratization of information, allowing for economic growth through electronic commerce, and improving business innovation by enabling greater collaboration.
So, what’s next? How will the Internet evolve to continue changing and improving the world? The purpose of this paper is to address this important question in order to provide industries, individuals, and countries with the information they need to begin planning and making strategic decisions for the coming decade.
Big Data and the Future of the Hourly Workforce
How Big Data is Changing the Way Operating Executives Manage their Hourly Workforce
One area where the use of data analytics is having a tremendous impact is in optimizing spend within the hourly workforce. The hourly workforce accounts for approximately 17% of GDP in the United States. And this is only part of the story. Annualized attrition across the hourly workforce is between 25% and 150+% depending on industry, job type, etc. With that level of spending, small improvements in outcomes can easily be worth billions or tens of billions of dollars.
However, few operational executives have in place the necessary tools to pinpoint performance and attrition improvement areas within the hourly workforce in a way that allows them to systematically identify root causes and then implement solutions. The key to success is in having the correct tools in place to measure key components of the hourly workforce and then to harness the data captured utilizing these measurement tools to drive insight and improvement. The hourly workforce is tremendous in the richness of data available to evaluate. For a given hourly employer there are billions and sometimes trillions of data points that can be systematically evaluated to understand and then optimize the workforce.

Will Others Follow Yahoo in Telecommuting Ban?
Not Likely, According to Survey from Challenger, Gray & Christmas
When struggling big box retailer Best Buy followed in the footsteps of Yahoo! Inc. by altering its telecommuting policies for employees, some undoubtedly concluded that there would soon be a flood of companies doing the same. However, a survey by our firm in the wake of the Yahoo announcement indicates that Best Buy may be in the minority, with the overwhelming percentage of companies planning to maintain their telecommuting policies.

Executive’s Guide to Best Practices in SaaS and the Cloud
Among technology professionals, the prevailing perception of cloud computing has undergone quite a transformation in the past five years.
In the middle years of the last decade, the cloud was largely viewed among IT leaders as too insecure and too much of a step backward toward the days of mainframes. However, after the budget crunch of the Great Recession in 2009, the cloud became a life raft for IT, streamlining costs without substantially decreasing services.
In the past couple of years, cloud computing has grown so prevalent that it’s become a cliché. In fact, many IT pros are tired of hearing how it will solve nearly every problem. Yet its impact on IT is undeniable, and it has become one of the IT department’s most potent tools—when used properly.
It’s the properly part that this ebook is all about.
Givers take all: The hidden dimension of corporate culture
By encouraging employees to both seek and provide help, rewarding givers, and screening out takers, companies can reap significant and lasting benefits
In giver cultures, employees operate as the high-performing intelligence units do: helping others, sharing knowledge, offering mentoring, and making connections without expecting anything in return. Meanwhile, in taker cultures, the norm is to get as much as possible from others while contributing less in return. Employees help only when they expect the personal benefits to exceed the costs, as opposed to when the organizational benefits outweigh the personal costs.
ROI of Talent Management: Key Challenges & Value Points
The implementation of a best-in-class and end-to-end talent management program is a primary concern for many leading organizations. It has been well documented that organizations that have a strong commitment to talent development and employee engagement consistently out-perform those that do not.
One key to delivering an effective talent management program is a centralized database containing all of the information across all areas including learning management, performance management, compensation, and succession planning. Not only does this help ensure that the organization becomes more competitive overall, it also significantly improves the day-to-day administrative processes, ensuring they are managed as efficiently as possible.

April/May 2013 Issue – This issue focuses on two frequently mentioned topics in HR – Human Capital Analytics and Workforce Planning. Some may joke that these subjects share the common trait of being subjects that nearly every company talks about, but which few companies actually do. However, we hope that with a lineup of both industry practitioners from the trenches, as well as stories from some experts in analytics and workforce planning, we can help HR and organizations alike to make progress.
Of course, even with great stories, case studies and examples, we still have the fact that this deals with a topic many in the HR profession avoid whenever possible, i.e., math. Who goes into HR for the math? That said, if the HR profession is waiting for all the other business functions and top management to learn to speak/understand and embrace soft HR, we have a long wait ahead of us. In fact, it likely will never happen.
The language of business is not English, or any other spoken language, rather it is the language of dollars and cents, of currency regardless of country. Revenue, costs, and the ubiquitous bottom line; the ongoing search for profit is here to stay. It is high time HR stepped up to use these same tools – data, basic math and building business cases with numbers – to truly “take” their place, not with a seat somewhere at the table, but rather at the right hand of the CEO as both trusted advisor and steward of the workforce; a source of strategic competitive advantage for all companies and all industries. This issue’s articles describe how HR’s use of human capital analytics and workforce planning will yield positive bottom-line results.
