Absence Management Time is Money
How Organizations Can Effectively Monitor and Manage Absences to Improve Productivity and Mitigate Risk
Employee absence is a significant cost for businesses, and absence management has gained C-level visibility as more organizations seek to understand and reduce the direct and indirect costs associated with employee absences while increasing the productivity of their workforces. An automated workforce management solution with time, attendance, self-service and scheduling optimization functions can empower organizations to appropriately plan for scheduled absences according to policies, as well as monitor and understand patterns of unscheduled absences. Businesses using this analysis to take actionable steps are ensuring the right skill sets are available at the right time (and at the right cost) to keep the business moving forward. As a result of these informed decisions, organization leaders can go beyond controlling the costs associated with absent employees, to improving workforce schedules and facilitating compliance with government and internal regulations.

The Big Payback on Quality Data— Five tenets companies embrace to
realize ROI
Today, companies are bombarded with an exploding volume of data in
corporate applications and through social media. Not surprisingly, data
inaccuracy is at an all time high.
At a time when companies are scrutinizing the ROI of every expenditure, why invest in data quality? Simply put, accurate and complete data throughout the organization provides a gold-mine of intelligence that can be used to strengthen competitive position.
According to The Gartner Group, poor data quality drains a company on average $8.2 million annually in squandered resources and expenses for operational inefficiencies, missed sales and unrealized new opportunities. In addition a Forrester research study reveals that only 12% percent of companies actually use data-driven intelligence to guide key business functions and corporate strategy. That means that 88% are putting up with the waste, inefficiencies and lost opportunities that dirty data creates.
10th Annual Study of Employee Benefits Trends: Seeing Opportunity in Shifting Tides
The 10th anniversary edition of MetLife’s Annual Study of Employee Benefits Trends marks a decade of exploring an evolving benefits landscape from the point of view of employers and employees across all U.S. regions, industries and company sizes. Through both robust years and through turbulent economic times, the Study has identified significant key findings and insights that have served to inform and shape today’s benefits strategies for employers and their advisors.
Over the last decade, the Study has found that employers’ top benefits objectives – to control costs, attract and retain employees and increase productivity – have remained fairly consistent over time, with slight shifts in priority often indicative of a good or poor economy. However, because the face of the workforce has changed over ten years, the strategies that employers use to achieve those same objectives must also change.
Delivering results: Growth and value in a volatile world
PwC 15th Annual Global CEO Survey 2012
Most multinational companies have been adjusting, without fanfare, to the new global economic reality for some time. This year, CEOs have made clear that they are not backing away from global growth programmes but in fact are deepening their commitments to their most important markets.
The focus on talent and customers today is a natural ‘next step’ towards establishing their organisations in the markets where they operate and building the trust needed for the business of tomorrow. That’s why so many CEOs are changing talent strategies to improve their ability to attract and retain the right people. Skills shortages are very real – just 12% of CEOs say they’re finding it easier to hire people in their industries – and the constraints are having quantifiable impacts on corporate growth. Just as our customers are changing rapidly, so are our workforces – and our talent needs are changing, too.
Why Do Workers Leave? Insight into who decides to quit and reasons behind why they do
After nearly three years of little to no job growth, a potentially sustainable job recovery seems to be close at hand. However, the unemployment rate is still teetering at historically higher levels, and with approximately 3.7 million jobs available for 12.5 million unemployed,1 it’s difficult to understand where a war for talent may be coming from. Yet, a recent government survey found that 51 percent of job separations were due to quits — the first time since 2008 that quits outnumbered layoffs. And more trouble with retention may lie ahead for employers as revealed in the 2012 Aflac Work- Forces Report. The latest study found that nearly half (49%) of employees are likely to look for a new job this year, with the majority of those identifying themselves as top performers with their company.
Securing Your ‘Data at Rest’ in the Cloud
We’re all hungry for best practices and tips for securing data in the cloud and also how shared computer resources can and should work to ensure privacy and protection. The focus is on data security, especially data at rest.
Cloud computing is all about increased scalability and productivity. However, new cloud security threats such as “snapshotting” a virtual disk are emerging. These create new threats to private data, compared to when data was stored and secured between the four walls of a datacenter.
Understanding Mobility Trends and Mobile Usage Among Business Users
The 2012 first quarter’s iPass Mobile Workforce Report provides insights into the trends and habits of today’s mobile workforce
Technology and data consumption are evolving faster than mobile networks are able to adapt; what we at iPass are calling “Mobile Darwinism.” The survivors of this evolution will be those who are able to quickly and continually adjust to change. Adaptation will not only be required by the network providers and device manufacturers – look at the decline of Palm and more recently Nokia and RIM/BlackBerry as examples of those who could not adapt – but by enterprise IT departments that rely on mobile services for their workforce. Mobile employees are now using more and higher resolution data consuming devices, using them more often, and in more places. It’s now Darwin vs. “More-More-More’s” Law.

Workforce Solutions Review - Don’t miss the next issue of IHRIM’s Workforce Solutions Review focusing on Leading Practices
June/July 2012 - This issue focuses on Leading Practices and features the Mid-Year Buyer’s Guide. “Leading Practice” or “Best Practice”? Or do you simply prefer “Our Practice”? For years experts, pundits, and practitioners have argued the term. Even here at WSR we’ve used the term interchangeably in our discussions with each editor having a preference. For this issue of the Workforce Solutions Review we decided to call it our “Leading Practice” issue, but as you read through the articles you’ll likely see all the terms used depending on the author. Some of our feature article topics include Building Leading Practices into Your HCM Processes and Technologies, How Leading Practices affect HR Compliance, and Barriers and Drivers in the Evolution of Talent Management into a Decision Science.
Our columns include an article about how Adaptive Case Management is used at Fujitsu America, Inc., an article that describes why smartphones are essential in helping to curb costs and improve employees knowledge of health benefits and choices, all from the palm of their hands, plus Nick Garbis gives us a rundown on how he was able to implement and improve workforce planning at GE Energy…and he provides some great advice on how you, too, can do this in your organization and succeed.
August/September 2012 Issue - The theme for our August/September issue is “Change.” We have lined up a number of industry experts including Ken Oehler and Paul Rubenstein from Aon Hewitt, Lawrence Jones, Stephen Joyce and Stephanie Marcus from The Hackett Group, Marian Stetson-Rodriquez, President, Charis Intercultural Training Corp. and others to provide our readers with insights, ideas and analysis of the implications of change. Topics that will be covered in this issue include organizational change, changing technology landscape, HR outsourcing, HR transformation, globalization and the multidimensional workforce.
