The challenge is that most leaders do not pay attention to the health of their work culture, and it’s rare for leaders to be held accountable for the quality of their work environment or for happy, engaged, and productive employees. Employees are happiest and engaged when treated with trust,
High-tech companies like Sony, Target, and Yahoo—along with the U.S. government—have been victims of data breaches. If these companies, with the best resources at their disposal, can be compromised, what hope do average small-to-mid-size businesses have to protect their data? And how can HR departments help keep employee data safe? Most small to medium sized businesses haven’t had to think about network security, much less a breach of security, but times have changed, and keeping employee data safe is another responsibility of the HR department. However, there is an answer. HR and IT working together can keep employee data safe, but

Let’s look at some advantages of HR outsourcing—also known as HRO: Reduces costs. The
The future of work is here. More specifically, the future of our workplaces is here. Companies are realizing the value of focusing on the environment for their employees. Creating a more human-centered workplace has a lasting impact on employees, the company, and the bottom-line as a whole. A place of work is a living environment that helps individuals and businesses craft and experience a rewarding fusion of life and work. An embedded experience is a primary differentiator whenever individuals engage with an organization and it should play a core role within every company – both strategically and operationally.

The field of human resources is evolving quickly. While recruiters previously spent hours perusing thousands of resumes, they are now discovering these tedious parts of their job can be streamlined with sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Enter Riminder, a new recruitment technology for HR that uses deep learning to sift out candidates who are not likely to be a good match. The AI technology analyzes data while learning with each interaction to find candidates most qualified with the required skill set, culture fit, and career pathway that matches the job title and description. The company’s founder and CEO Mouhidine Seiv says the
