The technological advancements in recognition software are being adopted by HR teams across the world.  With the HR role stretched to included more and more responsibilities, this group is looking for ways to automate and assist with recognition initiatives and other strategic endeavors. From a simple system that sends out an email to a manager alerting them an employee is celebrating an anniversary next month to a complex system to support budgets with a tiered hierarchy, these tools are a way to complement and support the organization’s recognition strategies, not hinder or replace human communication.

Last week I covered four of the nine HR Trends from SHRM, and one thing is clear…change is happening. In the not so distant future, HR will not be just about HR anymore. It will be something more - complex, global and almost visionary-like.

And it certainly doesn’t last a single day or even a week. Onboarding is about your culture, your people and what makes your organization great. Without properly onboarding your new hires, the cost of turnover can damage your bottom line.
