Absenteeism is not something that is confined to a few sectors of the economy. It is one of the most persistent obstacles to productivity, profitability and competitiveness. In this webcast we look at how the latest developments in Time & Attendance and Labor Scheduling solutions are assisting World Class organizations to permanently reduce absenteeism. We uncover the many associated costs of absenteeism including; overtime, dissatisfied customers and the morale of workers expected to cover for absent employees. We explain why absenteeism remains a persistent problem for organizations, despite the fact that many organizations have first class policies on absence management in place.

The majority of HR technological innovation to date has been focused on improving efficiency and effectiveness of corporate HR/recruiters, with little being done to help improve the candidate experience of applying for a job. In many cases, these technologies have actually made the process worse for candidates, forcing them to manually enter their information into long application forms.

Organizations wanting to attract top talent need to make candidate experience a top priority within their HCM strategy. This means ensuring candidates have a positive experience throughout the application process, including making it easy for them to provide their information.

This presentation will show how you can make the application process simple for both the candidate and the recruiter. It will also show you how to increase the amount of candidate information captured, enabling recruiters to make quicker and more effective decisions on which candidates to pursue.

Learn about the importance of Candidate Experience and the impact it can have on the volume and quality of candidates that will complete your organization's application process.
• Learn how to simplify the application process for both the candidate and the recruiter, while capturing more of the candidate's information at the same time.
• Learn how to consider Candidate Experience throughout your entire recruitment process, including your Oracle HCM system.

This presentation, based on the experiences and "next practices" of hundreds of HR leaders and projects, will examine the five (5) critical issues that must be addressed in the critical first 100 days and beyond of HRIS project implementation.

HCM in the Cloud? Is the sky the limit or should we be fearing a storm?

Concerns from vendors and clients are no longer centred on "What is the Cloud?” but rather "Will the Cloud work for us?”

We invite you to our HR.com session to discuss the established trend of Cloud/Software-as-a-Service and how it is shaping up (and even shaking up) the HCM arena.

During the session we will provide you with insight on the key drivers for cloud, how to align these with your strategic business initiatives, and a high level overview of the leading Cloud application offerings from renowned providers.

In your attendance, we hope to impart knowledge on the benefits cloud solutions can provide you and your organisation and allow you to take the opportunity to see the latest cloud HCM offerings.

Even the best Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERPs) are only as good as the people that use them and the people that help the organization prepare for their implementation. Many organizations are not prepared for the multiple initiatives and actions needed for successful implementation of such technology. Getting people to use new technology requires more than just training – it requires obtaining and maintaining buy-in and support. To achieve success a new technology implementation requires strategic communication, a clearly understood strategy, strong committed leadership and a detailed change management and governance plan. Often employees resist the implementation of ERPs and other new technologies because they don’t understand why the technology is necessary or how it will help them do their jobs. They often feel overwhelmed by the processes, terminology, and technical nature of this type of change. This session will provide an overview of tools and information that can be used in an effort to ease these concerns and help lead to successful implementations.

Five New Ways to Move Beyond Status Quo Technology Implementation HRIS and other talent technology intiatives such as ERP and cloud migrations can fail in implementation due to mis-alignment with business objectives and/or user adoption rates. In many cases, internal business users will avoid or fail to give their buy-in to the launch of a solutions launch. It is time to move beyond the "status quo" of typical HR technology applications to an experience that supports workforce effectiveness and personal productivity. This session, based on the studies of hundreds of successful technology implementations, will help HR leaders and their executive team counterparts use new "next practices" alignment and engagement techiques to accelerate successful outcomes to their technology launch(es). The session will give participants both strategic perspectives and practical tips, as well as provide a case study with the Boys & Girls Clubs, around the selection, creation and implementation of new applications that enhance the overall work experience rather than simply compliance or maintenance uses. > How to link to technology projects to overall business objectives- not HR but PA (People Apps that work). > Building a user experience that truly engages them. > Integrating other major initiatives such as intraprenuership and employer branding to your technology launch.

We will question and explore whether there is a need for integrated HR and whether it really is better in the cloud. Explore the pro’s and con’s to being one integrated HR Cloud solution from a modular components standpoint, introduce a few integrated solution providers, address the ever looming “cloud security” questions and how integrated cloud hr can save a company time and money today and in the future. This session is excellent for HR Consulting and HR Admins who want to do more with less time and effort, increase performance within an organization and make the CFO happy, saving boat loads of time and money. This session is also excellent for individuals that want to be part of the Social Enterprise. Topics Addressed in this presentation include: Why Integrated HR We will review a case for bringing all HR components in house into one integrated global core HR system of record. By reviewing individual components of HR we can identify the needs and wants and better understand how these can work better together in one cloud solution. Why Cloud HR This is the topic on everyone’s minds today. We will briefly attack the whole “cloud thing” and see how this cloud phenomena can benefit HR Admins and their organizations. What are the Benefits of Integrated Cloud HR From what we expose and discover in the previous sections we will briefly explore the power of both Cloud and HR as one globally accessible solution for today’s global social workforce. What are the Security Risks of Integrated Cloud HR Always a topic of concern, this is a “must address” requirement in any Cloud conversation, especially Cloud HR as it pertains to private, confidential employee records and personal data. Who are some of the players in the Integrated Cloud HR space Sure we are Vana Workforce and we want you to think there are no other solutions in Cloud HR or at least none as good as Vana Workforce, but let’s be honest, there are lots. Some are better than others and some are perfect for your organization. We will quickly and visually identify the leaders, larger and smaller and touch on some of the offerings from the leaders in Cloud HR. How can Integrated Cloud HR Save Time and Money YES... the most important question on everyone’s minds always comes down to how cool and app is, how functional it is, and finally the ultimate question; “how much is this going to cost me”. Well the great news is that both Cloud and Integrated will indeed save you both Time and Money. How much is dependent on the solution of choice, the vendor or consultant you are working with and your requirements, but we can cover this in general so that the Integrated Cloud HR truth of Time and Money can be exposed.

While Talent Management Suite implementations are all the rage these days, often companies do not realize all that is involved until they are in the middle of the implementation, leading to increased costs, delayed Go Live dates and poor change management. In this session, Janna Hartsock, HRIS Manager at The American Institutes for Research (AIR), will present on AIR’s implementation of a Talent Management Suite, and what she wishes someone had encouraged them to have worked on before the implementation even started. You may think you know what you’re getting into, but you can be sure to come away with at least one pre-implementation To Do you hadn’t thought of.
