HR TECH OUTLOOK6 APRIL 2019Improving the performance of workforce is a never-ending goal for businesses. It has a direct impact on a company's bottom line; the better an employee feels about a company, the more likely they are to increase productivity. To this end, workforce management (WFM) solutions help enterprises operate efficiently by forecasting staff requirements and creating schedules for accomplishing a given task. As such, companies, today, wish to leverage WFM solutions and develop a more collaborative relationship between employees and management, as well as encourage a higher degree of socialization between co-workers. Apart from improving employee engagement, WFM also has the power to monitor performance and identify employees that are excelling at their tasks and also the ones that are falling behind. Moreover, with the increasing popularity of businesses hiring freelancers on a contractual basis, WFM has become integral solution, helping HRs schedule employee shifts and handle payroll functions. That said, WFM is also leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to quickly analyze workloads, employee performance, and other metrics linked to employees' productivity. These data sets help estimate the amount of time required by an average employee to complete his/her job and then make work schedule adjustments accordingly. Apart from implementing AI, another significant WFM trend involves easier integration and synchronization of data in a single location for the ease of access. This helps HR managers to manage all the key information pertaining to employees from a centralized location. As the workforce is shifting from baby boomers to millennials, a greater focus is being placed on improving the employee experience. Employees are demanding more self-service modules and flexibility in their daily schedule. With the changing needs of employers and employees, WFM solutions continue to evolve as well. Staying up-to-date with the current WFM trends can help companies make the best-informed decisions. Our goal with this special edition is to help organizations address such problems.
