HR Software Could Manage Key Issues

The implementation of HR software could help manage many of the key issues facing industry professionals.

Halogen Software recently released a report that details HR professionals’ opinions on nine controversial topics in business and talent management. Topics included everything from generational management, to merit-based pay, to social media in the workplace, to HR metrics, to EFCA complacency, to the future role of HR.

Those topics and the responses they garnered from HR professionals include:

  • Should you use stack ranking to remove low performers – 56 percent said maybe, 25 percent said no, 19 percent said yes
  • Do you need to manage the generations differently – 45 percent said maybe, 37 percent said no, 18 percent said yes

  • Do you support blocking social media sites in your organizations – 64 percent said no, 30 percent said it depends, 6 percent said yes
  • What’s the number one HR metric to report to your CEO – 35 percent said ROI on talent management, 24 percent said employee engagement, 24 percent said there isn’t one, 17 percent said retention
  • Are companies too complacent about the potential of labor activism – 76 percent said no, 24 percent said yes
  • Who should make decisions on exec comp for companies that were bailed out like GM – 65 percent said the government, 35 percent said the board
  • What’s the future role of HR – 56 percent said internal business consultant and partner, 40 percent said talent strategist, 4 percent said compliance expert, zero percent said more administrative

The report was based on a poll conducted in conjunction with a panel Webcast that included HR thought leaders, academics, analysts, authors, practitioners and bloggers.
