Our weekly WebMingle is designed to give you some insight into the puzzling world of HR technology, discuss news from around the world that we find interesting, talk about upcoming events in our industry, and provide insightful interviews with people of our industry – who they are, what they do and why you should care. The WebMingle has become the most popular live weekly Internet show in the HR technology industry! It has truly redefined how people get information about vendors, trends and really anything related to HR technology.
So what is a WebMingle? It is a meeting over the web where we do some business, socialize and yes, we mingle over the web. Thus, a WebMingle.
The 60-minute WebMingle on January 21st, our milestone 50th show in our WebMingle series, featured executives from HRchitect. With me were Rick Fletcher, President & Founder, John Hinojos, VP of Consulting Services, and Jacqueline Kuhn, one of our senior HCM consultants. We took a look back at some of the changes and interesting happenings in the world of HR and HR technology over the past year with some fantastic discussions around the following:
- The new economy, effects on HR in the areas of employee discipline, compliance, hiring practices, the changing workforce, and more
- Mergers, acquisitions, and vendors raising money
- The impact of Talent Management vendors adding HRMS functionality
- SaaS – adoption, challenges, etc.
- …and much more
