All This Data But No Information

ep217: HR Tech sounds great: applicant tracking, automated processes, quantified feedback... But what's the point? If our points don't connect and draw lines towards better employee experiences and business outcomes. Phil, Bert, and special guest Erin Miley, AAIM’s business manager for member and pre-hire services, discuss what to do with all that fragmented data.

4:10 - What to expect at the Wayfinder Event this Friday, February 10, 2023.

 

Lawyer on the Clock:

6:58 - First up is a COVID-19 related case out of New Jersey involving a restaurant that terminated an employee for quarantining after an exposure to COVID-19 and developing symptoms. This is ongoing, but similar cases are coming.

 

10:11 - Two new laws are coming down the pike. The first is the Pregnant Workers’ Fairness Act, which requires employers to offer reasonable accommodations to employees who are expecting and bars companies from punishing a pregnant worker who seeks an arrangement to help them safely do their job.

 

12:32 - The second is the Pump Act, which expands workplace protections for lactating employees by requiring employers to provide all employees who are nursing with reasonable time and private space to express breastmilk.

 

12:59 - The EEOC announced its enforcement priorities for the next several years. They're really going to be looking at systemic issues and things that are systemwide that impact more people.

 

17:15 - NLRB numbers are out and union membership is now 6.6% of the private sector workforce.

 

Philburt’s Phorum: 

20:57 - Phil places some Superbowl vs. Workplace bets. 

 

The Employer’s Lounge

23:58  - Poll results are in, and expense management is by far the application most of our viewers would exclude from a suite of HR applications. 

 

24:53 - Erin Miley discusses using an integrated HR solution, which connects various platforms together to create a streamlined process of flow of information, and what we need to consider about the tools that we're using as far as collecting, storing, and retaining data.
