Insight #3

IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO JUSTMEASURE ENGAGEMENT, YOU HAVE

TO HAVE AN ACTION PLAN TO CREATE ENGAGEMENT.

Traditional methods of measuring engagement, i.e. annual employee engagement surveys, are no longer relevant. By the time changes are executed, business needs and employee opinions may have changed.

1. Redefine employee engagement2. Create a sense of passion, purpose and mission

3. Check-in: Is your engagement “always on?”

MILLENNIALS AND OTHER GENERATIONS IN THE WORKFORCE.

Insight #5

CONTENT IS THE MOSTPOWERFUL EMPLOYER BRANDING

WEAPON WHEN HIRING.

– Christy Childers, Global Employer Brand Manager at Dropbox

CONTENT CAN HELPEDUCATE AND NURTURE

JOB CANDIDATES BY:

• Helping candidates get the information they need about your company (without unnecessary phone calls with your HR team)

• Helping the wrong candidates self-select out of the applicant pool

• Putting you top of mind when future candidates are considering a career change

Insight #6

PEOPLE TRUST OTHER PEOPLE. NOT BRANDS.

– Kathryn Minshew, CEO of The Muse

Brands like Dropbox know the impact of an employee’s voice. Marketing your company through videos, social media messages, or a combination of both allows job candidates to get to know the real you.

top talent – let your employees’ voice build your brand.

TECHNOLOGY CAN ELIMINATEJOBS, BUT IT USUALLY CREATES NEW,

DIFFERENT JOBS ELSEWHERE.

– Peter Cappelli, George W. Taylor Professor of Management,

The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania

If we learned one thing from this year’s HR Technology Conference, it’s that tech has the power to reintroduce humanity back into companies. Whether you’re looking to attract top talent, or engage your current workforce, technology can help connect your people to an organizational purpose.
