Setting Talent Acquisition Goals for the New Year

As 2022 begins, talent acquisition teams must set the right goals for the year ahead. JazzHR asked HR professionals and business leaders about their future plans.

QuickHR’s Founder and Managing Director, Suki Bajaj, is featured as one of the business leaders who shared valuable insights to help HR teams set talent acquisition goals for the new year.

Singapore’s Labour Market Is Recovering Steadily as the Unemployment Rate Continued on Downward Trend

The labour market is recovering steadily as the unemployment rate recorded in November stood at 2.5%, slightly lower than October’s 2.6%, according to Singapore’s Manpower Research and Statistics Department (MRSD).

Facebook Contractors Threaten a Work Stoppage over Lost Paychecks Due to a Recent Change in Payroll Providers

Facebook contractors at an Accenture site experienced missing holiday paychecks and have threatened a work stoppage if the situation is not resolved. The unfortunate event happened when the Accenture site switched payroll providers and encountered some unanticipated challenges during their first payroll run with the new provider.

In order to prevent such a tough case from happening, it’s important to choose a payroll provider who has a dedicated support team to guide you through the handover process.

QuickHR ensures reliable customer support with an experienced team who will fully guide you through the onboarding process — from data migration, training, and walking you through your first pay run.

Virtual Work Environment Applicable in Every Era and in Every Business

Steve Boese has somehow foreseen the future of HR as he takes us to a throwback to 2011 when he spoke about the advent of a virtual work environment at that year’s HR Technology Conference. It’s fascinating how the shared ideas of smart and forward-thinking HR professionals from a decade ago reflect our current situation.

This just shows that these ideas are applicable in every era and in every business. As a result, HR teams are encouraged to focus on improving the remote/hybrid working arrangements by considering implementing essential HR technologies for employee attendance tracking, payroll, leave management and benefits administration.
