Best Practices for HCM Excellence

In the modern business world, human capital management (HCM) systems are business-critical: every company must maintain its employee and payroll data, automate HR transactions, and create a better experience for both managers and employees. For large companies, implementing cloud-based HCM systems is a multiyear, complex, cross-functional project, and the expectations of a better employee experience (EX), faster and better data, and a more strategic HR function implementation often far exceed the actual derived value of the implementations.
