Today on the HR Happy Hour Show, Trish and Steve were joined by Alan Burger of InfoSlips, an innovative HR tech company that is trying to reinvent the digital document - an endeavor that has numerous applications and implications for HR leaders.

On the show Alan shared how the original idea for InfoSlips was developed (it was from receiving old, paper based paystubs), his thoughts on how to improve the way we communicate with employees via modern technology approaches, and the power of digitizing documents and employer/employee interactions.

Additionally, Alan talked about how with AI and other technologies, the capability exists to 'talk' with our documents - a really innovative idea and one that I bet you have not heard about before. And since it was a 'tech' and HR show, we also discussed the HR issues surrounding the increased automation of work, and what that means for HR and workplaces.

This week on the HR Happy Hour Show, Trish was joined by Traci Zablocki and Eileen Kkey, professional services leaders at ADP, to talk about the importance of training when you buy a new technology solution. While some people think training is not necessary if the solution is intuitive, we talked about why that is not true.  Training is an important part of having a successful implementation and strong user adoption.

We also covered ways HR leaders can find the most appropriate and effective types of training for their workforce.  We also talked through one specific tactic for success, the Ulitization Scorecard.

On the show, Cecile and John shared their thoughts on the important role of HR and HR technologies to help develop people, allow them to achieve their goals and aspirations, and ultimately, (no pun intended), to help the organization succeed. By creating person-centric and 'people first' technologies that better understand people, streamline and enhance the way work and transactions are performed, and enable them to connect to each other in powerful ways - Ultimate is helping people and organizations of all kinds meet their individual and organization-wide challenges.
