How did Spring cleaning become a thing, and why do we do it?

It’s officially March. Daylight savings has us up an hour earlier, the weather’s teasing us by thinking about getting warmer, and most of us are envious of the students enjoying spring break on a beach somewhere.

Supposedly, this odd combination of things gets us in the mood to clean house. But there’s research to back it up: according to the experts, the warm weather and extra light are responsible for giving us the additional boost of energy.

The employee survey still is perhaps the most ubiquitous tool in use for HR to give their employees a voice.

It may be changing and being disrupted (debatable) by regular or real-time feedback mechanisms but regardless employee data collection will continue.

I am, however, constantly amazed by the amount of power that is overlooked with these surveys. We’re gathering some incredibly powerful and telling data. Yet, we barely use a portion of the informational wealth it holds. 

Why? Most organizations don’t know how to leverage the confidential survey correctly and maintain the privacy provisions they agreed with your employees during data collection.  

There will be over 400 HR product and service providers in the expo hall at HR Tech in September. A typical company makes use of 8 - 11 of these tools, some as many as 30.

And that is wonderful. I love working in HR Technology. Companies are increasingly free to mix and match different solutions to deliver the employee experience that is right for them. New products come to market all the time. And the entrepreneurs behind these products are pretty consistently driven by a desire to make work better for employees.

The One Model team is pleased to announce its official launch of One AI.  The new tool integrates cutting-edge machine learning capabilities into the current One Model platform, equipping HR professionals with readily-accessible, unparalleled insights from their people analytics data.

One Model’s core platform enables its customers to import multiple data sources into one, extensible, cloud-based platform. Organizations are then able to take full control of their people and business data, gaining increased visibility and spotting trends in the data that otherwise, would remain unnoticed.

One Model delivers people analytics infrastructure. We accelerate every phase of your analytics roadmap. The later phases of that roadmap are pretty fun and exciting. Machine learning. Data Augmentation. Etc. Believe me, you’re going to hear a ton about that from us this year.

But not today. Today we’re going to back up for a minute and pay homage to an absolutely wonderful thing about One Model:  We will help you clean up your data mess.

People often ask us, "What makes One Model different?" Well...there's a lot we could show and tell. We've decided to respond with a series of blog posts covering each and every reason.  Read on for more!

Our Experience Integrating HR Tech for People Analytics - a Vendor by Vendor Comparison.

This will be a living post and we will continue to update as we have time to collect thoughts on each vendor and certainly as we complete integrations to new vendors.  Not every source we work with will be listed here but we'll cover the majors that often work with.

At One Model we get to see the data and structure from a load of HR systems, and beyond, bascially anything that holds employee or person data is fair game as a core system to integrate for workforce analytics.
