1. Designing the Employee Experience: The Ultimate Guide for HR
Did you know that today, 70% of CHROs are prioritizing employee experience (EX) and company culture? EX and culture drive engagement and retention —critical to address at a time when both metrics are trending down. It’s no surprise that top HR professionals want to take a strategic approach to managing people and their work experience.
ClearCompany’s Employee Experience Guide dives deeper into how EX impacts employee engagement and retention. You’ll learn:
- What the “employee experience” is, exactly
- Why EX is so important for the success of your recruiting efforts, HR initiatives, individual employees, and entire business
- A step-by-step approach to crafting an EX strategy that enhances every stage of the employee life cycle
- 23 ways you can improve the employee experience
This Guide equips you with a few significant facts and figures about EX. It also provides actionable insights to improve employee satisfaction and performance, whether your team is remote, hybrid, or in-office.
2. HR Metrics That Matter: Harnessing Data to Maximize Employee Talent and HR Impact
HR pros know that good strategy requires great data. You need the facts and context that data can provide in order to make decisions that help your team progress toward its goals. When you track HR metrics —and understand why you’re tracking them —you equip yourself with great data.
But what metrics should you track, and how? What can you learn from them? Find answers in our guide, HR Metrics That Matter: Harnessing Data to Maximize Employee Talent and HR Impact.
First, we touch on why you should be paying attention to your people data. Then, we’ll help you kick off your efforts with a list of more than 80 key metrics related to recruitment, engagement, HR software, and more. You’ll also find out what you can learn about your workforce from each of these metrics, which include:
- Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS): A measure of the likelihood that employees would recommend your company to their friends and family, based on a 10-point rating scale, with 10 being “extremely likely”
- HR Technology Employee Participation Rate: The number of employees actively using HR software compared to the total number of employees
- Time to Offer Acceptance: The number of days between sending a job offer and offer signing
You’ll also learn more about the role of HR software in making data analysis accessible and how it empowers even small HR teams to drive strategic decisions.
3. Top Trends Shaping the ATS Landscape in 2024
Did you know that 60% of HR pros already use artificial intelligence (AI) in their recruiting processes? What about the fact that companies seem to be pulling back on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) efforts while it’s still a priority for employees? Keeping up with trends like these is vital for developing competitive HR and recruiting strategies.
In Top Trends Shaping the ATS Landscape in 2024, we explore the latest trends affecting applicant tracking system (ATS) development. The guide provides insights into how recruiting technology is evolving in response, changing candidate experiences and making recruiters' lives easier. Get familiar with the landscape so that your team can make informed choices about which ATS solutions best meet your recruiting goals and organizational needs.
4. Performance Review Templates
Performance reviews are critical for a focused, engaged workforce, but just 13% of employees and managers feel their company’s performance review system is useful. Are your reviews helping employees improve and grow, or are they superficial and impractical?
