If you’ve been in the corporate world for long, you’ve heard the acronym “HCM” thrown around a lot. According to Gartner1, HCM, or human capital management, “is a set of practices related to people resource management. These practices are focused on the organizational need to provide specific competencies and are implemented in three categories: workforce acquisition, workforce management, and workforce optimization.”
HCM software is used by many companies to streamline business processes and manage and maintain staff. It is enabled by various applications such as:
- Personnel administration
- Payroll
- Workforce planning
- Competency management
- Onboarding
- Reporting and analytics
- Workflow
Human capital management software integrates all these functions, as well as many more, into one platform. However, it doesn’t always ensure employee engagement.
Why Companies Using HCM Software Have Disengaged Employees
Three-quarters of employees are not fully engaged or productive, per a national study by Dale Carnegie Training that was mentioned by Forbes.2 This statistic indicates that even with the use of HCM software, some companies still struggle with employee disengagement.
The causes of employee disengagement vary from company to company. However, there are a few common reasons why employees are dissatisfied. According to a contributor to LinkedIn3, many professionals are disengaged because:
-
- They don’t get along with their supervisors
- They don’t fit in with company culture
- They aren’t taking charge of their own career
- They feel undervalued
Also, a lack of organization can contribute to disengagement, per Recruiter.com4. A contributor wrote, “Be sure to remain organized in all your company functions, policies, and procedures so workers will always be fully aware of company-related business and how (if at all) this affects their place in your establishment.” This is where MyGuide can help.
