From recruiting and hiring to onboarding and management, HR is the thread that connects people to your business. But clumsy, paper-based processes and disconnected workflows can make HR feel impersonal and out of touch.

In the age of artificial intelligence, HR’s role is changing, leaving less time for manually completed internal, employee-management processes. Digital documents management and e- signature options help HR to communicate faster, reconcile compliance issues more accurately, and generate approvals more efficiently.

The monitoring and observability landscape has changed greatly over the past three to five years. System architectures are sufficiently different from their pre–cloud native counterparts to demand a new paradigm, born from radically rethinking, as an industry, how we build and implement m onitoring systems

The world of monitoring has fundamentally changed. Today’s monitoring tools were not designed for the complex, dynamic, and interconnected nature of cloud-native architecture. Companies need a monitoring solution that is as scalable, reliable, and flexible as the cloudnative apps they need to monitor.

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, many frontline employees – including store managers, shop assistants and fleet managers – were hailed as ‘heroes’. But how valued do they really feel at work? And how well do their office-based colleagues actually understand them?

Frontline workers (whether they’re selling goods, driving trucks, treating patients, flying planes, operating machinery or doing any other role that doesn’t involve sitting behind a desk) are often closer to customers than their own leadership.

There’s now an urgent expectation for a new kind of leadership. One that, in the words of HR analyst Josh Bersin, represents a shift towards “empathy, compassion and understanding3.” Because that’s the only way to create a sense of belonging and unlock the potential that only people can deliver.

At first, DoorDash was using a combination of StatsD monitoring for its cloud-native stack and another solution to monitor its virtual machine environment. As the cloud-native environment scaled and developers delivered new features, however, the monitoring system kept breaking down.

After creating a brand-new vaccine in record time, leaders at Pfizer knew that if they wanted employees to continue innovating at the same level, they needed to make sure all 79,000 people felt valued and rewarded for their hard work. Since the company’s in-house recognition program could not be implemented everywhere at once – leaving some employees feeling less supported than others – Pfizer chose to partner with Workhuman Ò to produce BRAVO, an impactful Social Recognition Ò program that connected everyone around the globe.

Workhuman and Gallup partnered to discover the correlation between employee wellbeing and strategic employee recognition – and the resulting impact on overall company growth and success. In a large-scale study of more than 12,000 employees across 12 countries, Workhuman and Gallup found that recognition is one of the most effective and affordable ways to improve wellbeing, sparking cultural transformation and helping workplaces achieve exceptional performance.
