Improving hr management through gamification - Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
While many skeptics still struggle to understand how playing a game can have a real business impact, companies that have implemented external, customer-facing gamification have discovered that there’s far more to it than meets the eye. These programs have tremendous power to spur motivation and influence customer behavior.
According to a study highlighted in the MIT Sloan Management Review, approximately 25 percent of all workers change jobs each year. This percentage includes employees who are terminated by their employers or leave on their own. Either way, it’s disruptive for companies when one-quarter of the workforce is transitioning in and out of positions. Developing and implementing a structured and comprehensive onboarding program is one way to maximize workforce and organizational success.
Similar to Is your Employee Referral Program as good as you think? (20)
If you’re frustrated with the mostly mediocre results produced by your current corporate employee referral program, it is important to realize that with only a handful of action steps you can dramatically improve both the quality and the volume of referrals. Referral Program managers need to realize that there is a growing performance gap between average referral programs and the emerging advanced ones. Advanced programs result in referrals reaching nearly 50% of all hires and they can receive as many as 8 referrals for each open job. These advanced programs can produce the highest quality, the fastest hires and even lower-cost hires than other sources. The keys to dramatically improving your results include understanding how to motivate your employees and managers to produce high-quality referrals, how to proactively seek out referrals, how to assign referrals and how to expand program coverage to increase referrals. Common referral program errors will also be highlighted and solutions for each will be provided. The webinar leader, Dr. John Sullivan, is the leading global expert in referral program design. During this highly interactive session, he will provide you with tips, action steps, best practices and he will answer your questions. As competition for top talent increases, upgrading your program to the next level is becoming an essential strategic step that can no longer be postponed.
Referrals make the best hires: a fact that comes as no surprise to corporate recruiters. After all, it makes sense that the people closest to your best employees are also likely to be good employees. That’s why more and more forward thinking HR departments are trying to optimize their employee referral programs (ERPs) to yield a greater number of high quality referrals. Find some tips to take your ERP to the next level.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

of Employee Referrals, many still have simple policies
not Integrated Programs that:
• Build a Diverse Work Force
• Grow the organization’s Employment Brands

3. Recent European Study
Spanning
145
Companies
A Recent Study conducted across 145
Companies Revealed:
• Compared to other recruiting sources, the Employee
Referral Program had a success rate of over 42%
(Referral to Hire Ratio)
•
73% of the companies claimed that the cost-per-hire
through their Employee Referral Programs is
significantly lower than the other recruitment sources.
• More than 53% of the businesses surveyed already had
an established Referral Program in use, and 36%

the right technology to support it Is crucial
planned to set up one within the next year.

• Showing a Plateau in Performance
• Necessitating a Quick Program Audit
• Low Time-to-Fill
• Satisfaction of Managers,

• Increased ROI
Is Your Employee Referral
Program as Good as you Think?
5. Here is a
USEFUL
CHECKLIST
to check the relevance
& efficacy of your
Employee Referral
Program
Is your Referral Program Prioritized
correctly?
• The difference between a good & average program is
often the difference between focus & a one-shoe-fits-all
policy. Instead of covering the entire spectrum of jobs, an
effective referral program focuses on:
• Mission Critical Jobs
• Hard to Fill Positions
• High Priority Jobs
Utilizing Employee time in Referrals for positions that
are easy to fill through other Recruitment Solutions,
does not Increase ROI in the long run.
Is Your Employee Referral
Program as Good as you Think?
6. Optimal Use of
Social Recruiting
Is your Referral Program making Optimal use
of Social Recruiting Solutions?
An effective Employee Referral Software, must facilitate the
Solutions
Employee’s Social Media Relationships & provide Easy Tools
to convert them into referrals.
Structured technology solutions which empower
employees in the Referral process work better than
fitting your process into the design of an available tool
Is Your Employee Referral
Program as Good as you Think?
7. Maintaining
Operational
Responsiveness
Is your Organization as Proactive as you
would like it to be?
Slow Response Time is likely to affect the Referrals
negatively, as also to frustrate Employees. In order to
keep Interest Levels High:
• Both the Referral & the Employee must be responded
to, within a pre agreed time frame
• The time frames must be communicated early on, to
set common expectations
• Should you be unable to reduce the turnaround time,
Opt for an Agile Employee Referral Tracking
Software, that can keep employees updated
about the status of the Referral made by them
it will be advisable to seek volunteers or reduce the
scope of the program.
Is Your Employee Referral
Program as Good as you Think?
8. Ease of Use
Is your ERP a maze for employees to
trudge through?
• Even large rewards can fail to get employees to act, if
the referral program is not backed by operational
ease. It is worthwhile to consider:
• Does the process have too many complicated steps?
• Are the Employees able to access the program easily?
• Employee Referral Programs should be integrated
with the overall Recruitment Program
A User Friendly Social Recruiting Software can go a
long way in improving Employee Usage & Efficiency
Is Your Employee Referral
Program as Good as you Think?
9. Relevant Reward
Programs
Is your Reward Program customized to excite
your Target Audience?
• The Primary Positioning of a good Employee Referral
Rewards program is that referrals are to be made for
the benefit of the Team & the Organization . Few points
worth emphasizing are:
• Employees have a crucial role in building the team.
Employees are therefore positioned as Talent Scouts.

of Increased Productivity can also be highlighted

Programs
Employees can also be motivated & engaged
in Referral Programs through non monetary
appreciation such as:
• Personalized Thank You Notes
• Opportunities to Interact with Top Management
• Choice of vacation or work shift schedules
• Opportunity to appear in Company Product Advertising
