Playing it safe is perilous to an HR professionalís career today, and Axiome Sourcing has released an antidote to transactional paralysis with its business intelligence solution (ARMS[sm]).
ìWith labor shortage in the US of 10 million jobs looming by 2012, human resource professionals must reposition themselves from transactional overseers to transformational forward thinkers in order to solve the new challenges facing their companies today and gain a seat across the table from executives,î said Nancy Morales, President and Founder of Axiome Sourcing. ìARMS(sm) frees HR specialists from transactional tasks, like requisition management, to focus on critical employment strategy while keeping a pulse on all outsourcing or contingent labor activity.î
ARMS(sm) delivers business intelligence for future buying decisions by giving a business the agility it requires to harness the value of services outsourcing. Real-time reports provide a transparent view into outsource spend by supplier, worker, project, MWBE supplier activity, headcount, timesheet details, expense details and more. This financial and analytic data is available anytime from anywhere. Axiome Sourcing is not owned by nor affiliated with any staffing company, avoiding alliances that would impede fair competition.
The solution enables HR professionals, who are charged with acquiring top talent and effectively managing their business process, to evolve into more strategic roles such as:
ï HR strategist: Focused on building talent as a competitive advantage.
ï Performance manager: By managing the workforce including temporary labor, staffing agencies and outsourced consultants, bottom-line contributions increase the value of HR.
ï Compliance and governance officer: Risk management, regulatory compliance ñ a wide array of issues that must be proactively planned for and dealt with.
If talent is one of todayís most important competitive advantages, then HR professionals who take the necessary risks in order to focus on value creation as opposed to administration will be the winners. At the Silicon Valley HR Symposium on May 10, this trend was heavily supported by HR executives from Network Appliance, Adobe, Agilent, The Gap, Knight Ridder and Jackson Hole Group. These executives chronicled their personal journeys from childhood to obtaining the top human resourcesí position in their companies. Their stories included ìyou only have 6 months to liveî to being willing to throw their badge across the table and walking away from unethical management directives.
Debra Barber from Jackson Hole said that being a ìtruth tellerî is the number one unwritten job requirement of human resources. While their journeys were all different, they carried common themes of risk taking, forward thinking and focus on value creation. Axiome Sourcingís solutions help human resources establish bottom line value contribution to their business.
