Is your HR platform holding you back? Sticking with a system because it’s familiar might feel safe, but it often comes at a hidden cost—inefficiency, errors, and lost opportunities. Yes, migrating to a better HR platform might seem daunting, but the long-term benefits far outweigh the short-term challenges. Better tools lead to smarter decisions, happier employees, and streamlined processes. And when it comes to migration, data transfer is no longer the hurdle it once was—technology has evolved to make this transition smoother than ever. Don't let the fear of change keep your organisation from thriving! www.workit.com.au #HRTech #DigitalTransformation #Leadership #PeopleManagement #FutureOfWork

💲International recruiters and employers of expat talent will be pleased to learn that relocating to NZ has become a little cheaper in the past year, according to the data collected in the 2024 Mobile Relocation Cost and Policy Report. 🛳️ Shipping Costs have eased slightly across most routes, but the anticipated significant post-COVID price-drop has not materialised due to the crisis in the Red Sea. ✈️ Airfares to NZ have eased as supply and competition on all routes have increased. 🏢Temporary Accommodation Costs have decreased as the economic slowdown has led to reduced domestic travel, resulting in lower demand for Airbnb accommodation. Thanks to Matthew Woodley and Tanya Matselskaya who supplied data on shipping and travel costs for our report. #relocation #resettlement #expatsupportservicesnz

Our 2024 survey reveals some recurring themes among CIOs and technology executives. Although all are relevant, these two really resonate with me and the need to take a person-centred and business-led approach to technology... Relentless change is cultivating a fear of missing out. Technology leaders need to resist the hype and take a measured, strategic approach to new solutions. Evidence-based, traceable and value-driven decisions require insights from stakeholders, customers, employees and partners – and take an always-on approach to performance.
