Research by Future Workplace found that 91% of Millennials expect to stay in a job for less than 3 years. Companies lose 25% of all new employees within the first year, according to SHRM, but almost 70% of employees are more likely to stay with a company for 3 years if they experienced great onboarding.

Topia Granted Patent for ML Models Identifying and Using Seasonality Trend Data

Topia | February 27, 2023

Topia, a global talent mobility and distributed workforce platform, recently announced that it has been awarded a new patent for its unsupervised machine learning models, which can identify seasonality and predict seasonally-influenced metric values. This patent is a testament to Topia's commitment to innovation and to incorporating machine learning models into its products and solutions in future releases, wherever it would benefit its clients. The patent focuses on the use of seasonality-related data. Seasonality is a phenomenon in which the values of a particular metric tend to follow a repeating pattern over time. Machine learning models identify this pattern and forecast the metric's values based on the season. This technique is applied in various ways, including predicting demand, forecasting prices, or anticipating user or customer behavior. One potential application of this technology within Topia's solutions is predicting flight rates to assist customers in managing the flow of people movement in their businesses or optimizing travel expenses. This new patent expands Topia's current portfolio and demonstrates the company's dedication to delivering entirely automated end-to-end Global Talent Mobility. Shawn Farshchi, CEO at Topia, said, "Our new patent shows that we continue to be at the forefront of technological innovation in the global mobility, travel compliance and distributed workspace." He further added, "With the rise of AI in almost all facets of business life, this patent provides us with the ability to substantially expand Topia's platform with machine learning algorithms across our microservices, and further enhance our workflow automation."

Now is the time to act." CompAnalyst Pay Equity Suite automates the process of modeling both internal equity and benchmarking external competitiveness for all jobs within an organization. It is critical to have a complete 360-degree view of where internal gaps may exist and where salaries may fall short of the competition.

The process includes: Grouping comparable jobs to create an internally aligned job structure. Pay gap assessment that focuses not only on gender and race but all dimensions and variables that can influence pay. Multivariate regressions to identify where pay disparities exist. Cohort analyses to determine if there are legitimate factors that explain pay differences and whether pay adjustments are needed. Upon completion of the analyses, organizations can model various remediation adjustments and rerun the multivariate regression analyses to measure their potential impact. Benchmarking External Competitiveness With CompAnalyst Pay Equity Suite, organizations can determine the external value of their jobs based on the current compensation market levels for comparable jobs in the market by accessing CompAnalyst Market Data, the industry's largest and most reliable HR-reported source of up-to-date compensation market data or leveraging other compensation surveys data sources.

MMC Selects RingCentral’s Cloud Communications Solutions to Improve Customer Experience and Streamline Employee Workflows

MMC | March 17, 2023

MMC, Inc., a Human Resources Outsourcing company (HRO), today announced it has replaced its on-premise legacy communications systems with RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE: RNG), a leading provider of global enterprise cloud communications, video meetings, collaboration, and contact center solutions, to drive an improved client experience, streamline employee workflows, and deliver IT cost savings. After migrating 3,000 of its employees to RingCentral MVP® (Message Video Phone™), MMC realized substantial savings on its business communications costs. Known for its expertise in HR outsourcing, payroll, benefits administration, and other business processes, MMC was looking for a cloud solution that could provide greater mobility for its employees and would allow them to more efficiently connect and communicate with clients.

As a result, MMC has streamlined employee workflows, increased accessibility to clients, and empowered remote workers. “What sets us apart from the larger competitors is our white glove service delivery. We care about our customers’ experience and go that extra mile to ensure the highest service delivery possible. This means being accessible to clients when they have questions, concerns, or require assistance,” said Raul Terrazas, manager of information technology at MMC. “With RingCentral, we are now able to seamlessly communicate with clients from virtually anywhere using our office phone, mobile, or PC. Given how many employee workflows we’ve been able to improve across our company, how much visibility we’ve gained into our client communications, and how much money we’ve saved — not to mention how effortless the implementation itself was — my only regret is not migrating MMC to RingCentral sooner.” In the company’s next unified communications transformation phase, MMC’s IT team plans to roll out RingCentral MVP to their sales and support teams and optimize those operations with the RingCentral for Salesforce integration. This integration will enable them to consolidate platforms for the company’s agents, reduce the number of vendor relationships for Terrazas’ team to manage, and streamline agent workflows for added speed and efficiency. “We are thrilled to work with MMC on their cloud transformation—leveraging the strengths of our unified communications platform,” said Carson Hostetter, chief revenue officer at RingCentral. “By shifting to RingCentral, MMC is driving greater operational efficiencies and improvements in both customer and employee experiences.” About MMC California-based Human Resources Outsourcing company MMC was established over 40 years ago for the purpose of providing HR Outsourcing & Consulting solutions to improve business performance.
