Oyster | November 07, 2023
Oyster acknowledges the fact that while global employment and distributed hiring offer immense potential, they also present complex challenges, including legal and compliance issues, tax considerations, local competition, and employee expectations. To mitigate these issues, the company has unveiled a comprehensive range of offerings, such as Oyster Embedded, Oyster API, and integrations with industry-leading platforms like Zapier, Personio, and Slack.
With Oyster Embedded, industry partners can integrate global recruitment, payroll, incentives, and employment analytics into their software platforms, enhancing the user experience with customizable web flows and pre-filled data. Additionally, the Oyster API allows partners to incorporate a wide range of global employment features directly into their products.
Oyster Co-Founder and CEO Tony Jamous remarked.

The Oyster API streamlines integration, enabling partners and customers to connect Oyster with their preferred tools. It empowers partners to embed Oyster in their products and customers to customize it to meet their needs, facilitating efficient data transfers, centralized payroll, and automated processes.
Furthermore, Oyster's Zapier integration, built upon the foundation of the Oyster API, provides customers with a connection to over 5,000 applications. This integration facilitates the efficient transfer of data, such as time off requests and new hire information, from Oyster to applications like MS Teams, Google Sheets, and Asana.
As Oyster Embedded facilitates access to global talent on a broader scale and enhances productivity and efficiency through the Oyster API, introducing new integrations simplifies the process of global employment. With the help of this, people in leadership and HR roles can save time, enhance team productivity, reduce errors, expedite the hiring process, and shift their focus to more impactful tasks.
Notably, the integration with Personio allows companies to synchronize records and time-off data. Besides, the Slack integration provides real-time notifications to managers and teams, facilitating swift actions throughout the employment lifecycle, be it monitoring the onboarding progress of a new hire, approving time off requests, receiving reminders regarding expenses and invoices, or tracking terminations, all within the Slack platform. These new integrations with Slack, Zapier, and Personio complement Oyster's existing array of integrations spanning HRIS, ATS, ERP, expense management, and security platforms.

GlobeNewswire | October 25, 2023
Paylocity (NASDAQ: PCTY), a leading provider of cloud-based HR and payroll software solutions, today introduces two new products, Recognition & Rewards and Employee Voice, to help business leaders and HR teams build culture and employee engagement while attracting and retaining talent more effectively. Building on the company’s track record of innovation, including integrating generative AI in multiple areas of its HCM platform and delivering Community, a social collaboration hub, the two new products announced today bolster strong workplace connections in an environment where employees feel both valued and heard.
To drive employee engagement, Paylocity has announced a comprehensive solution that bridges the recognition and rewards gap, further enhancing productivity and retention. Paylocity’s new Recognition & Rewards product builds on popular peer recognition capabilities that are already part of the Paylocity platform. Recognition & Rewards includes automation to recognize common moments that matter like birthdays or anniversaries, and customization to tailor rewards programs with cash redemption. Employees can also socially celebrate everyday moments of achievement with emojis and likes.
We got a sneak peek at Paylocity's Recognition & Rewards, and it really impressed us. This new feature isn't just about rewards; it's about showing our employees they're valued. It helps bring our team together, beyond just tracking milestones, said Courtney Guppy, Senior Vice President of Human Resources for Crafton Tull. We're excited to incorporate it into our workplace culture, and we believe it will have a positive impact on our team and organization. Paylocity has done a great job with this one!
Unlocking the Power of Employee Feedback
Today, five different generations coexist in the workforce, bringing diverse mindsets and expectations to the office. Paylocity recognizes the pivotal role of organizational culture in talent retention. According to the 2022 Ernst & Young U.S. Generation Survey, more than 90% of employees consider culture a significant factor in their decision to stay with a company. Balancing the diverse interests and opinions of a multi-generational workforce presents a challenge for leaders, where effective communication is key to creating a harmonious workplace.
To address the critical issue of talent retention, Paylocity has introduced Employee Voice, which goes beyond traditional surveys by offering a unique approach to employee engagement and retention. Building on the Paylocity platform’s existing AI capabilities, Employee Voice combines cutting-edge technology with rigorous scientific principles, underpinned by a proprietary, statistically validated engagement model developed by Paylocity's Data Science team. Any organization, regardless of size, can leverage AI to automatically delve into employee sentiment. The resulting data and insights are easily made available to executives and managers to identify key drivers of engagement without overburdening HR teams. Employee Voice offers a foundation of best-practice action items, built from the experiences of more than 36,000 Paylocity clients, to help leaders track progress as they address the needs of their organizations.
Empowering Workers in a Mobile-First World
With today's workforce being more distributed and increasingly reliant on mobile devices, the need for seamless and intuitive mobile access continues to be critical. Acknowledging this shift, Paylocity has rolled out its next-generation mobile app. Building on the success of previous versions, this update includes a modern, intuitive home screen that unifies the information most relevant to each employee—new messages, tasks to complete, timesheets, and even an online hub where they can get important updates from leaders and connect with their peers. Customizable navigation ensures access to individuals’ most-used features via a single tap.
At Paylocity, we are focused on providing innovative solutions that not only envision but deliver the future of HCM today, said Steve Beauchamp, co-CEO of Paylocity. We understand the workplace is evolving, and with it, the needs of employees and organizations. These latest advancements reflect our mission to stay at the forefront of this transformation and push the boundaries of modern HR.
Availability
Recognition & Rewards and Employee Voice will be available in early 2024 for an additional cost. Users can download the new mobile app today at Google Play and App Store. For more information about these products and features, please visit www.paylocity.com.

PR Newswire | October 17, 2023
Avature, a leading provider of innovative Human Capital Management (HCM) software for recruiting and talent management, announces the beta release of its social learning solution to a select group of customers, and a general release before the end of this year.
Industry reports indicate a very low and steadily declining percentage of employees' use of their company learning management system (LMS) on a regular basis. However, HR can reverse this lack of engagement by allowing employees to learn in the same way they have on YouTube, TikTok and other channels. Avature's social learning solution creates this type of user experience by lifting proven design concepts from social media, including the easy creation of user-generated content, the generation of algorithmically driven suggestions, and the use of artificial intelligence.
Avature Learning is expected to promote organizational agility and engagement by facilitating the sharing of know-how, a company's most valuable asset. Intended to complement or replace customers' legacy LMS depending on how it is deployed, this solution allows HR leaders to compensate for the lost interaction between work-from-home employees, ensures knowledge is transferred from one generation to another and helps address the alarming declines in competencies and skills being reported across the educational spectrum.
Providing numerous opportunities to acquire knowledge, Avature Learning offers an employee-centered learning experience, where subject matter experts are able to share critical know-how that might otherwise go undocumented, and content is organically curated based on user feedback and social interaction.
Employees can easily find and recommend user-generated video and audio content as well as traditional training and courses, benchmark their progress against peers, obtain mentorships and create ad hoc meet ups and face-to-face learning sessions. With this solution, employers can effortlessly boost the value of their training programs, better facilitate internal mobility and accelerate time to productivity while lowering turnover.
We believe learning must go beyond traditional L&D programs to remain strategically relevant, shared Dimitri Boylan, Founder and CEO of Avature. The ideal technology should help mine a workforce's wealth of knowledge and facilitate its dispersion. Our customers want to uncover the 'voice of the employee' and bring learning to life, he added.
Industry analyst Josh Bersin was able to see the solution in action and highlighted the benefits of its unique social approach, "The vast amount of corporate learning that takes place is not authored by the training department. It is authored by experts, passionate professionals and peers. So, we need a "social learning" platform that lets people author and upload videos and other forms of content and then quickly and easily check it, publish it and make it easy to find. This is what Avature has built."
Avature Learning also seeks to put HR in control of its digital transformation and offers numerous tactical opportunities to design and deploy processes that grow the company's collective IQ and drive the business toward its strategic objectives. With built-in CRM functionality and real-time analytics, HR teams are provided with the best engagement toolkit to target content, measure employee's progress and ensure they're keeping pace with learning objectives.
From a business standpoint, Josh Bersin agrees the solution's features enable successful knowledge transfer, "I've always believed that 70 to 80 percent of the knowledge and intellectual property within a company is custom to that company's business. Every business process, proprietary tool, and internal procedure represents a custom, internal training need. Platforms like Avature's Learning Hub can tap into this."
Avature's learning solution can seamlessly integrate into customers' existing talent technology ecosystem using Avature's mature and configurable REST endpoints and open API framework. Data from other systems can be imported and used by Avature's workflow engine to promote learning activities for individual employees and data can be easily exported to support onboarding and internal mobility processes in other systems.
With this release, Avature bolsters its Talent Management Suite, adding yet another best-in-class solution to the portfolio that its Global 2000 customer base can implement from a single platform.
