"40% of small business executives say payroll, benefits, compliance, and people management is "the worst" part of their jobs. Legacy HR practices are outdated and risky, and most of their software is clunky and siloed. The reality is that there is no longer a need for a traditional HR department. Almost all its responsibilities can be automated. SMBs need only an individual or small team to do what robots can't: manage employee experience and make it a competitive advantage. That's people operations.

Boost Productivity: Measure and improve your people with efficient, digital tools Scale Culture: Making the employee experience efforts measurable and efficient . Plans and templates to guide each stage of your journey, for businesses with twenty employees, two hundred, and everywhere in between."--
