Attract and retain top talent within the Gen X and Gen Y workforce

From work-life balance demands and technology requirements to performance motivators, career goals, and the general definition of career satisfaction, today’s younger generations have a markedly different perspective than that of previous generations. Lawson can help your organization attract and retain top talent from both the Gen X and Gen Y. Our solutions help you find and align the right candidates for the right positions that maximize each candidate’s skill levels. Plus, we’ll help you automate and streamline training and career pathing that will keep these employees engaged to their highest potential.

Automate human resources functions

Lawson helps you automate core HR functions and administrative processes for a high degree of efficiency and accuracy. Automate business processes that support the personnel lifecycle, such as transfers, promotions, and terminations. Automate recruiting, position and assignment management, as well as the tracking of training and development initiatives. And automate administrative processes such as time and absence management, benefits administration and payroll.

Effectively track and manage workforce by position as well as by head count

Different departments track employees in different ways. Where some may track and report head count by cost center, others may do so by position title or role in a certain managerial hierarchy. Consultants and part-time employees add extra variables to the mix. These variables can lead to discrepancies in reported job openings and actual head count totals. Lawson solutions are designed to help HR reliably establish who is a worker, and track and report on these workers no matter how they are defined by various departments, to help ensure a more accurate picture of the workforce head count as well as of actual open positions across the enterprise.

More efficiently manage employee performance, training and career development

A large part of your success depends on making sure the right employees are in the right positions for their skills and aptitudes, and fostering employee development throughout the employee lifecycle. Lawson can help, with solutions designed to facilitate the evaluation and measurement of workforce performance and employee development. We’ll help you recognize, develop, and retain top performers while reducing attrition and flight risk. In addition, we’ll help you design training plans based upon employee, management, and strategic planning inputs, giving your employees a motivating line of sight into future career opportunities.

Prepare for the workforce retirement surge

As more and more workers in the Baby Boom generation starts to reach retirement age, recruiters and HR managers are starting to realize that they need to do more than just react as hiring needs arise. Instead, they need to plan ahead, not only to manage through oncoming waves of retirement, but also to mitigate the turnover risks associated with hiring new generations of workers. Lawson solutions are designed to help your recruiters and HR managers understand the steps required to have the right staff in place and plan ahead, to minimize the chance of being caught off guard.
