When I attended HR2010, I was afforded the opportunity to learn about a fairly new enhancement that was introduced with EHP4: the Overpayment Recovery Solution. This enhancement would allow customers to manage the overpayment (claims) process a little better. Clearing claims would no longer be required and a set of business rules would drive the recovery process. This seemed like a better approach than the original method. Well, not so much. Right after the conference, my client was migrating to SAP and they wanted to implement this solution. I worked on this solution for them and the outcome produced some very undesirable results. We turned this functionality off immediately and before the end of the first payroll!

After reflecting on HR2017, I must say it was another dynamic and successful conference this year. In addition to enjoying the warm Orlando sunshine, we learned a lot thanks to the more than 60 sessions, dozens of case studies and numerous exhibits.

But if I had to hone in on just a few key takeaways, here are four for you. 

Millennials are curious minded people. They want possibilities and want to be in control of their life. A key factor in organizations not retaining millennials is because they are uncertain about their career path. Sure, the position they are currently in may be great, but what’s next? How long do they have to wait to move up? What do they need to do to reach the next step? This doubt brings uncertainty of a future within their current company. And once that doubt takes root, employees start looking elsewhere for an organization that will provide them with that much-needed assurance.

Being late to the party doesn’t mean you can’t be the main attraction.
