Coronavirus: HR's role
Human Resource Executive
There’s a virus that’s currently ravaging the U.S. So far this season, it’s caused at least 22 million illnesses, 210,000 hospitalizations and 12,000 deaths.
The cause of this scourge is the general influenza virus, which is wreaking more havoc than usual across the country this winter. In 2018, the flu cost U.S. companies $18 billion in lost productivity, reports Gartner. However, a different virus has received far more media coverage and is stirring much more anxiety: the coronavirus, which has caused a near economic shutdown in China and has prompted travelers returning from that country to undergo special screening and possible quarantine.

Human Resource Executive
Are we headed for a recession?
As the coronavirus spreads across the globe, markets have taken a hit; notably, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 900 points last week—ending one of the worst weeks since the 2008 financial crisis before rebounding a bit this week with news of possible coronavirus stimulus.
How impactful is the spread of the virus going to be on the health of the economy? Should employers and employees be concerned about their retirement plans?

HR Exchange
Digital transformation is top of a lot of boardroom discussions today for obvious reasons such as higher quality products and services, employee productivity enhancements, operational efficiencies and the inevitable cost savings.

Navigating mergers, acquisitions and coronavirus
Human Resource Executive
Steve Boese writes, "In a 'normal' world, M&A activity and subsequent fallout would dominate the HR and workplace conversation. But, as everyone is well aware, nothing about the last few weeks has been 'normal.' As of right now, the most important issue impacting work, workplaces and people across the globe is the increasingly scary and spreading coronavirus, or COVID-19."

Tech is integral to HR services, but adoption hurdles remain
HR DIVE
When it comes to employee benefits, confusion and underutilization remain a constant hurdle for employers. In fact, about one-third of employees either know nothing about or don't fully understand their healthcare coverage, according to 2019 Maestro Health research.
And as a Green Circle Life survey revealed, many are turning to tech to address those issues. Experts have warned, however, that employers must be strategic in choosing such solutions; when workplace apps become numerous, employee adoption can fall, along with productivity.
Above all else, HR may want to prioritize quality communication around benefits and other HR services.

How HR can bring customer experience techniques to benefits
Forbes
The focus on customer experience has been gaining popularity in recent years. The term CX refers to the experience a person has with a brand or company at every touch point along the buyer’s journey. A touch point is considered to be any interaction a company has when dealing with a brand. It can be pre-sale (e.g., social media or an ad), purchasing (e.g., salesperson or packaging) or post-sale (e.g., customer service or billing).
At its core, you can think of CX as what someone feels about your brand when they are interacting with it. An outstanding CX makes everything easy and enjoyable.
To look at benefits through the same lens, think about the experience your employee has while they use their company-sponsored benefits.
