Value in HCM ripples from the epicenter outward
Nucleus has found that value in human capital management (HCM) ripples from the epicenter outward. At the very core of this epicenter of HCM is the greatest essential of employing people, payroll, which delivers the greatest value in deployments of HCM technology. The rest of workforce management (WFM) constitutes the remaining essentials rippling immediately from payroll and directly affecting it to deliver much additional value – which then decreases precipitously as activity ripples ever farther from the epicenter to entail functionality such as talent management.
