StaffConnect Group, provider of the world’s leading enterprise mobile employee engagement platform, today announced the availability of a new eBook entitled, “Can Technology Solve the Employee Engagement Crisis?” The new eBook proves out why this is no longer just an HR issue, drawing the direct inarguable link between a lack of employee engagement and the negative impact on business performance, reflected in declining corporate profits, shareholder value and the bottom line – by as much as 202%.
The eBook states that according to Gallup, only 13 percent of employees worldwide are actually engaged at work. The situation is slightly better in the U.S. but not much-less than one-third (32 percent) of American workers report feeling involved and enthusiastic about their job. And research by Temkin Group shows that as company size increases, engagement decreases. Comprehensive research and statistics from world renowned authorities including Bain, the Bureau of National Affairs, Deloitte, Forbes, and Glassdoor, among others, further demonstrates the employee engagement “crisis” being faced today, around the world.
However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The eBook further substantiates that in a world that’s increasingly digitally driven and focused, the key to employee engagement is integrally connected to technology. Today’s workforce is no longer tied to their desks, working on the road, from home offices, and from other non-traditional settings, as well as geographically distributed. And, millennials dependence on social interactive technology to communicate and gather information has had an increasing influence in the workplace. A slick user experience is a must, and its not just the millennials that have become expert in quickly finding an alternative if deemed otherwise. Sleek, customizable, mobile-based solutions that support these paradigms are already available, and will be those that are most rapidly and successfully adopted. And not surprisingly, analytics is critical. A sincere hope and belief in an organization’s employee engagement success is no longer enough. Organizations must employ a technology platform that allows them to effectively measure engagement, so that they can use this information to make true cultural shifts to improve their employees’ experience of the company.

Netatmo Welcome Now Does Pet Detection
Posted in Commentary with tags Netatmo on July 20, 2017 by itnerdIf you have a pet and a security camera in your home, chances are that your pet would set off the camera simply by walking about. Seeing as 41% of Canadian households have at least one dog, while 37% of households have at least 1 cat, that’s a bit of a problem. Netatmo has a solution for that that is now available for their Welcome security camera. It’s called Pet Detection.
Welcome’s unique Pet Detection feature enables to track motion caused by pets. Thanks to its Artificial Intelligence algorithm, Welcome tells specifically when an animal passes in front of the camera, in real-time. Users can choose to ignore motion alerts caused by pets to prevent false alerts or keep them running to check on their favorite companions when they are not home.
Thanks to its superior face recognition technology, the Netatmo Welcome also alerts users on their smartphone about intruders, complete with a picture of their face and a video of the intruder.
I reviewed the Wecome camera recently. Please click here to see what I thought of it.
