Flexible Work and the Value of Compliance Automation

This IDC Perspective discusses flexible work and the value of compliance automation. Flexibility within working models is on the rise, and market pressures in talent competition are pushing flexibility into talent planning, sourcing, and policies whether organizations realize it or not. Even when an organization employs command-and-control models for management decisions, talent competition forces it to be more flexible in geographic sourcing to ensure strong talent pools. Regardless of where flexibility is in working models, it is increasing pressure on organizations through increased levels of compliance complexity, for which automated and adaptable compliance engines prove essential to save time, better manage resources, and optimize risk against losses, errors, and audits. "Compliance is more than an afterthought in the era of flexible work models," says Zachary Chertok, research manager for Employee Experience and interim for Modern HR Strategies and Solutions, IDC. "Compliance is foundational to organizations being able to imagine and implement flexible work models across diversifying employee types arriving at and working from variable geographies. Automating compliance management and backing it with AI-powered analytics and modeling are fundamental in building organizational capacity for flexible employment characteristics."
