Innovation, Changing the Way HR Works

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The recent ‘State of HR in the Philippines’ report published by Sprout Solutions ranked the major pain points Filipino HR (human resource) practitioners face. Garnering the most votes from a thousand participants are recruitment (56.90%), timekeeping (40.30%), and payroll (38.90%). These identified pain points, which can be really tedious and time-consuming, are actual problems for companies operating in the Philippines regardless of its size.

Good news is technology is continuously changing the business landscape. Today, these HR administrative tasks can be automated through cloud-based software solutions that positively impact productivity and efficiency -- generally improving a company’s bottom line.

According to Patrick Gentry, CEO and Co-founder of tech startup Sprout Solutions, companies are now recognizing the value of investing in software tools that streamline HR and payroll processes which ultimately, enhance productivity, develop employee-employer relations and meet the changing demands of today’s workplace.

HR automation is now a huge deal for organizations as it can bring fundamental changes in the roles HR play for business growth. HR professionals can now spend more time establishing insights that provide added value for their workforce as technology gradually eliminates the administrative aspect of their job,” added Gentry.

Dong Abay, Joe Crepúsculo set the stage on fire in Posporo(s)

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Filipino poet, artist and rockstar Dong Abay and Spanish musician Joe Crepúsculo keep the flame of the best live music burning when they share the limelight in Posporo(s) on October 28, 9 p.m. at The Cabin 420 Bar & Bistro, A.Venue in Poblacion, Makati City.

Posporo(s), a series of free concerts organized by the Embassy of Spain and the Instituto Cervantes de Manila with the support of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, aims to showcase the best talents in the Spanish and Philippine indie music scene to give the two sides an opportunity to experience each other's music.

After three other gigs in June, July and September, it is now Crepúsculo's and Abay's turn to take over the most eclectic match in the two-year-journey project. Over the past few months, 14 bands from the two countries and several local DJs have ignited Metro Manila with magical music matches, the name given to one of the newest and most ambitious projects in the cultural field. The live music events have made it possible to bridge the gap between differences in style, artistic forms and disciplines as well as distance.

From being an attitude towards the industry to a style that is almost the definition of a generation encompassing all kinds that pop and rock can offer, the landscape of the Spanish indie music has changed over time. It thrives in different ways whose only shared feature is the strength of the new. In this framework of renewed energy, Crepúsculo is synonymous with fiesta. Numerous Spanish artists like him have recovered the spirit of the DJs of the Ruta del Bakalao whose disc jockeying was both a performance and a musical gig. However, along came also cumbia, flamenco, rap and a break in style where anything goes as long as it makes him dance. His album Supercrepus was named best Spanish album of the year in 2009 by the prestigious magazine Rockdelux, validating a huge talent capable of billing pop songs with astonishing ease. He performs in Manila with his eighth album Disco Duro.
