đź§  HR Trend Spotlight: TUI Uses WalkMe to Make HR Systems Smarter and Simpler

TUI has integrated WalkMe's digital adoption platform into its HR processes, making it easier for employees to use internal tools without extra training. This move is more than a tech upgrade—it's a shift in how HR supports day-to-day work. Instead of long onboarding manuals or complicated help desks, WalkMe adds real-time support and automated guidance directly into the software interface. The result is faster task completion, fewer mistakes, and a lower volume of routine support queries. HR teams now spend less time answering repetitive questions and more time on strategic work. TUI is also seeing a better return on investment in its software because employees are actually using it the way it's intended. Read more.

🎧 HR Insights

Tech trends like AI-powered decision-making, immersive training tools, and predictive analytics are reshaping how HR works. While these changes are exciting, they also require HR leaders to take a more active role in deciding how tools are used—and why.

đź’ˇ HR Tips & Tricks

Tip of the Day: Start a simple archive where your team documents what worked—policy updates that improved compliance, hiring campaigns that attracted better candidates, or benefits tweaks that boosted retention. Over time, this turns into a quick-reference playbook you can reuse, refine, and share with leadership.

Trick of the Day: Once a quarter, invite employees to “interview” the HR team. They can ask about company policies, share ideas, or express concerns. This builds transparency, encourages dialogue, and helps HR hear what matters most to employees—without waiting for exit interviews or surveys.

đź§ľ HR Case Files - Choosing Between Upgrades and Customization

StarGarden outlines a common decision many HR leaders face: stick with a system and customize it—or upgrade to a newer version. Each path has pros and cons. In many cases, the choice comes down to whether the existing system can support long-term goals without workarounds. Customization works well in the short term but may limit flexibility down the line. Meanwhile, upgrades give access to new tools and better analytics, which can help HR stay aligned with business priorities.

Key Takeaways

  • Choose upgrades when scalability and integration matter most.

  • Customize when internal processes are unique and well-established.

  • Don’t forget to factor in maintenance, retraining, and support availability.

  • Build a transition plan before making the switch, whichever path you choose.
