🎧 HR Insights: Why agility is the new superpower for HR teams
HR’s golden age is now, but the winners will be those willing to move fast, learn continuously and embrace change. In a world of rapid shifts — new technology, new workforce expectations, evolving work models — HR must become flexible and ready to reinvent itself. Listening to employees, acting on feedback, and creating a “culture flywheel” of trust and innovation have become as important as classic HR tasks like hiring or payroll. Read more.
💡 HR Tips & Tricks
Tip of the Day: Start building an “HR event roadmap.” List out 2–3 key industry conferences or summits for the next 12–18 months that align with your company’s goals (e.g. leadership development, DEI, talent acquisition). Then match those events with internal planning milestones to make sure you get budget, time, and follow-up aligned well ahead.
Trick of the Day: Use a “Feedback-Before-Fix”” mini workshop: once every quarter, invite a small cross-section of employees to share feedback on one HR process (onboarding, reviews, benefits, etc.). Don’t try to solve everything in that session — just collect the feedback, categorize issues, and schedule actual fixes for later. This keeps feedback manageable and shows employees their voices matter, without overloading HR.
🧾 HR Case Files: Tyler Technologies acquires Edu.Link Incorporated
Tyler Technologies has acquired Edu.Link, a long-time provider of educator evaluation, compliance tracking, and workflow automation tools. The acquisition folds Edu.Link’s flagship products, including PAETEP (teacher evaluation portal) and Comply (compliance & admin-workflow manager), into Tyler’s school-ERP and HR stack. This gives school districts deeper, unified support for performance reviews, staff clearances, professional-development tracking, compliance mandates, and automated administrative tasks like reimbursements and volunteer tracking.
Key Takeaways
This move signals increasing demand for integrated HR, compliance, and workflow solutions in K-12 education administration.
Consolidating tools under one ERP reduces administrative overhead, offers better data visibility, and improves audit-readiness for schools.
Vendors that combine HR, compliance, evaluation and workflow automation are likely to outpace niche tools as institutions seek unified platforms.
