Companies are ordering No Boundaries for all of their managers and senior leadership.

 

Where else can you get information on ways to save money on labor spending?


Barry B. Rubin, Ph.D. President Time Systems, A DirectHR Technologies Company
Board of Directors / Independent Time & Labor Management Association

"As labor and associated compliance expenditure continue to escalate, many companies simply will not have the ability to compete in the global marketplace without modern workforce labor analytics & processes.  In the modern economy, the most negligible oversight can have dire consequences on the long range success of a corporation.   The anti-venom of course is data.   In No Boundaries, Lisa Disselkamp gives corporate leaders a comprehensive source of guidance and technical know-how to capture and use labor data technology to better manage organizations and assure long-term business success. No Boundaries provides proven, real-world advice for building a "Data Is for Everyone, Everything, and Everywhere" culture in your entire organization."

"No Boundaries is the only comprehensive source of information on time and labor management technology."


Roger Smith, CPP Rochester Hills, MI August 26, 2008

"As someone who is familiar with the old "time and attendance" systems, I was surprised to learn all the capabilities of the new "Time and Labor Management" systems.  This book goes into great detail about their many capabilities, and most importantly, about how they can be used to increase productivity.  The author also covers the essentials of system evaluation and implementation.  If you have an employee population to manage, read this book and keep it on your bookshelf!"


Nick Whiteley - Chief Technical Officer, UK- August 27, 2009

"I believe this book is a significant contribution to the workforce management market, and even seasoned players within this market should get benefit from reading this book.  Of particular benefit will be any organisations either looking to procure, roll-out or maximise the benefit from a workforce management/Time and Attendance solution.  Narrow perceptions of its value and reach will be widened and the true value of these systems made clear.  I also feel that Independent Software Vendors developing these systems should not assume they posses all of the valuable insights this book provides."


Dr. Jock St. John "singen", California Posted on Amazon August, 2009

"The author has laid out the argument and pathway for taking workforce data and turning it into intelligence.  In a very practical, easy to follow style, she shows how management short changes itself by not utilizing the intelligence that underlies the data they collect on the workforce.  Success is seldom achieved through one master stroke.  It is more often the dogged application of intelligence.  Edison allegedly had a sign in his office that said, "It is remarkable how far some people will go to avoid thought."  Watson's IBM motto was simply, "Think".  Lisa has put those ideas into practice by showing management how to think about people.

"I manage a large diverse population of Healthcare employees.  I will be using this book as a reference guide I am certain.  We will be upgrading to a new system soon and this book will be a resource that I will use often."
