Enhanced VisualVault Human Resources Employee Content Management Features Critical to Maintaining Compliance
TEMPE, Ariz., August 15, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VisualVault, a leader in digital information management, has introduced the most recent version of its employee content management solution for Human Resources departments. This update of the VisualVault HR offering includes an enhanced set of compliance features that are applicable to businesses of all sizes and across industries, but particularly well-suited to organizations in highly-regulated industries. While the enhanced offering is well-suited to serve the needs of all sizes of businesses and industries, it is particularly valuable for mid-sized to small businesses in manufacturing, construction, healthcare, transportation, and other highly regulated industries. For these smaller organizations that do not employ an HRIS system but face demanding compliance requirements, the newest VisualVault solution delivers a set of features that address the ever-increasing retention and compliance mandates associated with Human Resources documentation. VisualVault CEO Avner Schneur says, "HR organizations bear the burden of meeting a volume of complex records retention requirements. And, without the proper technology assets, maintaining compliance can be a challenge of great proportion." Schneur goes on to say, "Our current document management solution provides the complete suite of features required to efficiently keep HR records organized, distributed as needed and retained as required." One example of regulations that create complexity is OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) regulations, which are prominent in highly regulated industries. Some OSHA regulations mandate the retention of documents for five years, while others OSHA regulations mandate that employee health records are maintained for thirty years. The complexity, breadth, and details that define retention across government and industry bodies demand an advanced technology solution. The newest VisualVault HR offering delivers proper organization and retention of these records, custom alerts when a relevant retention or renewal date associated with critical records is met and other functions that deliver successful stewardship throughout the life of critical HR records. VisualVault delivers a full breadth of advanced digital process automation (DPA), business process management (BPM), enterprise content management (ECM) and content services platform (CSP) solutions in a range of vertical markets and horizontal applications such as Human Resources and Finance. About VisualVault VisualVault is a company and AI-enabled, cloud-based enterprise content management (ECM) platform that is low-code, highly-configurable and architected to process high-volume, high-value data and transactions. VisualVault structures unstructured data via its intelligent forms, puts that data to work with workflow automation, displays data and insights with its advanced analytics suite and delivers advanced document management functionality. These capabilities collectively make VisualVault well-suited to rapidly and efficiently lead organizations through digital transformation processes.

17 Steps To Efficient Digital Hiring Without Losing The Human Touch
Digital tools and automation can make recruitment faster, but they can also strip away the personal interactions that candidates value most. Striking the right balance between technology and human connection can build both the trust and efficiency needed to attract and retain top talent. Below, 17 members of Forbes Human Resources Council share how to make digital recruitment both streamlined and human-centered. From leveraging AI for repetitive tasks to adding thoughtful personal touches along the way, these strategies can help your HR team simplify its processes without losing authenticity. 1. Let AI Clear The Way For Human Connection Use AI to free up space for the human moments. As AI plays a bigger role in recruitment, it's an opportunity to give recruiters more time to be human. Agentic AI can speed up early steps like resume parsing or prescreens, but it's the one-on-one conversations, follow-ups and insights that make the difference. Tech should create room for more of that, not less. - Curtis Grajeda, LevelUP Human Capital Solutions 2. Streamline Tasks And Save Conversations For People Automate the transactional, and humanize the personal. Use technology to streamline scheduling, screening and follow-ups, but never outsource the conversations that matter. A quick, authentic call from a recruiter can turn a qualified candidate into an enthusiastic hire. - Dina DeMarco, Hueman People Solutions 3. Free Recruiters' Time To Build Authentic Trust Use AI and automation to handle repetitive tasks—template communications, workflow automation and timely applicant dispositioning. This frees recruiters' time to build trust, foster authentic connections and match talent intentionally to opportunities. Streamline applications with pre-filled forms, especially to support internal mobility where workloads are high or digital access is limited. - Jennifer Rozon, McLean & Company 4. Add A Personal Touch To A Digital Process Automate repetitive tasks like screening, but keep personal connections through timely, personalized communication. A quick, thoughtful email or call can humanize even the most streamlined digital process. - William Stonehouse, Crawford Thomas Recruiting 5. Automate Logistics To Focus On Real Dialogue Automate administrative tasks so both parties can focus on a meaningful exchange. Use technology to handle scheduling and logistics, then create genuine dialogue where interviewers share authentic insights about company culture, team dynamics and growth opportunities while candidates discuss their aspirations and potential contributions. This mutual transparency builds trust on both sides. - Sherry Martin Forbes Human Resources Council is an invitation-only organization for HR executives across all industries. Do I qualify? 6. Know Your Company Before You Recruit One tip to simplify the digital process without sacrificing the human touch is to 'know thyself." Great companies hire successfully because they have insight into their culture, brand, weaknesses and strengths as it applies to talent. Having self-awareness as a company allows you to best deploy digital resources while eliminating time-consuming and less-valued tasks. - John Allen, G&A Partners 7. Give Candidates Value, Even Without An Offer Offer resources that give something back to the job seeker. Typically, candidates want feedback, which isn't always possible. Instead, consider incorporating assessments that provide insights into skills and career development pathways. This way, even those who don't get hired still feel valued as part of the process. - Caitlin MacGregor, Plum 8. Lead With People, Not Platforms Start human, stay human. The first touchpoint—especially the initial interview—should always be with a real person, not a video prompt or AI bot. Candidates exit fast when they feel like a number. Use tech to reduce friction behind the scenes, but never outsource the respect and connection people crave and deserve upfront. - Nicole Brown, Ask Nikki HR 9. Show Personality Early With Video Intros Use video intros. Let candidates record a short clip sharing who they are beyond the resume. It speeds up screening while keeping the process personal, so you spot a genuine fit and personality early on. - JacLyn Pagnotta, Rose Associates Inc. 10. Step Beyond The Interview To See The Person Let's focus on balancing automation with real connections. While tools can handle the logistics, sometimes it's valuable to step back from the typical interviewer-candidate dynamic. It helps to see the person beyond the process, making it easier to judge a fit more naturally. - Smiti Bhatt Deorah, 11. Map The Process To Maximize Human Moments Digitize the parts of the process that the candidate may not need or expect human interaction. Focusing the heavier resources for human interaction on the parts of the process that are most meaningful for the candidate's experience to interact with a recruitment/talent acquisition colleague. - Angela O'Donovan, UCC 12. Use Employee Videos To Add A Human Face One tip is to provide quick video clips (between one and three minutes) from various employees and hiring managers at the company that candidates can access throughout the entire hiring process. These videos would highlight information about the company, benefits, culture, typical interview process and so on. This provides a glimpse of humanity to applicants as they navigate the recruitment process. - Janet Vardeman, Avanade 13. Personalize Every Candidate Interaction I believe that one of the simplest ways to humanize the digital recruitment process is by embedding personalized communication throughout. Using the candidate's name, referencing their experience and tailoring messages to the role they applied for creates a more engaging, respectful experience, showing candidates they're valued, not just another application. - Eiman Alhammadi, ADNOC 14. Bring Humanity Into Virtual Recruiting A great way to humanize the digital recruitment process is to incorporate more personal interactions, even in virtual settings. For example, you can offer virtual coffee chats with potential team members or have a real-time Q&A session with the hiring manager. Adding personalized messages or feedback during the application process can also make candidates feel valued and connected. - Sheena Minhas, ST Microelectronics 15. Pair Automated Screenings With Personal Follow-Ups Automate initial screenings but personalize follow-ups with video messages or live chats from recruiters. This maintains efficiency while showing candidates they're more than a resume. A simple 'We see you' moment keeps the process human, building trust and improving candidate engagement. - CJ Eason, 16. Let AI Agents Handle The Busywork In this day and age, most recruitment processes are already automated, so take it one step further and leverage agentic AI to autonomously manage the process. This allows recruiters to focus on what matters most: people. From screening to scheduling, AI agents can handle the operational load with speed and consistency to free HR teams to spend more time on the candidate experience, not busywork. - Dr. Timothy J. Giardino, 17. Use Digital For Logistics And Humans For Personalized Outreach Automate the process, not the connection. Use digital tools to streamline logistics—but personalize the outreach. A timely note, a real name and a thoughtful message—those small moments remind candidates they're more than data points. - Bala Sathyanarayanan, Greif Inc.

Larsa Pippen Slams Criticism Of Overfilled Appearance
Last week, Larsa Pippen found herself at the center of public attention after a photo of her on Fox 5's Good Night New York went viral. Larsa, 51, was criticized for her appearance, with several internet users — including cosmetic professionals, like Dr. Mai Kaga — sharing their thoughts. Kaga, who is a board-certified aesthetics provider, said that the Real Housewives star looked 'noticeably overfilled' in a now-viral video. 'Larsa Pippen, Real Housewives of Miami, has all the money in the world, and ended up looking like this,' she said, suggesting that Larsa's filler had 'gone wrong.' Before long, Larsa hopped into the comments to address all the talk around her appearance. 'Honey I had PRP and had an allergic reaction so chill out,' she wrote. Larsa doubled down in a video shared to her Instagram stories, in which she said, 'Hey guys, you can relax. I had PRP on my face a couple days ago, so my face was a bit swollen. It looks like it's coming down. So you guys can just calm down.' And later on, the reality star shared another video addressing the photo. "So, I feel like that photo went viral… I'm wondering if someone made it look like that, because this is what my face looks like, you guys. I am on TV, so you know what I look like," she said. Kaga later responded to Larsa's original Instagram comment, writing in a separate video caption, 'Overfilled vs allergic reaction? The biggest culprit here is nobody saying NO. No to unnecessary treatments, no to too much filler, no the wrong procedures. Whose fault is it? The patient or the injector?' Well then. Let us know what you think in the comments.
