Wasting Time? Time is wasted when:- A group of people must wait for one person.- A Team cannot readily access the same document or data.- A Task must be redone due to insufficient supervision.
'Horizontal' Software may be called a Suite - or a Platform. - It is very flexible & made to Create new information.- Can be used to create Vertical (specific) Applications.- An example would be 'Adobe Creative Suite'or MS Office.Vertical Software is developed for a specific set of Tasks.
The Platform is Broad & flexible by Design.- WYSIWYG Design tools for Novices autogenerates code.- Powerful Editors allow Experts to further customize.- Includes an underlying and thoroughly integrated database.- Robust, multiuser access without onerous fees.
Wasting Talent? Talent is wasted when:- An Expert is assigned a task that is suitable for a Novice.- A Novice is assigned a Task that way over his/her head.- A Novice that is eager to learn new skills is denied access.- Team members are pigeonholed. Latent talent, undeveloped.
There is another 'Great Divide' and that is the one between the Haves and the Have Nots. Younicycle is affordably priced for any business, not just the 'Fortunate 500'. Available as a SaaS (online) or as a Server package.
'Vertical' Software is often called an 'Application'. - It is typically developed for a specific set of tasks.- Is 'powered by' the underlying Horizontal Platform.- An example would be 'Recruiting' or 'Benefit Enrollment'.
Wasting Money? Money is wasted when:- Multiple software packages must be purchased.- Multiple licenses or 'seats' must be purchased for each.- Multiple user interfaces must be learned (extra training).
The Great Divide is Knowledge. If you have the required depth of Knowledge, you can accomplish difficult tasks but without it, you will either 'give up', assign or pay an Expert or purchase yet another limited use software application.
Cost? 1) Server package for $400. No limit on number of users.2) Online vsn (SaaS) = $480 per year (3 users).3) Custom programming from $25 to $75 per hour.
Many spokes. Younicycle's framework will allow you to create many types of Vertical Applications, defined only by your imagination. An Actuary - or a Recruiter, a Benefit Consutant or Insurance Carrier can create compelling, plug-in Solutions.
Need an Edge? Many possibilities:1) Create Customer Solutions & give to them for Productivity.2) Create and sell as a suppemental source of revenue.3) Create, give it away - but charge for added customization.4) Become a Partner. Sell Younicycle + your Solutions.
One wheel. We've designed the IT Vehicle so that:1) Experts can work side-by-side with Novices.2) WYSIWYG Tools auto generate complex code.3) Each 'mini-app' you create can be shared (or sold).
Getting there is the hard part ... but we've made the trip much easier. We have spent many years 'blazing a trail' and building the IT vehicle that can get you there, safely & affordably. Yes, it is easier - but Easy is a relative term.
Start here. Get there. It's a given that you want to provide superior service for your customers and always keep a responsible. technological edge. But how? Younicycle can give you that edge - & be white-labeled for your identity.
It's coming. Like it or not, your competitors are standing outside your customers' front door and can be invited in with a few clicks of a mouse. We have the high tech and you, the relationships. Let's talk while the sun is still out.
Personalizing your Employee Communications is critical whenever personal Knowledege is required. Use Retirement as an example. Why would an employee care about John or Jane Doe's retirement security? Meaningless, inaccurate information is not only irrelevant, it's dangerous. Do it right.
The 3 Steps for effective Employee Communications:1) Inform: Let them know it exists. Where? When?2) Educate Employees: What is it? How does it work?3) Personalize the content. John Doe is not real.
Employers: Collaborate internally, with us or other Vendors 1) We (or other Vendors) can provide Full service2) Do it yourself (DIY). You can always ask for help.3) Initial full service -> then DIY in the future.
Your Employee Benefits may be very Cool - but will be ineffective if they remain Hidden. Employee Benefit Statements help your Group understand & appreciate their Personal, Big Picture. We have more than 20 years of experience and know all the possible pitfalls.

Human Resource Departments are rarely lacking in Group Communications Projects. The words, "Gosh, I wish we had something to do..." are usually spoken only in jest. Juggling your many responsibilities requires productive utilization of your most valuable resources; employees & their time.
We have more than 20 years of Employee & Group Communications experience & we may have a solution in waiting. If we do, why reinvent the wheel?
HR Communications has completed more than 100 uniqure & diverse types of projects over the years, with employee benefit statements being but one of that group.
Nearly every Employee communications project includes at least one of the Steps: Inform ... Educate ... Personalize.
We've included a smattering of current & previous communication Projects, so browse around this section of the site. If you spot something that is 'kind of like' what you need, let us know.
We know how to adapt & move quickly, affordably, productively.
We believe in the Power of Personalization, but sometimes it's overkill. Simply communicating to your Employees that something exists or is about to happen can often be quite enough. Below are a few Employee Communications examples with abbreviated 'how we did it' explanations. Any of these are available without charge as Starter Examples - within Youncycle (Server or SaaS).
The depth of Employee communication depends on the topic, but the goals are usually common. Teach your employees: 'what it is - how it works - what to do'. This approach need not be restricted to employee benefits. It could be as simple as how to fill out a form - or - an entire Training module.
- Employee Ideas & Suggestions- Employee & Group Training- Employee Orientation- Recruiting & recruiting statements- Track Education reimbursement- Reduction in force communications
If it has anything to do with Employee Financial decisions, then Personalized Communications is the impact method. Ask yourself one question; would you be happy if your Bank decided a Chris Doe Account Statement was 'good enough'?
Personalization is the switch for our mental lightbulb.
Flip that switch.
