Compliance in 2013: Are You Prepared? Sage HRMS January Webcasts:
The Benefits of Compliance to HR Organizations: Identifying and Adopting Best Practices
Compliance–the very thought of implementing an HR “compliance system” typically strikes terror in the minds of HR managers and IT professionals alike. Attend this live webcast and learn what an HR best practice compliance system consists of, its benefits to your HR organization, and how to achieve it cost-effectively.
Why pay and benefits aren’t enough to prevent turnover
Sure, competitive pay and top-notch benefits are great, but new research suggests they’re not enough to keep top performers from jumping ship. Sixty-seven percent of U.S. employees are staying with their current employer because of a “work/life fit,” according to a recent study by the American Psychological Association. That’s more than the number of workers who said salary (59%) or benefits (60%) were their primary reasons for their loyalty.
Is Your HR Team Making This Hiring Mistake?
The hiring process can be a difficult time regardless of the kind of position or number of placements being handled. Every person in a company forms helps contribute to the support network that holds the company together, and the failure of one individual could result in far-reaching repercussions for the rest of the establishment. With that in mind, HR personnel understand that the decisions they make regarding job offers could make a dramatic difference in the organization as a whole.
Payroll Card Conveniences
Cashing in on the convenience of a payroll card is beneficial to both employers and staff members alike. These payroll cards are an alternative payroll processing option, where instead of issuing a paper check or directly depositing money into a worker’s account on a regular basis; funds are electronically issued to a specific debit card in the person’s name. These cards function much the same way as a conventional debit account, but they do come with added perks for companies and consumers that use them.
