| Succeeding in Global Compensation and Benefits |
| By Maura Pallera, Salary.com |
| The key to effective global compensation management for organizations operating overseas is to recognize that every country is different and a one size-fits-all approach does not translate to success in the global economy. Being aware of the specific pay and benefits practices around the world and taking a data-driven approach to compensation management can provide a cost-effective and efficient solution to managing complexities in compensating the work force. |
|
| Strategies to Successfully Manage Absenteeism |
| By Gil Sullivan, Kronos Incorporated |
| Automated scheduling tools in a total absence management solution allow managers to quickly identify the most appropriate and cost-effective replacements for an absent employee — based on seniority, skills and actual hours worked to manage overtime — while minimizing operational disruptions. Work demands continue to be met, labor costs are contained and productivity is maintained. |
|
| Consumer Health Care Finance Technology will be Driven by Employers |
| By Teresa O’Keefe, ConnectYourCare |
| Employers can look for solutions that provide them a migration path to consumerdirected health care by exploring the philosophies of account based health plans and HSAs. Flexibility is important when considering long term relationships with health plans and flexibility for their employees to maintain their HSA portal, even if they no longer work for the company. |
|
| The Profit Contribution of Onboarding |
| By David J. Dell, Ph.D. and Ernest P. Canali, HRTechTeam |
| Today, any HR department that has not made sure it is effectively leveraging its systems to automate onboarding processes is seriously delinquent. Automating onboarding processes contribute profit even before new employees start to earn a paycheck; they really start earning their keep from the first day and can deliver many derivative benefits longer term. |
