BEST PRACTICES / EXPERT OPINION In early 2013, the ADP Research Institute surveyed human resource and employee benefits decision makers in a national sample of small U.S. companies (1-49 employees). Read this report to learn more about ACA and the effect it has on small employers. BENCHMARKS / INDICES Read this new report to explore retirement trends and how they present a valuable opportunity for employers to help their employees understand how to plan for retirement, while at the same time creating an advantage for their firm in the race to hire and retain the best talent moving forward. BEST PRACTICES / EXPERT OPINION With several of the legislation’s coverage and compliance mandates already implemented, and even more taking effect in the coming weeks and months, this paper provides essential information midsized and large businesses need to know about Health Care Reform. BEST PRACTICES / EXPERT OPINION This research brief focuses on the role of benefits and, specifically, employer-provided health insurance, in attracting and retaining the talent needed to build a competitive workforce. BEST PRACTICES / EXPERT OPINION Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), understanding the relationship between employee income, health insurance premiums, and plan participation is critical, because your employees’ circumstances can potentially create costly tax penalties for you. BENCHMARKS / INDICES With key provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) soon to take effect, developing a high-value health benefits strategy is becoming an even greater challenge. BENCHMARKS / INDICES Over the past several years, media headlines and political debate have focused on the challenges facing businesses in the post-2008 economy and the best path to sustainable recovery. But there has been little discussion about the unique effects of these uncertain economic times on midsized businesses.
BENCHMARKS / INDICES As employers continue to grapple with unplanned and extended employee absence nearly two decades after the Family Medical and Leave Act was passed into law, Total Absence Management (TAM) represents a largely untapped opportunity for enhancing workforce productivity and minimizing compliance risk. BEST PRACTICES / EXPERT OPINION Economic uncertainty and globalization are prompting organizations to develop leading-edge talent acquisition strategies, including utilizing social solutions, building robust talent communities, and finding unique ways to target multigenerational candidates, to maintain a competitive edge and strive for future success. BENCHMARKS / INDICES Health Care Reform is one of the single biggest HR compliance challenges for your Human Resources team. Controlling healthcare insurance costs is another pressing concern. Everyone is working overtime on their ACA compliance plans – and searching for ways to help minimize the cost of providing employee healthcare. BEST PRACTICES / EXPERT OPINION With wage and hour litigation on the rise in the U.S., employers need to assess time and attendance policies as well as their ability to handle complex payroll calculations to minimize compliance risk and exposure to costly legal action.
BEST PRACTICES / EXPERT OPINION Pay for Talent, a new compensation model that recognizes past performance while tying critical skills, future potential, risk of loss, and emerging corporate needs into the overall reward process, can help you retain key talent and better achieve your short and long-term business goals. BEST PRACTICES / EXPERT OPINION While Health Care Reform imposes new coverage mandates and tax requirements that can potentially affect every employer-sponsored benefit plan, it also presents an opportunity to rethink the design and delivery of your benefit plans in order to better control healthcare costs and minimize compliance risk.
BENCHMARKS / INDICES Recent changes, including Health Care Reform, are leading many HR managers at midsized and large companies to consider outsourcing benefits administration functions — especially those with heavy compliance requirements.
BENCHMARKS / INDICES As employers look for ways to control escalating healthcare costs without compromising employee morale and job satisfaction, many see real value in implementing employee health and wellness programs.
BEST PRACTICES / EXPERT OPINION Although HR managers at enterprises with 500+ employees give their organizations high scores for talent management maturity, their ratings for talent management strategies, KPIs, and benchmarking paint a distinctly different picture.
BEST PRACTICES / EXPERT OPINION As the transition to all electronic tax filing and deposits at the federal, state and local levels continues to create new tax compliance and administrative challenges, you need to evaluate how you handle payroll tax reporting and deposit functions moving forward.
BEST PRACTICES / EXPERT OPINION The DOL and other federal agencies are publishing new rules and regulations that are adding to the compliance burden of employers. Regulatory and enforcement activity has already gone into overdrive. BENCHMARKS / INDICES Employers that offer their workforce technology-driven decision support tools are helping to improve benefits access, understanding, and overall employee engagement. BENCHMARKS / INDICES Although survey results show that more than a third of HR managers in small companies and nearly half in midsized companies consider hiring top talent a strategic priority, many lack confidence in their ability to comply with HR and employment laws and regulations. BENCHMARKS / INDICES As companies increase mobile workforce headcounts, and workers rely on mobile devices for business and personal use, employers are seeing real value in allowing workers to access benefits and other data from their mobile devices. BENCHMARKS / INDICES Effective pre-employment screening can help you mitigate your hiring risks – but your screening procedures have to comply with tough federal and state requirements, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
