ACA Times

JANUARY 10, 2017

By now it should come as no surprise that maintaining ACA compliance is a confusing and at times difficult task. We know the basics: Applicable Large Employers (ALEs) with 50 or more full-time (FT) employees or full-time equivalents must offer affordable minimum essential coverage to its FT staff. That much is known. However, what happens when an employer utilizes staffing firms for a considerable portion of its staff?

“Should I go into HR?” ” I think it’s a great profession for many people. Go into HR if you’re a young mom. The cool thing about human resources is that the job offers a ton of flexibility if you can keep your eye on the prize: your kids. The barrier to entry is low, and you’ll work with like-minded individuals who want to have fun and don’t take life too seriously. The other good news? You don’t need a degree in human resources to work in HR.

by Tim Hird, executive director of Robert Half Management Resources. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity has been high in recent years. Global mergers in 2015 had a combined value of more than $4 trillion, The Wall Street Journal reported , and 2016 saw a number of deals between large companies. Yet some of these buyouts and takeovers don’t work out as smoothly as initially envisioned, especially if management commits missteps.

Small businesses often see learning as a nice-to-have, not a must-have. Once you meet the bare minimum of compliance training, why would you waste precious resources and time on learning? The answer is simple, but may be hard to hear. For small businesses, learning is critical to success: By teaching people to think proactively rather than reactively, a small workforce can grow and scale with a nimbleness and creativity that's harder for large organizations to implement.

You will not recruit, hire, fire, supervise, or discipline the employees. There might be a longer term opportunity for them after the three months if the contract gets extended. While this solution solves your labor supply concerns, you also need to consider other compliance issues.

Hiring and recruiting are rarely easy tasks. A recent study shows that 95% of recruiters believe recruiting will continue to get more competitive in the coming years. That’s why it’s so important that job descriptions—one of the most basic tools in a recruiter’s toolbox—evolve along with the changing climate. That includes not only what you put in your job descriptions, but also the format and the approach to reaching your audience.

Last week I published some new research that frankly surprised me. When we hear about video interviews, assessments, and hiring processes, we expect candidates and employers to be on opposite ends of the spectrum. But it’s not the case. When asked a series of questions, both groups responded similarly, and the priorities for each group matched in terms of ranking, even if not in terms of exact percentages. In short, it was a very interesting set of research.

I continue to hear more conversation about unlimited vacation time. It makes me wonder if having a defined vacation benefit is an old-school concept. Unlimited vacation (or unlimited PTO) isn’t a license to not get the work done. Whether the company has a formal vacation benefit or not, the work still must get done. The concept of unlimited vacation is focused on trust, transparency, and employee engagement.

Companies have long thought of employee learning as something that happens in a classroom, delivered by a trainer away from the worksite, with content and activities selected by an instructional designer. Managers, as well as trainers, have come to believe that good training can solve any performance problem. This is antiquated thinking. The problem is not with the quality of training.

Your organization’s culture wasn’t created in one day; it is the culmination of every day that has transpired since the day your organization was founded. Certain aspects of your company’s culture may have shifted significantly with new talent and business priorities, but most aspects are simply reinforced in small ways every day. Those subtle reinforcements are solidifying the underlying assumptions that ultimately drive your company’s culture.
