Fortune Magazine has called pet insurance the “hottest employee benefit” and one survey forecasts that nearly 60% of companies will offer pet insurance by 2018 (Willis Towers Watson 2016). The large growth we’ve seen at Pets Best supports this. The number of companies offering our pet insurance as a voluntary benefit in 2017 has increased over 134% since 2013.

3 Key Medical Staff Services Initiatives for Overcoming Change in 2018 Nov. 7, 2017. Bryan-Barajas.jpg. Bryan Barajas Marketing Director. As healthcare organizations focus more on value-based care rather than volume-based and also deal with other strategic issues, the role of medical services professionals (MSPs) is changing. Once seen as an administrative role, MSPs are increasingly asked to provide strategy and value — and that can be a challenge.

I ran across a tweet recently that posed an interesting thought : What if managers created “personal user manuals” about their management style? Back in the old days, we called this managing up. Managers would share information about themselves with their teams – things like “I’m not a morning person.” or “I like communicating via email.”. Employees could then use the information about the best times and methods to communicate with their manager to help them get the necessary resources to do the

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

I’m a big fan of 2nd chance candidates. Candidates who were fired, terminated, let go, etc. for many various reasons, most of which come down to wrong job fit, the wrong personality fit with their boss, wrong skill fit, etc. I don’t have actual numbers, and I wouldn’t believe any study who told me a number because here’s what really happens.

Managers have a tough job and a full plate. They’re responsible for their department planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. They’re also responsible for hiring. But managers themselves are often hired and promoted for their technical expertise, not their ability to hire others. This means that organizations need to give hiring managers all the tools they need to hire effectively.

50 years ago, large organizations could not measure “good” or “bad” when it came to their own workforce trends. It was difficult to tell, for example, whether a surge in employee turnover was something that required action. This all changed in 1980, when Dr. Jac Fitz-enz — now celebrated as the father of human capital strategic analysis and measurement — founded the Saratoga Institute , and developed the first international HR benchmarking service.

I know a lot of people toss everything into the “employee disengagement” pile. This causes disengagement. Or that causes disengagement. Reality is, the drivers of employee engagement (or disengagement) are the things that drive work and productivity. A foosball table, while it’s fun and cool, probably doesn’t drive work. Therefore, it’s not a driver of employee engagement.

The importance of employee wellness in the workplace continues to rise. As a leader in HR, I’m frequently asked by employees if there is a budget for wellness offerings including massages, meditation apps, and yoga classes. Well-being perks are quickly becoming a standard employee expectation at most companies. These programs are impactful, however, throwing fast solutions at what is truly a deeper issue is a battle that will never be won.

If I’m updating my WageWorks transit deductions or choosing a new insurance plan, I’m usually doing it at home before or after traditional “business hours.” We know a lot of our customers have similar experiences. Making sure we’re available when and where our customers need us is really important to us as a company.

Discretionary effort refers to the activities beneficial to the business but not part of one’s job — a real game-changer.

Sometimes, employees — not just employers — are the ones who incur business expenses. That’s where expense reimbursement comes in. Keep in mind that some states, like California, require employers to reimburse employees’ reasonable work-related expenses.
