For employers with U.S.-based operations, there are a number of important credit opportunities that can be used to offset rising employer taxes. These credits are often missed or not pursued to their full potential; however, an optimized credits program can drive very material savings to your organization.

In this presentation, we will explore the use of best practices to derive maximum potential value from tax credit opportunities.

Credits include:

• FICA SUB Pay Protective Filings
• Post-M&A "Successor Employer" Credits
• General UI Account Review (Housecleaning)
• Hiring Incentive Programs such as WOTC and the HIRE Act

The approach of the presentation will be to help payroll professionals:

• assess the effectiveness of their current credit administration (if any);
• quantify the potential value of credits;
• do a rough diagnostic to identify which credits may be worth pursuing in terms of likely eligibility and ROI;
• identify common mistakes to avoid and best practices to help extract full value from their credit programs for maximum $avings.

How do we “herd the cats” to achieve success in the interview beyond unstructured interviewing to ensure best practices? If you have ever tried to advocate, train for, or highlight the benefits of, for example, a structured behavioral interview, you may be privy to the nay-saying, eye-rolling, and heavy sighs expressed by experienced interviewers who do not buy-in to the fact that they should refine “how they have always done it.” Such resistance is certainly not universal, but it can be contagious when even a small number of intransigent veteran interviewers provide resistance to change regarding how to interview. Confronting, or preempting, such resistance can significantly enhance the quality of an employment interviewing initiative. The objective of this session will be to address employment interview best practices in the context of practitioners who are, for one reason or another, resistant to these practices. A framework will guide discussion to identify how we can establish buy-in and better articulate, educate, and train for interview best practices.

Small business owners and HR leaders often recognize that employees are the most valuable asset but taking the first step towards identifying and executing an effective talent management strategy that can lead to engaged employees and small business success is often not top priority or just too difficult to accomplish.

Learn the challenges faced by small organizations to implement solutions to address organizational requirements and how to overcome these barriers to attracting, engaging and retaining top talent.

Systems and strategies are equally important when attempting to ensure results in small companies as they are in large organizations. Statics show that organizations that implement effective talent management solutions outperform like companies by in excess of 22%.

This session will focus on the what, why and how of implementing strategies and solutions in small businesses to better attract, engage and retain top performers.

We will help you build a business case to get C-Level buy-in to your talent management initiatives and identify ways to effectively illustrate return on investment (ROI) for these programs.
