How often have you hired someone with a great track record who turned out to be a bad hire? By discovering what a candidate’s previous managers and colleagues candidly say about their work style, skills and behaviors, you can objectively assess the candidate’s ability to be a top performer. Through this session, you will learn how technology has introduced a way for talent acquisition professionals to capture behavioral feedback from five references in just two days for each job candidate, and how to avoid candidates who score low with references. Also, see an overview of how this technology infuses compliance, consistency, reliability and validity into each reference-check and obtains feedback that identifies developmental needs of candidates.

This webinar will provide HR professionals with the tools needed to evaluate HR software systems if they are considering change in vendors or buying a system for the first time. The presentation will help provide insight on the steps that lead up to the selection of a new HR software system (HRIS/HRMS). The presentation will cover the steps involved in evaluating HR software before the actual vendor demonstrations, which include a careful analysis of the company’s HR software needs, prioritization of those needs and sending request for proposal (RFP) documents to prospective vendors. The presentation will also help HR professionals identify key questions they should ask the vendors during the demo. Finally, it will cover the importance of vendor references and the different aspects of each vendor system that should be researched prior to purchase.

Health Care Reform is complex – and failing to get things right can result in significant penalties for employers. One of the most serious issues facing an employer is making sure that it offers a plan that meets the “affordability” requirement in order to avoid triggering a $3,000 annual penalty per full-time employee who receives a federal tax credit for Exchange coverage.

An employer can also fail to meet the shared responsibility requirement if the plan that is offered is not considered to be of “minimum value” with respect to covered benefits.

In other circumstances, such as failing to offer coverage to at least 95% of full-time employees, just one employee going to an Exchange and getting a subsidy can trigger a penalty applicable to all full-time employees (minus the first 30) – even those who are enrolled for healthcare.

This session will examine:

• how these penalties can be triggered
• how to mitigate the possibility of doing so
and
• the financial consequences of not getting it “right”

As an attendee of these events, you will receive information about some of the most frequently asked questions (FAQs), which ADP’s health and benefits team has received related to Health Care Reform.

We all know that no employee learns from a single exposure to a training. Indeed, within two hours, more than 50% of content is forgotten, and within a week, 95% is forgotten. It is no wonder training seldom results in transfer to the workplace.

In this hands-on webinar, we will teach HR professionals techniques to incorporate these techniques into both their formal and informal trainings. Within a week, your trainings will be significantly more effective and transfer will increase.
