Cost-Effective Compliance Webinar

Cost-Effective Compliance: What It Consists Of and How to Achieve It

Compliance -- the very thought of implementing an HR "compliance system" typically strikes terror in the minds of HR managers and IT professionals alike. Attend this live webcast and learn what an HR "best practice" compliance system consists of, its benefits to your HR organization, and how to achieve it cost-effectively.
