Botwin, who is CEO of SPC (Strategy People Culture) Consulting Florham Park, New Jersey, offers 14 signs of disengagement: High turnover, Lack of cooperation, Lack of feedback:
Healthcare Benefits Keep Evolving
Employers are keeping their healthcare costs down, in part by continuing to shift more costs to their employees. Private healthcare exchanges represent the next step in this approach.
Right-To-Work or Wrong To Work
I have to say it’s been fun to have a front row seat in the Right-To-Work debate that raged on in Michigan this past week! Even President Obama made an appearance in Michigan and was probably the only one to put this debate into it’s proper context – he said Right-To-Work legislation is not about economics, it’s about politics – and for once in his life he was right.
E-Verify Legislation Map
The
E-Verify Legislation Map presents a detailed and up-to-date summary of
all active and proposed E-Verify laws at the city, county, state and
federal level. Prepared and updated by Tracker's legal staff, this
interactive map can help you navigate the ever-changing landscape of
employment verification requirements.
‘You can’t work on Sundays – you’re pregnant’
Pregnancy discrimination cases don’t get much stranger than this. A Peoria, AZ, restaurant has agreed to pay $15,000 to settle a pregnancy bias lawsuit after the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) claimed the employer wouldn’t let pregnant women work on Sundays.
A template for handling tricky workplace investigation interviews
You may have a lot of experience interviewing candidates for open positions, but interviewing employees as part of a workplace investigation is another animal entirely. Bernard J. Bobber of Foley & Lardner LLP recently laid out a guide for HR pros to follow when they need to interview a staff member following an employee complaint.
What Bad Hires Really Cost Companies (Hint: It’s More Than Just Morale)
Bad hires cost some companies as much as $50,000, new survey reveals. According to a new CareerBuilder study, 69 percent of employers reported that their companies have been adversely affected by a bad hire this year, with 41 percent of those businesses estimating the cost to be over $25,000, and 24 percent said a bad hire cost them more than $50,000.
6 Hiring Process Management Trends to Watch in the Future
It
pays for employers to stay on top of the changes that are occurring in
the Human Resources, staffing, and recruiting industry. Nowhere are more
changes occuring than in the steps employers must take in the hiring
process.
Betting Against the Mayan Apocalypse: Should You Keep Working, Even if the End May Be Near?
Nostradamus was wrong and the world did not end or get trashed at the beginning of the new millennium (although, sadly, his prophesied cataclysmic “fire that will fall from the sky” occurred a year later in September 2001—mentioned in case being approximately and partially right counts for something).
Worst Office Party Gaffes
Are you heading out to an office holiday party this week or next? If so, this note is for you. This note is especially targeted to readers who may head out this weekend or this next week to the potentially fun and exciting office holiday party. Potentially, I say, because the stories readers share about the behavior at their office parties are enough to make your hair stand on end.

Some Hospital Employees Dismissed, Suspended After Refusing Mandatory Flu Shots
Despite resistance from some employees, more state hospitals this year are making flu shots mandatory for all workers, and some have even suspended or dismissed a handful who have not complied. This year, 19 of the 29 acute care hospitals in the state require that all employees get flu vaccinations. It's a sharp increase from last year, when there were only five. State health officials did not name the hospitals. There has been dissent from some employees.
Worry Less About New Hires and More About Training
Many businesses are now in a position where they’re worrying less about economic woes and more about how to expand their current portfolios, but to do that, a lot of them are turning to outside hiring practices to try and get fresh perspectives. The problem here is that many of the most talented employees have already been scooped up by other companies – with the unemployment rate dropping and many businesses sharing this expansionary mindset, plenty of employers have already scoured the system.
HR 2013 and Beyond—Hot Topics
In yesterday’s Advisor, panelists at the Advanced Employment Issues Symposium in Las Vegas covered sweeping developments at DOL and EEOC Today, the compensation-related issues, plus an introduction to the unique “50x50” (50 Employment Laws in 50 States).

Hiring Wisdom: What Do You Do With the Employee From Hell? I recently made a presentation to the Association for Residential Cleaning Services International which included a discussion about “the employee from hell.” Shortly after, one of its members sent me this sad story:
Why Workers Don’t Use Vacation Time
A survey by Harris Interactive, Inc., found that by the end of 2012 Americans will leave an average of 9.2 vacation days unused, up from 6.2 days in 2011. According to a survey by Expedia, here are the top five reasons why U.S. employees don’t use all of their vacation time:
Ho Ho Ho? Employers Should Be Careful of Holiday Parties
Even cold-hearted employment lawyers enjoy end of year festivities. At the same time, we worry that our clients will experience employee claims and HR hangovers that last well into 2013. Here are a few simple tips to avoid problems.
How to Properly Recognize Employees During the Holidays During the last couple of weeks, I’ve seen several media articles and blog posts on this topic. None are worth pointing back to as the advice is the same stuff I’m sure you’ve all read again and again, year after year. So what do I advise instead?
The 10 Worst Communication Mistakes For Your Career “How do you signal to the world you’re leadership material?” asks Sylvia Ann Hewlett, an economist and the founding president of the Center for Talent Innovation (CTI) in New York. “You don’t get a shot at being a leader unless you signal right.”

How to Succeed When You’re Taking Over “Someone Else’s” Role You’ve just landed a new job or a promotion. Score! You eagerly accept, ready to tackle your new responsibilities—only to find that while you (and your manager) are thrilled about your arrival, your co-workers are less than enthusiastic.
Tips for employing veterans with PTSD You would like to consider returning military service members for jobs with your company, but are admittedly a little nervous about the risks of post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) among veterans in the civilian workplace. What do you need to know?
Menard to fly Wis. workers in to staff ND store Home improvement retailer Menard Inc. says it will hire workers from its home base in Wisconsin and fly them to North Dakota to staff a store in Minot, which is near the state's booming oil patch and has more jobs than takers.
Start-up Job Hoppers on the Decline The rate of employee turnover at young businesses has decreased over the past decade. Over the last decade, "workforce churning"--the process of employers replacing employees or employees voluntarily quitting--substantially dropped, according to a new study by the Kauffman Foundation.
Should parents get preference for the holidays? Do you have to work on Christmas day? While we tend to think of it as a big vacation day for everyone, many, many people are still punching the clock. Hospitals, pharmacies, gas stations, airlines, restaurants, movie theaters and call centers all have people working while the rest of us are opening presents.
We Subject Employees to Abuse Regardless of Gender, Race, or Age Most employers want to be an employer of choice, says Segal, and this is not the way to go about it. Segal, who is one of SHRM's most popular speakers, is a partner in the Philadelphia office of law firm Duane Morris LLP. His remarks came at a recent SHRM Annual Conference and Exhibition.
‘Tis the season: Employees holiday shopping on your time CyberMonday may have come and gone, but brace yourself: At least half of your employees plan to shop online during work hours between now and Christmas. According to a recent survey from CareerBuilder, 49% of employees said they’d be doing their shopping from their desks this year. That’s on par with the last several years, CareerBuilder said.
How to Deal With Chronic Complainers You know that person who always has something to whine about? Super annoying, right? Working with a constant complainer can be a challenge for a variety of reasons. And if you’re not careful, the situation could go from an irritation to a serious career killer.
2012 Sees Modest Gains for HR Staff and Budgets In its annual HR survey, Bloomberg BNA reported that human resources departments showed positive signs of recovery in 2012, though these gains are not expected to overcome the cuts undergone during and after the recession. For two consecutive years, beginning in 2010, HR departments were more likely to cut staff than increase them, but 2012 saw staffing gains outpace reductions by 10 percent.
HR: Play to Your Strengths to Boost Compliance HR has a role to play in establishing an organization’s compliance program and culture, according to workplace law experts.

3 benefits compliance areas employers need to watch for Up until a few months ago, I worked as a director of compliance for a health and welfare benefits consultancy. As part of my job, I would have frequent conversations with external counsel, especially regarding ERISA and Section 125. Whenever I would speak to one attorney in particular, Marilyn Monahan of Monahan Law Office, we always seemed to get off on a tangent about why so many employers aren’t compliant in a few key areas.
Telecommuting as ADA accommodation: Where courts draw the line A new ruling should give firms more insight into when they have to allow accommodate workers’ requests to work from home. Jane Harris, a resale buyer for Ford Motor Company, had irritable bowel syndrome that resulted in frequent and unpredictable absences from work. She asked Ford if she could participate in the company’s telecommuting program by working from home four days a week.
4 things that every BYOD policy needs to address What are the issues that governments need to address in the absence of a BYOD policy? New college graduates entering the workforce this year may have gotten their first iPhone before they started college. They may have gotten their first email address while they were in middle school. While students who graduated from college even five years earlier were doing research on their laptops in dorm rooms, this year's graduates could fact-check their professors during their lectures on high-speed wireless networks using devices that weigh less than a bottle of water and fit surreptitiously in a pocket or purse.
New Study: Long-Term Unemployment Viewed By Hiring Companies As Worse Than A Criminal Record A survey released today shows that people who have criminal records but are holding down a job have an easier time impressing hiring managers than do people who have been out of work for two years or more. The study is by Bullhorn, a Boston maker of recruiting software. The company ran an anonymous survey between August 23-28 of 1,500 staffing recruiters, corporate recruiters and hiring managers who use Bullhorn’s products.
3 Ways HR Pros Can Increase Their Influence in Top-Level Decisions Let’s just start by getting this out of the way: Human Resource professionals deserve to have the CEO’s ear. That’s not flattery, it’s fact. As HR experts, you have experience and knowledge about how to build human capital in an organization, and there’s nothing more vital to a company’s success than its people.
Background checks: What’s changing in 2013 Come January 1, you’ll want to make sure you’ve updated one specific part of your background check process. HR pros know that when they use a third party to conduct background checks on applicants or employees, there’s certain protocol that has to be followed to avoid running afoul of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
A Social Media Q&A: The Stuff That HR Pros Really Want to Know I have been talking to HR professionals about social media and social recruiting. I’ve done several seminars, planning sessions and master sessions on the social media landscape. I have three more sessions left in 2012.

this week's top human resources news stories from around the web.
Can You Tell Engagement By Looking at Posture?
There’s a lot you can tell about a person just by looking at them; whether they’re feeling open or closed to interaction, if they’re happy or sad and whether or not they’re sick at the moment. According to some experts, you can also tell how productive somebody is feeling, and certain body language can increase that employee engagement.
Senator Blumenthal Promotes Hiring of Veterans

OFCCP Clarifies Rules to Make Clear It’s All Up to You
If your employer does business with the federal government, you already know — or should know — the rules about Internet hiring.... Now comes clarifications of these rules from the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs that won’t make life any easier, but which do, at least, make it clearer what records to keep and who is responsible for keeping them.
Census Bureau Reveals State of State Employment
State and local governments employed approximately 16.4 million full-time workers in March 2011, according to recent estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau. This number is down 1.4 percent from the same time in 2010. The report found that 8.9 million of these workers were employed in education, 964,381 worked in hospitals, 923,951 worked in police protection, and 717,940 were occupied in corrections positions.
Poor Benefits Choices Lead to Significant Annual Waste
New research out of Aflac has revealed that 56 percent of employees waste up to an annual $750 on poor insurance benefits election. Nearly 25 percent of respondents said they either chose the wrong level of coverage or chose options they didn't need while just 16 percent of employees said they were confident in their selections. The Aflac study, entitled the 2012 Open Enrollment Survey of the Aflac Workforces Report, polled 2,500 consumers in July 2012.
California On Brink of New “Can’t Ask” Social Media Password Law
California is about to become the third state to prohibit employers from asking employees or job seekers for access to their social media postings. Without dissent, the California Senate this week approved AB1844, the privacy measure. It now requires an Assembly vote and Gov. Jerry Brown’s signature before it takes effect. The Assembly vote is likely this week and is almost perfunctory, since it has already once passed there without dissent.
5 steps to accommodate major 401(k) compliance deadline looming August 30
Many companies sponsoring 401(k) plans may not be aware that they’re facing a critical regulatory deadline on August 30. That’s the federal deadline for disclosing to employees the amounts of fees that they’re paying for their plans. The overwhelming majority of these investors don’t have the vaguest idea how much they’re paying in fees. If you’re an employer at a small or mid-sized company, there’s a good chance that you don’t either.

Roundup: This Week's Top HR Stories From Around The Web
What we've read this week, what HBO's 'Hard Knocks' can teach managers, the outrageous death benefits Google employees receive and how to be more productive at work....
Why Every Manager Should Watch HBO’s 'Hard Knocks'
At the beginning of this year’s training camp, the Miami Dolphins’ tall and angular new head football coach, Joe Philbin—who looks more like a dentist than a tough-talking gridiron guru—reminds one of the team’s high-profile acquisitions that he’d be wise to toe the line. The player is the wide-out Chad Johnson, a man known until recently as Chad Ochocinco, who earlier had unleashed some foul language during a press conference.
Extreme Benefits: Google Edition
Google's incredibly generous death benefits have generated huge admiration. But what are they really for?
Make Meetings Productive: 3 Better Ways
Everyone hates meetings. When people get the chance to work from home, they undoubtedly say they're more productive because they don't have to go to meetings. In the thousands of meetings I've sat through, I can tell that within half an hour, most people tune out, and their capacity for creative thinking is mostly turned off.

In this live one-hour webcast we will talk about the common goals and differing objectives of HR and PR.

The Benefits of Compliance to HR Organizations: Identifying and Adopting Best Practices
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.
The amount of time and money required for an HR organization to adopt a system of "best practice" HR compliance rules can be considerable. And yet most--if not all--HR organizations will readily admit that the concept of compliance and operating by a set of "best business practices" within their HR departments can yield significant benefits.
Attend this live webcast and learn . . .
Why an HR organization should strive to become compliant (and the resulting benefits).
Why historical efforts at compliancy are so costly and resource intensive.
How HR organizations can achieve compliancy in a cost-effective manner.

iRecruit is a cloud-based recruiting and applicant tracking software
application, developed by CMS, that allows you to track and report on all of your job
applicants and positions.
In May we announced to both our customers and partners that
iRecruit has expanded to include 20 new HR fields as part of the
onboarding to Sage HRMS hiring process. The new fields include your custom user defined fields for HR and Payroll.
The new super-charged integration is synchronized both-ways, so iRecruit
will take information directly from Sage HRMS for the new employee, and
integrates 100+ fields for new hires into Sage for a paperless
onboarding process.
iRecruit continues to provide the BEST integration to Sage HRMS, (formerly Sage Abra HRMS), available on the market today.
iRecruit also announced this week that we have partnered with both SimplyHired.com and Indeed.com, two of the largest, and most popular job search engines in the United States. This partnership allows iRecruit customers to automatically share their job listings on these websites and increase visibility to potential candidates with the click of a button.

Why are some companies thriving while others struggle to stay in business? What is the distinctive difference between a good company and a truly great company? The answers to these questions can only be found when looking at what defines the company: its people. The people that make up a company are that organization's unique and biggest asset. For most businesses, the workforce is also its largest expense, or better put, its largest investment.
At Sage, we believe that employees are the most important component in the quest to improve business results. It makes sense to treat employee related expenses as an investment in the workforce. Like any other investment, this critical company investment must yield a healthy return. We call that the Return on Employee Investment™ or ROEI™.
