How to Ensure Your Compensation Management Program Is on Target
Having a healthy, competitive employee compensation program can improve existing employee morale and also make attracting top talent a breeze.

The Different Types of Turnover
Voluntary vs. Involuntary Turnover Regardless of business type there are two main types of employee turnover: voluntary and involuntary. Within each of those categories, however, you’ll find various reasons for why a company might have employee turnover. While the term “turnover” sometimes has a negative connotation, not all turnover is bad. For example, when a poorly performing employee is let go and replaced with someone who is motivated and excels at their job, productivity can soar. This new worker can bring bottom-line benefits, as well as provide an overall boost to team morale. What is involuntary turnover? Involuntary turnover includes layoffs or reductions in force and terminating poorly performing employees. The first type of...

Paying taxes is a necessary evil of running a small business Just the mere thought of year-end can really stress some folks out.

Get ExpertiseLabor Costs, Overtime, Turnover and More
Labor costs, especially if you’re not tracking them, have a way of getting out of control. Employee wage growth (or lack thereof), overtime, employee turnover and time theft are just a few of the ways things can go off the rails. Yet, according to a recent Paycor survey, HR professionals only spend 15% of their time managing labor costs. So, why isn’t it more of a priority?
There’s a number of ways HR can help reduce labor costs. Overtime expenses tend to wreck the most havoc on a budget, which is why it’s important to figure out the culprit and create a plan to deal with it. Try hiring temporary workers during peak times of productivity or streamline the overall process. You can curb time theft and buddy punching with technology and modern time and attendance software/products. In the restaurant industry, margins are already thin but optimizing schedules can help reduce labor costs.
And that’s just a start. HR can use workforce analytics to obtain key information about talent and how it influences current and future business strategy. As an HR pro, you have the power to predict what’s going to happen—it’s all in the data.
