The Turnover Crisis in Healthcare
An action plan for finance and HR leaders With an aging population, more chronic illnesses and many nurses nearing retirement, the demand for their skilled replacements is outpacing the supply at an alarming rate. In fact, nearly a quarter of healthcare providers reported having nursing vacancies greater than 10% in 2018*. Unemployment rates are at the lowest they’ve been in decades, which makes the search for qualified talent and filling open job positions more difficult than ever. The demand for healthcare isn’t going to diminish, so it’s important to partner with an HCM provider who can help solve your HR challenges with the proper technology and expertise. Nearly 6,000 healthcare providers depend on Paycor for solutions regarding...

The Turnover Crisis in Manufacturing
An action plan for all HR and finance leaders It’s no secret—manufacturing is losing talent. As Baby Boomers leave the workforce and take valuable skills with them, it’s expected that nearly 3.5 million manufacturing jobs will open up by 2025. Two million of those jobs are expected to go unfilled because of the skills gap*. The longer positions go unfilled, the more the production process is disrupted. Company morale starts to decline, and manufacturers see profits dip as they’re unable to operate at full capacity. Automation and robotics may help fill some of the labor gap, but HR still needs to find humans to problem solve, analyze issues and manage output. If you’re trying to recruit in the manufacturing industry, you’re in a vicious...

Understanding FMLA Regulations
What is the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA?) The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law that allows eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave in any given 12-month period for certain medical and family reasons without fear of losing their job. Signed into law in 1993, the FMLA is designed to help employees balance their work and family responsibilities while promoting equal employment opportunity for men and women. Who is Eligible for FMLA? An employee is eligible for FMLA leave if he or she has worked for a covered employer at least 12 months, completed at least 1,250 hours of work during the past 12 months and worked at a location within 75 miles of where the company employs 50 or more people.

HCM Tools for Talent Management
We’re witnessing a historically good job market—good for job seekers, but ultra-competitive for employers. And while there continues to be a lot of emphasis on finding and recruiting new talent—which is all well and good—don’t forget the importance of growing and developing the talent you currently have in your workforce. One way to put the focus back on talent development is to re-think the way we talk about HCM software. If we think about HR technology from a “human resources management” or “human resource information system (HRIS)” perspective, the focus is on streamlining the HR processes. Which is important insofar as it saves your HR team from excessive administrative work, but it only gets you so far. Instead, think of your HCM...
How to Classify Independent Contractors vs. Employees
It’s 2019, the gig economy is booming, and independent contractors are in high demand. Forbes suggests that by as early as next year, the gig economy will make up 50% of the U.S. workforce. With more businesses partnering with independent contractors, it’s essential that employers properly classify workers. Here’s how to distinguish employees from independent contractors, and what happens if you don’t. Employees vs. Independent Contractors Aside from taxes, the biggest difference is the level of control an employer has over the worker. Typically, an employer that partners with an independent contractor defines the scope of work but doesn’t have control over how the project is completed. Because the independent contractor often uses their...
3 Big Problems Only HR Can Solve

To Avoid an HR and Payroll Implementation Nightmare, Ask ONE Question
HR and payroll technology affect every aspect of your business, so if your current provider isn’t meeting your needs, your entire organization suffers. And yet so many business leaders settle for mediocre HCM because they’re (legitimately) afraid of implementing a new system. The good news: you can avoid an implementation nightmare by asking one simple question: Is My HCM Partner Collaborative? How can you tell if you’re working with a collaborative HCM company? It’s easy. Ask yourself: Do they talk more than they listen?

Take QuizPeople Management is the Foundation of HR
Did you know that, according to Gallup, 70% of an employee’s motivation is influenced by their manager? People management isn’t easy and takes a certain finesse to be successful. You have to be consistent in policy and procedure from the top down. Strong leadership can make all the difference.
A good leader has the ability to interact with different personality types while maintaining fair and impartial judgment. Leaders look out for their teams, from making sure each team member has the right tools and technology to get the job done to making sure there’s a mutually understood common goal, a north star. A good leader wants to see employees succeed and gives constructive feedback to help with business development, personal and professional growth.
A recent Paycor study revealed “bad bosses” is one of the top reasons employees quit. This just reiterates the importance of developing quality managers who are invested in giving their teams a purpose. Check out our People Management content to see how you can transform your people process.
