I wanted to title this – “The most boring post ever!” But you guys know I couldn’t write a boring post!
Going through my debrief of HR Tech and I had a meeting with ADP regarding health care reform compliance. Yes. It was as boring as it sounds! But there’s a catch, this is stuff that the real HR folks are really concerned about, especially small and medium sized HR shops (50 – 999 employees). Let’s face it, we don’t have the staff or budget to really feel 100% confident we know what we really need to be doing! It’s something that can make us look like fools to our executives. So, I wanted to pass along some stuff I think might help.
ADP has data coming out of their ears! They surveyed our executives in the SMB space and here’s what they are saying:
- 69% are concerned with the cost of health coverage and other benefits
- 54% are concerned with health care reform legislation
I’ll bet you that 54% is really 100%, but the other 46% believe you (HR Pro) have it under control, and most of us probably don’t!
Read the whole post over at The Tim Sackett Project (an FOT contributor blog).
If you Google “Tim Sackett” you’ll find our Tim, and a truck driver chaplain. Our Tim is NOT the truck driver chaplain, although how awesome would that be if he was!? He is a prolific writer in the HR and TA space who just happens to also run an Engineering and IT contract staffing agency (HRU Technical Resources) out of Michigan. He also writes every day at his own blog, the Tim Sackett Project. Weirdly, he’s known as an expert in workplace hugging, which was kind of cool years ago, but now seems painfully creepy, but we still love him and he’s fairly harmless. Tim is also on the board of the Association of Talent Acquisition Professionals (ATAP), lifetime Michigan State Spartan fan, husband to a Hall of Fame wife, 3 sons, and his best friend Scout. He also wrote a book with SHRM called The Talent Fix, you can find it on Amazon.
