Like you, we wanted to know how organizations are making their decisions around HR technology for learning, including: • What role HR plays in the selection of the LMS, • Which LMS features are most important, • How organizations calculate the ROI of their LMS, and • Whether learning content is created in-house

This marks the sixth year PayScale has conducted the Compensation Best Practices Report (CBPR), a comprehensive survey that reflects employers’ attitudes and perceptions about key business issues including compensation practices, hiring trends, HR methodology, and other topics related to effective talent management.

See what 7,700 respondents said about comp in 2017. In talent, like marketing, perception is everything. If your employees don’t know that you source data carefully, ethically; if they don’t know that you have built a market-based pay structure; if they don’t know that you target the 65th percentile for most jobs, how can you get credit for those choices? You can’t. Whether you’re hoping to see what’s happening in incentive compensation — are bonuses being given more frequently? Or whether you just want to know who’s deviating from the tired old 3 percent formula — PayScale's eighth annual Compensation Best Practices Report will help you make compensation a more powerful tool at your organization to help connect rewarding your teams with building success into your culture.

If your organization still relies on manual time tracking methods for payroll and time-off, you’re already aware of the inefficiency and inaccuracy this causes.

Federal safety regulations set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) make the importance of safety equipment in potentially dangerous working environments clear. The stringent guidelines for emergency showers and eyewashes, however, don’t extend to the inclusion of mandatory alarm and electronic monitoring systems on this equipment. Implementing best practices with the addition of both alarm and wireless monitoring systems is the best way for workplaces to exceed normal expectations by creating superior emergency response procedures. From initiating an emergency response as soon as safety equipment is engaged to maintaining detailed records of when stations are used, tested, and maintained, these wireless systems can create safer, more responsive working environments. Not only will this help ensure employee safety, it can make it easier for facilities to stay in compliance with OSHA and ANSI standards.
