AI is here to stay and embracing it is essential

In some employment sectors such as finance & accounting, not only can AI enable fast data processing while analyzing vast amounts of historical and real-time data, it can also adapt to multiple factors at once, depending on your company’s specific needs. AI is quickly becoming a critical tool in the toolbox that employers look to talent to learn, leverage and embrace. Learn more in our blog. 

AI and its transformative impact on customer engagement and experience was the topic of our recent CEX webinar featuring four dynamic leaders from Qualtrics, Humach, Metro and NTT. If you missed the webinar, you’re in luck as you can find the recording on our website. And stay tuned for other webinars we plan to host. 

competitive pay matters in a competitive market

Since compensation is the driving force when it comes to employee satisfaction, it pays to be competitive when you are recruiting talent. And if you are on the hunt for a new gig, you also want to understand the competitive landscape and to know your value/worth. 

In a survey we paired with our annual salary guide, we surveyed more than 1,900 U.S. workers about compensation and found salary and compensation are the most important factors for job satisfaction for 65 percent of workers. While this is no surprise given the current economic climate, we uncovered other fascinating insights about workers’ thoughts on pay. Dig deeper into those insights. 

The talent marketplace may be a little less turbulent than in previous years, but employers are still contending with lengthy vacancies, high hiring costs and difficulty finding the right people. Even amid all these changes, compensation remains the one lever employers can count on for finding the talent they need.

how staying compliant can help you stay competitive

You read headlines every day about new laws and pending legislation that may impact the workplace. Employment law is evolving and it might be hard to keep up. We’re here to give you a hand. Staying compliant also ensures you stay competitive.

Adeptly navigating the legal landscape, particularly when it comes to workplace equality, can help you stay ahead of the competition by offering a more attractive place to work. Learn more in our blog.
