HR-6: How to prepare for the Affordable Care Act (ACA)

On top of all the political debates surrounding the health care reform, in 2015 the ACA requires any employer with 50 or more employees to report minimal essential coverage under employer-sponsored group health plans to the government and notify employees covered by those plans. Because new reporting requirements and the consequences of recent elections raise so many questions for employers, Sage is teaming up with BenefitMall, a leader in benefits solutions and services, to provide answers during this not-to-be-missed session.

HR-9: Why HR matters to your organization

A company is as good as its employees. We are used to talking about a company as if the organization itself is a person. But an organization does not have ideas, does not give service, and is by itself not efficient or productive. The people in the organization do and are. How we treat our employees and what we invest in our employees has a huge influence on the bottom line. Investing in and managing your human capital has in many cases a larger effect than investments in marketing or R and D.
