Typical HR Practices
• Organizations generally cannot afford (or don't want) to build and
maintain large HR departments staffed with experts in every HR
discipline.

• Whether or not they have a dedicated HR manager in each

location, most firms don't have enough hours in the day to handle
all the HR issues that they face.

• All too often, firms have a limited professionally trained,

knowledgeable and experienced HR staff. Therefore, they're also
utilizing department heads, supervisors, secretaries, office
managers or finance staff — people with regular full-time jobs —
who now have HR responsibilities piled on.

• Yet with literally hundreds of critical HR topics — and with the field
changing daily — even an HR pro simply cannot stay on top of
everything you need to know and do.

12

• HR Navigator Rely on this large and growing library of instructional

— Best Practices articles for everything you need to know and do in HR.
Unlike the opinion pieces, narratives and hard-to-read
white papers elsewhere in magazines, newsletters or
the web, iWorkwell articles are succinct and to the
point; they're action oriented, include checklists, and
help you complete the task.

Think of HR Navigator as a comprehensive cookbook:

when you need to do X, you only need that recipe —
you don't read all of the other recipes from A to Z, and
you don't have to be a master chef.

The instructions are easy to digest, so that no matter

who you are, you'll keep up with changes in the field,
save time, and consistently follow best practices.

15

iWorkwell Features

• Regulations & Get up-to-date legal information — all of the federal

Forms and state forms, posters, notices, regulations and
instructions you require — about management, health
& safety, staffing/employment and tax & payroll. Many
forms are "smart" which can be completed electronic-
ally (and emailed to employees).

Save time and hassle searching your office or the

Internet for the right information. Stop paying $1,000
per year for quarterly subscriptions of cumbersome
booklets or CDs which may already be out of date by
the time they are printed, packaged, addressed,
shipped and arrive on your desk. On iWorkwell, you'll
have everything you need at your fingertips within
seconds.

• Ask An Expert Receive individualized advice — fast, when you need it:
submit a question, and an expert in that specific
HR topic area will get back to you.

• Training / Access the best* online courses money can buy, and
Development ensure that employees are trained following federal &
state regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, which requires
that all U.S. organizations — not just publicly traded
companies — provide extensive compliance training.
Increase productivity, satisfaction and retention by
upgrading employees' skills with thousands of courses
covering major business and technical topics. As an
iWorkwell member, you'll save thousands of training
dollars per employee each year.

Hypothetical example: If you trained only 5 employees,

you'd save $10,000-15,000 per year. Translate that
to 100 employees … or 1,000.
* Again awarded "Best of
Elearning!"

• Policy Wizard Coming soon. Create the employee handbook you need
to communicate company policies to employees. Follow
this step-by-step guide which illustrates typical types
and terms of policies, then customize it to suit your
workforce, culture, size, industry and location. Instead
of paying lawyers by the hour to write or update your
handbook, you'll save $3,000-$10,000 in legal fees.

• iSurvey Want to know what your customers really think? How

about your suppliers... or your staff? Conduct surveys
for market research or collect feedback from various
stakeholders. Analyze this data — responses,
complaints, ideas — and make improvements: boost
employee morale and retention; improve product
quality and service; increase customer satisfaction;
spark product innovation.

• Assessment Coming soon. Gather quantifiable data about the
Tools personalities, skills and abilities of current employees
and applicants. Learn who is wrong for the position,
who lacks the knowledge or understanding to do the
job, and who has the emotional traits to perform well
within your existing workplace culture.

Hundreds of vendors and thousands of tools are on the

market; which ones are valid, reliable, predictive, and
useful? iWorkwell has done the research and due
diligence, vetted them, and compiled a comprehensive
set of the best tools for the best price.

• Jobs & Attract and retain employees at the appropriate pay

Salaries level. If you're paying too little, your good employees
will leave. If you're paying too much, you're wasting
limited resources which could be better used elsewhere.
Instead, get the facts to get it right: enter geographic
location and job title for the latest monthly
compensation data.

• Background Verify criminal, credit, driving, educational and

Check employment history. Easily and economically reduce
your risks associated with hiring mistakes (e.g.,
unqualified staff, violence, theft, harassment) and
make informed decisions using this service that's #1
in accuracy and client satisfaction.
