Employee satisfaction isn’t just a feel-good metric — it’s the cornerstone of high-performing organizations. When employees feel valued and engaged, it drives retention, productivity, and overall business success. Many factors go into employee satisfaction, but pay and benefits form the core. But even when organizations provide competitive compensation, many employees don’t understand the true value of their total rewards. This lack of understanding can lead to undervaluing - and underappreciating - their total rewards package. Educating employees about the true value of their pay, benefits, and perks is what we do at RewardsFocus. Total rewards communications drive a deeper sense of appreciation and loyalty, strengthen morale, and align individual goals with organizational objectives. Contact us to learn more about how we can help you communicate the total rewards message to your workforce. https://lnkd.in/eeq_mXDV

The California Pay Transparency Act (SB 1162), effective from January 1, 2023, aims to enhance wage equity and transparency within workplaces. It mandates that employers with 15 or more employees disclose salary ranges for job openings, encompassing all positions within the company. This transparency initiative extends to sharing pay ranges with current employees upon request. Additionally, private employers with 100 or more employees are obligated to annually report median and mean hourly pay rates by gender, race, and ethnicity for different job categories to the California Civil Rights Department. This reporting requirement serves to pinpoint potential wage gaps and promote accountability in pay practices. Moreover, employers must maintain records of job titles and wage histories for each employee during and post-employment for up to three years. This record-keeping provision facilitates investigations into pay discrimination allegations, ensuring a fair and equitable work environment. Non-compliance with the California Pay Transparency Act can result in penalties, including fines, for employers failing to disclose salary ranges accurately or report pay data as mandated. Upholding these regulations is crucial for fostering fair pay practices and reducing disparities, particularly those rooted in gender and race.

5 Reasons why companies invest in Outplacement Services: Because they care about departing staff... because better departures reduce risk of damage to employer brand or of litigation... because more supported departures lead to better morale amongst remaining team members... It's different for every company. The weights shift. But in the end, most employers who offer outplacement know it's the right thing to do. Read more: https://hubs.li/Q02L-9_m0

In our discussion about SHRM, one thing I wanted to highlight was - why does it all matter anyway? What impact do SHRM and its CEO really have on HR, employees, the workforce and so on? Morgan Williams describes that here while in conversation with me, Sarika Lamont and Tracie Sponenberg on the most recent episode of Toot or Boot. You can find the entire episode here: https://lnkd.in/gFBJgiC5

Let’s dive into the definitions and roles of contingent and remote workers in the modern workforce.   Contingent Workers A contingent worker is most simply defined as a flexible worker hired on a temporary or fixed-term contract basis to provide certain services for a defined period. This group includes freelancers, independent contractors, consultants as well as part-time employees.   Remote Workers “Remote worker” refers to workers who work off site from the business’s main operations center. Often these workers operate from their home office, but there are instances where they simply work in a different location.   https://lnkd.in/gKYF3JgG
