FutureWork Live Virtual

The year 2020 has offered HR leaders an opportunity to re-write the rules – Let’s take advantage of it!

It is imperative that we continue to boost employee morale to keep our work cultures strong. Consider erasing some of those endless meetings from calendars and find innovative ways to engage coworkers. Replace mundane best practices with a structure that is fresh, new, and right for your unique organizations.

• Eliminating the industry standard best practices to come up with a talent management solution that is right for your people.
• Cultivating a culture that aligns with the values that your company puts forth in a traditional office setting.

On August 26th the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published an update to SEC Regulation S-K that mandates, for the first time, public disclosure of human capital metrics by companies subject to SEC reporting.
