A changing workplace. New legislative and regulatory developments, increased globalization, the rising cost of healthcare, social security and pension reform, an aging workforce…and the list goes on. The business environment in the US has changed dramatically over the years—and Human Resources professionals are at the forefront of if all.
As an HR professional in today's workplace, you are faced with many challenges involving financial management, risk management and compliance, operational excellence and transaction effectiveness. You must manage the cost and complexity of retirement plans such as individual savings/401(k)s, defined benefit pension plans and defined benefit/defined contribution hybrids; find balance between the cost and quality of healthcare while encouraging your employees to take responsibility for their own health by making healthier choices; address the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other regulatory compliance issues; and keep people, your most valuable asset, motivated and competitive in a changing workplace.

Are you prepared for the people issues you may face in the wake of organizational change?
