HR Thought Leaders Reveal the Secret to Workforce Productivity and Compliance


(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 08 July 2014 Release date- 07072014 - Gainesville, Fla.- SumTotal Systems, LLC, the largest independent provider of learning and HR solutions, will host two thought leader panels this month focused on aligning workforce management strategies with learning programs.



Workforce management solutions traditionally focus on retrospective analysis of scheduling effectiveness, time and attendance and cost management. However, workforce management is quickly becoming the lynchpin in successfully maintaining compliance. Being able to engage, plan, educate and measure the effectiveness of compliance initiatives is one of the most complex challenges facing HR and operation teams today.

Almost 90% of organizations have to comply with two or more regulatory requirements.[1] About half of businesses lack confidence that they will be able to keep up with constantly changing human resources (HR) laws and regulations[2] Organizations with effective integration of learning and talent systems are three times as likely to have strong employee results and 100% more likely to have strong business results.[3] 'With today's constantly changing business needs and increasingly complicated labor regulations, organizations must think of learning and development as a core function of workforce management. In planning the efficacy and compliance of their workforce, companies no longer have the luxury of viewing skills and knowledge as a constant. To optimize the workforce, we must create an environment of engagement and continuous development that addresses not only today's needs, but ensures that the workforce is prepared for what comes next,' said Ted Frederick, SumTotal's vice president of workforce management. 'Implementing a cohesive set of workforce and learning management solutions can help companies avoid operational inefficiencies, ensure compliant activity, maximize productivity, and ultimately improve their bottom line.' Register today to learn how your organization can increase competitive its advantage and minimize compliance risks by linking workforce management strategies with learning initiatives.
