For over a decade, Workscape has been delivering game-changing HR technologies and services to organizations seeking to improve their talent management and benefits administration processes. This document provides an overview of our business, our capabilities and – most importantly – the Workscape team that can help to transform your HR objectives into strategic success for your business.

At Workscape, we understand that controlling HR costs and optimizing corporate performance are the responsibilities of every employee. That’s why we offer a comprehensive Outsourced Benefits Administration (OBA) solution that transforms the annual benefits enrollment process from a routine transaction to a strategic business process.

The Human Capital Institute, a think tank and educational resource for professionals and executives in management, HR/OD and recruiting, conducted a survey of its membership to identify current market perceptions and emerging needs surrounding the integration of benefits and talent management solutions into a single, employee centric solution offered on an integrated platform. The findings of the survey bring to light several key benefits of the employee-centric talent management solution.

This study was conducted by the Human Capital Institute and Workscape in February 2009. It is based on a survey of 308 HCI members, more than half of whom are human capital and human resources managers, directors and executives. This study was co ‐ developed and underwritten by Workscape .

In this video, Workscape President & CEO Tim Clifford shares examples of how leading companies incent and motivate top performers in creative ways as part of Total Rewards strategy.

When asked how she gives employee feedback, Carol Bartz (CEO of Yahoo) had this answer: "I have the puppy theory. When the puppy pees on the carpet, you say something right then because you don't say six months later, "Remember that day, January 12th, when you peed on the carpet?" That doesn't make any sense. "This is what's on my mind. This is quick feedback." And then I'm on to the next thing." Especially important in this economic climate are the following questions: How does your organization manage feedback to employees? An annual review can be such a generalized view of a given employee's performance, with few concrete areas for improvement that relate back to specific areas of concern. How is your organization currently handling reviews? Does it seem outdated, or do both employees and leaders see meaningful gains following reviews? Join us for this webcast to examine how more regular communications and changes in process enable organizations to retain top performers, drive better performance and heal the grudges and grievances caused by the recession.

Learn about best practices that drive year-round performance management while improving communications between managers and their direct reports. Hear specific tips and real world examples. Get visibility into questions like:

What are the keys to driving performance 365 days a year?
How can you make it easy and part of your day, not an added task?
How can you balance focus across the process, not just on the evaluation?
What’s the best way to ensure the discussion is about more than the score/rating?
What are the benefits of a 365 Performance Management process to you, your direct reports, and your organization?

For the past 12-18 months, prudent businesses have flipped into "cash preservation" mode to insulate the business from the negative effects of the economy. The reduction or elimination of bonuses and merit increases that have protected your business through the downturn, however, can have a detrimental effect on retention as markets improve. How do you know when to begin making the turn from 'cash preservation' mode to 'talent preservation' mode? Where do you start and what can you do to keep your best workers motivated, focused and loyal in the meantime? This webcast will focus on planning and managing your workforce through this balancing act-- and coming out as an employer of choice in the upturn.

Each year there are regular processes that employees and managers hate.  Performance reviews.  Compensation planning.  Setting goals.  Not only are these laborious, but what is the real value they are providing to the company and employees?  In this webinar, Robert Mattson, Senior Manager of Product Marketing details how and why to change annual HR-driven compensation and performance processes into employee embraced activities that are part of day-to-day life and enable better communication and engagement.  Using insights into recent economic history, real-life company examples and the results of hundreds of conversations with HR thought leaders, he will provide the tools and techniques to get more out of your compensation and performance processes.

Health care costs have nearly doubled in the past 10 years. It appears that health care reform is not a matter of if but when. Are you ready for the dramatic changes ahead? How will the proposed Affordable Health Choices Act legislation impact you, your organization and your employees?

As a benefits leader, it is imperative for you to be able to provide business insight and perspective on the proposed health care changes to your organization. The new plan proposal will directly impact how you provide and deliver benefits to your employees.

For an up-to-the-minute perspective on the challenges you are expected to face and the issues you’ll need to address, join us for a briefing on the 2009 Affordable Health Choices Act -- Its impact to HR and Benefit Professionals, their employers and employees.

During the briefing we’ll discuss:
• The historical perspective of health care reform and why it's such an issue today
• The Administration’s Guiding Principles for the legislation and the potential paths the reform legislation may take
• A comparison to the Clinton 1993 Health Recovery Act
• Details of the Affordable Health Choices Act and the changes being recommended by legislative committees to ensure passage
• The challenges you and your employer are expected to face as the plan develops and its impact to your organization

Presented by Workscape and HCI - When you are striving to be an employee-centric employer, your goal is to provide your employees with a holistic and collaborative experience. To retain and attract high performers, it's crucial to align your rewards program with their expectations. In this fragile economic climate with shifting demographics, can you be sure what those expectations are and how they may shift in the next decade? Walking the tightrope between total rewards and cost containment is inevitable for many of us as we face monetary and generational challenges. Therefore, it's more important than ever to understand what your priorities should be-- retirement? health care? or something else entirely? This webcast will address trends in total rewards and what you can do to stay on the cutting edge of employee needs while still balancing your budget. Additionally, we'll address how to communicate those rewards-- and examine how best information practices can be a reward in itself.

During a time when bonus pools are drying-up and merit increases are being cut, employers need a way to help key employees stay focused, productive and – most of all – loyal. Total Rewards or Total Compensation statements are becoming increasingly popular ways to accomplish this task. This whitepaper provides a comprehensive overview.
