Spring has sprung, and it's (almost) time to put away your winter coat. During any workplace season, it’s easy in HR to get caught up in managing the day-to-day, so we’ve put together a list of items you should consider adding to your master clean-up list.

At this point, you may already be familiar with popular virtual assistant technologies such as Siri or Alexa. These Artificially Intelligent (AI) virtual assistants can do an array of tasks in an instant. Checking the weather, playing music, finding directions, and reading the news are all tasks that can be done simply by prompting the tabletop device in your home. Which brings the question, if these devices can help people every day in their homes, what are the ways they can bring AI into their workplace?

Developing an annual HR budget may become monotonous when line items stay the same year after year. Shake things up and give your budget the refresher it so desperately needs. Reexamine your budget with a new mindset and ensure it includes your actual departmental needs.

Compliance is a key element to the success of any business. The stack of forms to fill out and continual upcoming deadlines can be overwhelming. We've created the 2018 HR Compliance Timeline to help you stay on top of it.
