Providing Human Resource
Solutions at the Speed of YOUR
Business!
Welcome from HR Strategy Group

 

Greetings!

The holidays are right around the corner.  I hope you are taking the opportunity to actually enjoy some of it without getting caught up in all of the "hustle and bustle".  If you are getting a bit overstressed, sit down for a minute and catch your breath with this month's newsletter from HRSG.  
 
Our main article this month is a bit off-topic to HR... but great for your "Solopreneurs" out there about "where you work".   Thank you to our guest contributor, Ginny Glover of Business Suites of Columbia, for her article entitled:  Find Your Third Space this Holiday Season and All Year-Long.
 
This month in our Compensation Corner, learn more about the top reasons to streamline your company's compensation plan with support from PayScale.  Something to definitely think about for the new year....
   
And last but not least, a short preview of the new forms required by the FCRA.  If you're not sure what that is all about - - check out our Spot Check article below.   

 

And as we come to the close of another year, we at HR Strategy Group wish you a wonderful holiday season, a happy new year and we look forward to serving you and your organization in 2013! 
  
Best,

Amy Polefrone, President

Find Your Third Space this Holiday Season and All Year-Long

by Ginny Glover, Business Suites of Columbia  

 

The holidays aren't the only season to spend more time with your friends and family.  Spending time with loved ones should happen year-round!

 

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Bureau of Transportation statistics, 59 percent of Americans have a commute that is longer than 15 minutes, 36 percent of those professionals commute between 16 and 30 minutes to work.  This equates to five to 10 days per year spent simply commuting to work!  Imagine the time saved from a commute that is half the distance of your current drive to work.  Working out of the office is an easy way to spend more time with the important people in your life.

Spot Check 

  

Employers must adopt the new FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) forms by January 1, 2013.  The CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) recently announced that employers must modify their FCRA forms (authorization forms to perform background checks) to make clear that the CFPB, not the FTC (Federal Trade Commission), is the agency that consumers should contact about their rights under the FCRA.  This is one of the many changes in response to the  Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 shifting FCRA rule-making authority from the FTC to the new CFPB.

 

Existing HR Strategy Group / NCS clients can go to this site to download these forms.  Otherwise, please contact Amy at 410-505-8723 to get started today.
