Background checks are ingrained in law and compliance. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), state laws, and local ordinances define relevant requirements and restrictions.

Courts and government agencies are often the sources of some records. In fact, laws may be why you screen in the first place, with many industries facing regulations.

Most importantly, no matter how or why you screen your employees, you, as an employer, have legal obligations. Employers must obtain and use background checks according to various laws.

Join HCI  to learn where compliance updates and background checks are in the news. They will let you in on what trends we are tracking, from automatic expungement laws to wider recreational cannabis legalization.

You’ll also see how courts are ruling on cases involving critical disclosure and authorization documents.

While some practitioners of strategic HR fear that AI might one day replace them, the reality for the foreseeable future is far more encouraging: AI is powerful tool, but like any tool, it is only as effective as the human being who deploys it.

AI is not here to supplant our work—it is here to guide and supplement our efforts, lending a competitive advantage to those who can harness its power.

Nowhere is this more true than in the realm of workforce planning. For large and complex organizations, planning was once an arduous and lengthy process, whereby hundreds of distinct talent needs across diverse geographies had to be identified, studied, and projected with careful attention.

Now, AI can do much of this initial heavy lifting in minutes, freeing up the planner to focus on the critical 20% of talent that drives the most value.  Speeding up the initial planning process leaves ample time for refinement and execution.

Key takeaways:

• Pitfalls of your current workforce planning effort and how they can be remedied with AI
• How to move beyond role-based planning to better understand current and future skill gaps and surpluses
• How WFP will provide better guidance for external hiring and internal mobility
• How to increase managers’ adoption of AI in their strategic workforce planning

This webinar will cover LaborIQ’s predictions for the remainder of 2023, with a focus on how labor market and compensation trends will continue moderating to historic norms.

But with a labor force that’s not growing as fast as demand, and an unemployment rate near historic lows, the labor market will remain incredibly tight and competition for talent is unlikely to let up. Despite a labor market that’s cooling, compensation demands and wage growth will still put pressure on businesses’ overall talent attraction and retention strategies.

Join Jay Denton, (LinkedIn profile) Chief Analyst at LaborIQ and Mallory Vachon, Ph.D., (LinkedIn profile) Senior Economist at LaborIQ as they provide actionable insights into navigating the labor shortage and compensation demands of 2023. Katie Coleman, (LinkedIn profile) Product Marketing Manager at Circa will provide some “must-have” resources that are essential to any recruiter’s outreach strategy including ways to amplify your diversity recruiting efforts.

Incentives and rewards can be leveraged as powerful tools that support employees in reaching their well-being goals.

Not surprisingly, incentives and rewards have been linked with higher well-being program and health coaching participation rates, health risk reduction and sustained behavior changes, even beyond the incentivization period of time.

However, designing, implementing and evaluating well-being rewards can be both difficult and time-consuming.

In this webinar, Dr. Christina Shane-Simpson (LinkedIn profile) will dive into the research on incentive and reward strategies in the modern workforce to identify best practices for well-being programs, including the steps needed to build an incentive strategy, how to communicate the strategy and opportunities to evaluate whether your strategy is working.

Christina will unravel how both monetary and non-monetary forms of rewards can be harmoniously implemented, highlighting the advantages both can bring in motivating and retaining talent.

What you will learn:

• Which incentive and reward strategies are most powerful at achieving well-being results
• The steps to build an effective incentive and reward strategy
• How to communicate and frame your incentive and reward strategy
• Opportunities to evaluate your current reward and incentive and strategy
