Economic conditions are slowly improving and according to a recent report by the Society for Human Resource Management, human resource professionals’ confidence in the job market is showing a substantial increase for the third quarter of 2010. According to the SHRM third quarter survey, 56 percent of HR professionals have some level of confidence in the U.S. job market in the third quarter of 2010 and expect job growth. This is up from 37 percent in the third quarter of 2009. In the third quarter of 2010, 31 percent of companies say they will conduct hiring compared to 21 percent in the third quarter of 2009.
If your company is one of the 31 percent planning to hire, is your benefits process as efficient as it could be for new employees?
