    REDUCING COSTS WITHOUT NEGATIVELY IMPACTING BENEFITS AND YOUR EMPLOYEES

    JUNE 3, 2009 

    It’s a challenge in today’s economy to control costs, yet offer benefits that retain quality employees.  As a decision-maker, you have the ability to suggest compensation strategies that are tied to both job performance and the overall performance of your company.  In addition, you have significant control over the cost of your company’s benefits.  You have the ability to lower your retirement plan's overall expenses by being an informed buyer and shopping around. 

    Are you aware of your fiduciary responsibilities for your qualified plan?  Do you know how to spot those hidden fees that are not always accurately reflected in your contract?  How are you rewarding your employees, by seniority only?
     

    Benefits of Attending this Free Workshop:
    •  Find out how to reward to retain and engage key employees
    •  Learn the importance of what it means to be a Fiduciary

  • 04/27/2009 — Staffing Solutions Goes Paperless

     

     

    As a leading recruiting and staffing provider, SSE has made a corporate commitment to minimize its carbon footprint by adopting a paperless organization system and promote the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

    SSE Goes Paperless

    Our workday at SSE is designed around an electronic data system, reducing our dependence on wasteful paper-trail procedures.  All job orders and postings are handled electronically providing an easier and faster process for clients and job seekers.  We have also developed an electronic talent database that puts all available talent at a recruiter’s fingertips in an instant reducing the need for printed files. 

    SSE has also eliminated the need for paper timesheets with SSE TimeConnect.  This electronic technology allows time approval without the reliance on paper timecards and helps speed up the approval process for clients and employees.

    Our Think, Then Print initiative not only saves paper, but also reduces the need for physical storage and simplifies document searching. 

    SSE Employee Green Program

    SSE has also established a corporate green program which provides education and awareness to employees on ways to make environmentally friendly choices at the office and at home, such as recycling, reducing consumption and reusing materials.

  • 03/15/2008 — SSE's Managed Staffing Service Saves ERC Members Millions on Temporary Staffing

    SSE's Managed Staffing Service StaffMatrix has been saving ERC members millions of dollars on their temporary staffing costs since 2002. For the fifth year in a row a group of 27 ERC members experienced a 20% reduction in their total temporary staffing costs compared to industry averages.

    As an alternative to traditional national contracts and vendor management systems, StaffMatrix in partnership with ERC, has tailored its temporary management system to meet the needs of both large and small ERC member companies. StaffMatrix provides organizations with the ability to control utilization of temporary staffing, improve quality, streamline administration and effectively manage time, and reduce actual expense.

    ERC Member Companies utilized StaffMatrix as a primary way to hire permanent candidates. 295 temporaries (37%) were added to staff in 2007. Other reasons for utilizing temporaries were as follows:

    • Special Projects 158
    • Cover Employee Absence 125
    • Increase in Workload 94
    • Cover During Internal Vacancy 48
    • Medical Leave/FMLA 24
    • Vacation/Holiday Coverage 2
    • Non-specified reason 52

    2007 ERC Member Results:

    • 798 temporaries placed
    • National vendor network of 27 staffing providers
    • 181 different job titles within the staffing categories of Administrative, Accounting/Finance, Light Industrial, Engineering, Supply Chain, Banking, Scientific, IT, Human Resources, Healthcare
    • Turn-over 13.2% (industry average 18-20%)
    • Time-to-Fill varied significantly between companies due to pre-employment requirements (i.e criminal check and drug tests), internal interview requirements, and level of position. Average w/o an interview was 2.3 days against a benchmark of less than 3 days
    • Temporary employee performance ratings 3.91 (scale 1 – 5 with 5 being the highest) against a minimum standard of 3.0

    For more information on how StaffMatrix can help your organization, please contact Kimberly Lehotsky at klehotsky@staffsol.com or 440/684-7218 ext. 126.
