MARLBOROUGH, MA--(Marketwire - September 10, 2009) - Workscape, Inc., a leading provider of
outsourced benefits and talent
management solutions, today announced details of its participation in
the
2009 Texas Total Rewards Conference, to be held Monday, September 21,
2009 through Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at The Renaissance Hotel, 6
Greenway Plaza East, Houston. Workscape experts will present two sessions,
one on outsourcing the risks associated with the benefits process and the
second on maximizing the value of compensation year round.
While the country remains in an economic depression and budgets are
stretched to their limits, more HR departments are turning to benefits
outsourcing to save on costs. Marc Moschetto, Workscape's director of
product marketing, Outsourced Benefits Administration, will discuss how
companies can inherently outsource the risks associated with these benefits
processes during "Outsourcing Benefits Means Outsourcing Risk: Rewards in
Outsourced Benefits Administration" on Monday, September 21 from 9:15
a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Attendees of this session will learn how to determine
the risks created by their companies' benefits administration programs and
how outsourcing can mitigate these risks; what it is costing companies --
in expenses and resources -- when benefits administration-related risks are
managed internally; and how to choose the right outsourcing partner.
When looking for ways to meet tighter budgets, many HR departments focus
mainly on cost cutting and are less concerned with employee engagement and
retention. According to Workscape, this is a mistake, as engaged employees
are more productive and top performers can find employment in any economy.
In fact, as many companies cannot currently grant traditional merit raises
or bonuses, the true value of total rewards becomes more important to
employees. Robert Mattson, Workscape's senior manager of Product Marketing,
will discuss how to rein in costs while still providing competitive
compensation during his presentation "The 365 Days of HR: Maximizing Value and Controlling
Compensation Year Round" on Monday, September 21, from 11:00 a.m. to
noon. He will use real-world examples to illustrate how companies
implemented cutting-edge techniques to improve their processes and
transform a static, focal compensation window into a dynamic, year-round
process. He will discuss how to balance different compensation processes
and information requirements throughout the year, as well as how to
effectively communicate the value of benefits to employees. Additionally,
he will discuss how to avoid mistakes that can cost organizations millions
of dollars annually.
Throughout the conference, company representatives will be on hand in the
exhibits area to discuss Workscape's solutions.
