Understanding the Difference Between Contractors and Employees
May 2013 - Now Available
The government's definition of who qualifies as a contractor and who is an employee is murky. As the Labor Department steps up enforcement activities, a recent ruling by a Texas federal district court is significant: The court ruled against the Department of Labor in a case (Gate Guard Services, L.P. v. Hilda L. Solis) involving employee classification, marking the first time the government did not prevail in such a case. In this timely webcast, you will hear from one of the attorneys who represented Gate Guard Services in the case, Annette Idalski.

Avoiding the Engagement Cliff
May 2013
Sponsored by Bunchball
Companies know they need to counter the effects of employee disengagement, and that anything they can do to motivate training and development, process adoption, collaboration, and job performance will have a significant business impact. The challenge is that traditional solutions often are only effective at engaging employee attention or adoption in the short term, but fail at driving sustained participation -- a phenomenon known as the dreaded "Engagement Cliff." In this program, Barry Kirk of Bunchball will explore what causes the engagement cliff, how understanding the concept of "Attention Currency" is critical to reversing this trend, and how the concept of "Loyalty 3.0" (the confluence of big data, motivation and gamification) is helping companies drive sustained and profitable engagement with their employees, sales teams and channel partners.
