How Can You Offer
Employee Programs Oak Brook, IL--Lists
identifying the best companies to work for, or Employers
of Choice and family-friendly companies, have gained a
lot of attention from those employers looking to recruit
and retain talented employees. Choice workplaces boast of
childcare programs, pet insurance and onsite convenience
services. However, very little has been written about how
to start these programs, how to manage them, and how to
align them with the company's goals. Employee Services
Management (ESM) Association has the formula for these
programs in its latest book, Employee Services
Management: A Key Component of Human Resource Management,
(ESM Association $50) by Thomas H. Sawyer, Ed.D. In
this book, funded and directed by the ESM Association
Foundation, Sawyer explains to managers, in companies of
all sizes, everything they need to know to manage a well
rounded employee services program. Implementing attractive employee programs that contribute to the company's bottom line can be complex without the proper guidance. This book provides instructions for managing the following components of a well-rounded employee services program:
Discover how to
market these programs to address employees' work/life
issues, how to generate funds for these programs, and how
to develop a strategic plan for employee services that
positively affects recruitment and retention. Whether you are
building a new employee services program or expanding
what you already have, you will want to read about the
hands-on lessons of experienced employee services
managers. Discover how Ashland Inc. used employee
services to change its corporate culture, and how Quaker
Oats motivated employees and created positive results by
linking its wellness incentives to employee benefits.
This book will guide managers step by step through
implementing the types of programs that have helped SAS
Institute reduce turnover for years. Use helpful
checklists, templates and calculations to save time and
money. Thomas H. Sawyer
interviewed dozens of employee services managers to
develop this new book. He is a professor in the
Department of Recreation and Sport Management at Indiana
State University, Terre Haute, IN. Sawyer has been
teaching higher education for 31 years. He has written
and published four employee services-related books. For additional
