What do past attendees have to say about the event?
"What are the benefits of coming to INSIGHTS? One of them is the knowledge that you gain. The conference benefits my organization because our employees come back with new information on new technology and they also get a refresher on anything that they might be using on a day-to-day basis. We benefit by coming to INSIGHTS and interacting with other people who are also using the Ceridian software. We might be doing a process one way and then in the classes we hear people give suggestions or ideas or new techniques that we're able to take back to our own company to apply to our processes as well."
-- Medda Hammock, Director of Accounting and Payroll, Goodwill of North Georgia
"I feel that I get a very good return on investment at INSIGHTS. I take a lot of notes and always look forward to getting back to the office to start changing a couple of the practices. And I think overall it helps to cut down on some processing -- which gives me more time to focus on other things."
-- Carmelita Bambrick, Payroll and Benefits Professional, McNaughton McKay Electric
"I know that the investment that my company makes in sending me to INSIGHTS provides a return. I gain increased knowledge and information that I can bring back to the company, as well as new ideas that I want them to consider. It's well worth the effort."
-- Sharon Goldsand, Payroll Supervisor, Woods Equipment Company
"INSIGHTS is the best place for training. The best of the best come to INSIGHTS to train on the report writing, import, database, integrity and all of the breakout sessions.
"The networking at INSIGHTS is also really exceptional. You get to meet people who are going through some of the same things that you go through, and you trade ideas. And you may give someone something that they can take back and use in their environment and they can give you something you can take back and use in yours.
"The return on investment of coming to INSIGHTS has been exceptional. In four days, I can get more training than I could by going to the training sessions within my own city."
-- Patrice Kight, Payroll Manager, Genesis Energy, Inc.
