Human Resources Management: Best Practices and Top Trends
Best Practices
As a human resources and payroll services company with broad, deep expertise in all areas of human resource management, Ceridian uses its knowledge of HR best practices to focus on its own employee programs. The best practices case studies included here highlight how we have used this knowledge to improve the effectiveness of our employee programs and -- in most cases -- realize bottom-line advantages as well.- Better human resource management: An introduction to Ceridian's best practices case studies

August 2010. From 2008 to 2009, Ceridian began a detailed review of its employee recruiting, hiring, and training policies and practices. Using key business process improvement methodologies, Ceridian examined, measured and ultimately improved its talent acquisition efforts.

April 2010. Faced with a common business problem, Ceridian used its HR KnowHow to examine the company's medical benefit and improve it.

December 2009. Ceridian reviewed its own personal time off (PTO) programs to look for areas for improvement.

November 2009. This best practices case study explains how Ceridian made a careful, measured analysis of its own 401(k) plan and subsequently implemented three changes that achieved its overall goals AND reduced plan costs by an estimated $3.265 million in year-over-year expenses.
