On Point tips and advice can help managers and employees work more efficiently and maintain a productive work environment.
Following 2020 and the great resignation, there was a rise in small businesses throughout the U.S. Many people, whether laid off due to the pandemic or ready for a new venture, decided it was time to follow their dream of owning a small business. And according to the Census Bureau, more than 4.4 million new businesses were created in the U.S. during 2020 — the highest total on record.
Have you ever looked around a boardroom or read a Fortune 500 magazine and noticed how male-dominated these spaces are? That’s not a coincidence. Women only started getting the opportunity to progress in business roles about 60 years ago, compared to the hundreds of years men have spent in leadership.
Black-owned businesses have a significant impact on their local communities! According to the 2020 Annual Business Survey (ABS) from the US Census Bureau, in 2020, there were over 130,000 Black-owned businesses totaling 1.3 million employees across the United States.
Have you ever experienced an employee getting hurt on the job? Your answer may be no, but workplace injuries can be severe, and are more common than you’d think. For example, in just 2021, the Bureau of Labor Statistics data indicated that 2.2 million workers comp cases were filed.
Processing payroll is a more complex process than most people realize. It’s not just about sending paychecks on time and validating hours—it also involves tax withholding, employee benefits administration, legal compliance, and cost management. In addition to these tasks, many payroll responsibilities are ultra-detail-oriented, high-stakes, and constantly evolving.
Interviews play a critical role in hiring but often fail to provide employers with a complete understanding of the candidates they engage. The interview process should offer an essential opportunity for both sides: the interviewer gets to understand if the candidate is the right fit for the open role, and the candidate gets to decide if the position is what they’re looking for.
