One of our incredible clients from Boise, ID recently shared with us this story that hits right at the heart of social media and HR practices.

I can’t believe that December is actually here! Some days I’m thinking, “Didn’t we just have Y2K?” Here at Employers Resource, we are very busy getting ready for the end of year and for New Year tasks (like updating tax and benefit rates). We are also celebrating Christmas and being grateful to you for another […]
Here at Employers Resource, our mission is simple. “…to make the lives of our clients and their employees easier.” That’s not just our “talk.” Let me share with you how my team “walks.” The recent devastation in Texas due to Hurricane Harvey has been truly horrifying, and my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone […]

The death of an employee is one example of the type of challenging event you could experience. We hope you never have to experience something like this. Watch this video, learn […]
I have a love/hate kind of thing with Halloween. Some years I’m all in, and some years are kind of like “yeah, yeah.” This year, a crazy election season has coincided (yes, craziest election time ever).
