    Employee Compensation and Benefits

    Employee compensation and benefits is one of the hottest topics in many companies today. Even with some high-profile organizations trimming back staffing levels, competition for top talent remains strong. In this month’s Ruch Riff’s podcast, I talk to George Murphy, a leading corporate benefits expert and Executive Vice President at 4C Digital Health, on why employee benefits matter more than ever and how organizations can differentiate themselves by providing employees with competitive benefits offerings. George is one of the most knowledgeable benefits executives I know, so I’m confident you will find his comments informative. The podcast is short so take a couple of minutes to listen to it and let me know what you think.

    Partnerships between students, education and enterprises are critical in developing a pipeline for future workers. Dr. John Niser, Director of FDU's International School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, who works with the leisure and hospitality industry on ways to recruit and retain workers believes that young adults are looking for organizations where they can grow. They are seeking companies where managers are no longer bosses, but rather mentors. Companies must come to terms with a fundamental shift in how skills are passed on.
