'I don’t know about you, but I for one love Google AutoFill. You know, the function in their search engine box that guesses what you’re going to type next? It’s better known among techies as Google AutoFAIL and the meme sensation of 2008. Anyway, I typed “Staffing Agencies” into Google the other day and some crazy stuff started showing up. At first I laughed, because I just didn’t expect to see that sort of thing.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
