PROGRAM: 

Wages, Benefits, and New Hires: Data for HR Managers 

Compensation and benefits are critical pieces in the Human Resources puzzle!  They impact staffing decisions, budgetary allocations and are a key part of the short and long term strategic planning in any organization.

During the presentation, data will be shared regarding wages, benefits, hiring trends and changes to local industries that have the potential to impact many local businesses. Time will be spent sharing how the recent economic downturn and loss of jobs in the oil and gas industry are impacting statewide employment and wage trends. 

We will then look to forecasted trends in insurance, construction, hospitality, and higher education/community colleges, all businesses that play a key role in the Cheyenne economy.  The presentation will conclude with a brief overview of online resources available to HR and recruiting professionals through the Wyoming workforce.

TAKE AWAYS: 

Those who attend the presentation will gain a better understanding of the nature and location of data available to hiring managers who need to make decisions regarding wages and benefits.
