Best Move

I think joining Associated Employers & MSSC was one of the best moves we\'ve made in a while. Everybody is very knowledgeable & helpful on every issue I have approached you with. If you don\'t know the answer, you know where to steer me. Again, \"thank you\".

Outstanding Organization

We here at Hanser\'s are not only thankful for your services that you provide each year, but are also very proud to be a member of such an outstanding organization! Your people there have been a tremendous help to us in many different cases. I suppose what I admire the most is that, when you say you will research something and call me back, you actually do!! That says a lot in today\'s world! I wish us both great success this year!

Thank you, Kimmer Stratton, Hanser\'s Automotive & Wr

Thoroughly Enjoyed

I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation yesterday and I learned a lot, which coming from someone who’s been working for over 50 years that’s quite an accomplishment. Your style was very engaging; everyone in the room was very attentive. I’ve worked with you many times, it’s comforting to know that an HR professional is just a call or email away when we need help.

Bringing Succession Planning to the Table

When you think of succession planning, what comes to mind? Is it simply “replacement” planning? Is it cross-training? Is it identifying your “high potentials” within your company? Do you groan, thinking to yourself, “This is going to take more effort than I have time for”?

Succession planning can be all of the above, and more. However, it is also a key component to making your business successful and sustainable.

For a succession plan to work effectively, everything needs to be put on the table, no matter how uncomfortable for those involved. This is especially true for those small, family-owned operations, which make up the majority of businesses in our geographical area. Typically, it’s only when the company’s principal – owner, president, chief bottle washer – starts daydreaming about retirement that a succession strategy is put on the radar. By that time, it could be too late.

Employers, don’t get caught short – a team of outside advisors can help guide your way to a successful roadmap. Associated Employers’ HR Business Partners stand ready to assist you.
