Ohio Chamber Launches Free On-Line Human Resources Solutions Center

The Ohio Chamber of Commerce has teamed up with HR Comply and American Chamber of Commerce Publishers (ACCP) to offer our members an impressive and comprehensive one-stop human resource center designed to help any size business. This new service can be found on the Ohio Chamber’s Web site at www.ohiochamber.com and then click on the HR Comply banner at the bottom of the page. The HR Solutions Center gives Chamber members on-line access to extensive human resource information that helps businesses manage employees from hiring to retiring – topics covered include compliance, payroll, hiring, training, insurance, seminars, surveys and more.

As a special enhancement for Chamber members only, the HR Solutions Center has seven FREE items. The free items include essential posters and forms, a model employee handbook, filing forms deadlines, model employment policies, weekly e-mail HR news updates, model job descriptions and a guide to changes in employment laws.

According to Barry Kennedy, vice president, membership and member services for the Chamber, the HR Solutions Center is a necessary tool for any size business. “In this day in age, with so much for a small business owner or an HR manager to consider, our HR Solutions Center provides much needed information in an easy-to-use format. Our members will really get some fantastic usable information at no cost to them through our seven free services.”

Each week, the HR Solutions Center features human resources news articles that impact Ohio employers. These articles are designed to assist in keeping businesses up-to-date, saving companies valuable time and money. Also included is a section on frequently asked human resources questions. The HR Solution Center lists the top questions and answers asked of human resource experts who answer calls and e-mail to the HR HelpLine, another key service for Ohio Chamber members.

The HR Solutions Center offers the services of HR Comply and ACCP for compliance information and Title VII training, as well as CompData for salary surveys. All of these products are available to Chamber members at a significant discount.

Be sure to visit the HR Solutions Center and use the seven free services offered. The HR Solutions Center can be found on the Ohio Chamber’s Web site at www.ohiochamber.com and then click on HR Comply at the bottom of the page.
