In honor of the holidays, CPEhr will once again be making monetary donations to its non-profit organization clients. Founded in 1982, CPEhr has been providing the California business community with human resources services for close to 30 years. The CPEhr management team celebrates the holidays by giving back to the community and its clients.
“We were seeking a unique way to express our appreciation to our clients,” said Faith Branvold, president of CPEhr. “We’re very fortunate to have their support, and we are constantly thinking of ways to thank them for their business.”
Recipients include:
- ABC Recovery Center
- Asian American Drug Abuse Program
- City of Refuge Ministries
- Etta Israel Center
- Hadassah Southern California
- Homes for Life Foundation
- LINC Housing
- Project New Hope
- Step Up On Second
- The Promises Foundation
- United Cerebral Palsy Los Angeles
- Viewpoints Research Institute
- Westside Children’s Center
All of CPEhr’s for-profit clients received a holiday card featuring a list of the non-profit clients that received donations.
“Every year CPEhr and its employees are involved in charitable causes,” explained Branvold. “During the holiday season we allocate some of this charity with our own non-profits, and share the list with our other clients. This helps them learn about, and support, the non-profit organizations with which we have the pleasure of working.”
Despite 15 years in the HR world, the complexity of human resources administration never ceases to amaze me! No matter how driven or visionary, never has an entrepreneur launched a businesses to grapple with the myriad of laws, regulations, guidelines, recommendations and expectations governing their employees. State and federal laws direct employers on virtually every conceivable employment interaction, and the expectation exists that employers are aware, and comply, with all of them!
We are very happy to announce that CPEhr’s Corporate Counsel Joshua Sable, Esq. was recently recognized as a finalist in the Los Angeles Business Journal’s first annual Corporate Counsel Award.
There is no doubt that adding a few percentage points back into your bottom line would come in handy around now. Sales remain at record lows and employers are still hesitant to hire back lost staff until the economic indicators stop bouncing like a yo-yo. Many employers are looking for new ways to help contain costs and reduce overhead.
For the second consecutive year, we are proud to announce that CPEhr was named one of the ‘Best Places to Work” by the Los Angeles Business Journal. Thousands of businesses participate in the annal “Best Places to Work” competition.
We are already approaching the mid-point of 2010, and the economic forecast remains unclear. While pundits in the first quarter predicted an economic rebound, albeit with a few bumps along the way, the most recent economic indicators remain mixed, at best. Just this week, the ISM (Institute for Supply Management) reported that US supply sectors continued to grow in May, for the third consecutive month. At the same time, ADP released monthly employment figures well below analysts’ predictions.
