In response to current economic pressures, companies are forced to quickly rethink their ways of operating and learn new groundrules. Working through a myriad of challenges, business must continue to remain focused on profitability and stability.

On Thursday, May 22, CPEhr participated in the Los Angeles Venture Association's (LAVA) Los Angeles chapter meeting entitled, "Dealing with a Down Economy - Doing More with Less". Click here for photos of the event.

The meeting included a panel of experts, including CPEhr's CFO, Grace Drulius. The panel discussed "Doing More with Less" and provided insights and experiences on the following issues:

• Experiences from companies - suggested do’s and don’ts
• Rightsizing employee levels – rules and best practices to be aware of
• New employee relationships - potential for lower cost and greater flexibility
• Rethinking what’s a core function – outsourcing or selling non-core functions
• Using technology - lower operating costs and increase efficiency.
