Findings & Insights
Gain focus. Move forward.

By providing you with a fresh, objective perspective of HR practices, we can often uncover significant inconsistencies between perception and reality. Based on average results from HR Practices Surveys we have collected since 2006, we uncovered these HR performance roadblocks:

• 88% of survey respondents indicated that they had obtained signed employment applications, yet among those who became MidMarket Solutions clients, only 67% had proper applications on file.
  
  
• 89% of survey respondents indicated that they had collected signed acknowledgments that employee handbooks had been received, yet among those who became MidMarket Solutions clients, only 61% of personnel files actually contained these acknowledgements.
  
  
• 94% of survey respondents indicated that they conducted employee performance reviews, yet among those who became MidMarket Solutions clients, only 34% of employee files contained performance reviews.
  
  
• 71% of survey respondents indicated that they used job descriptions as part of their performance management processes. Considering the legal ramifications of not having job descriptions on file, we were surprised by this startlingly low figure – but the reality was even more surprising. Among respondents who became MidMarket Solutions clients, only 20% of jobs had written descriptions.
