First Reference to distribute HR eSource

The Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA) has signed an agreement with First Reference, of Concord, Ontario, to distribute HR eSource, its online HR skills development program, reports Newswire.

The program was developed with funding from the Canadian government to improve the HR management skills of small business operators.

"As a leading provider of HR policy and compliance reference products for small business, First Reference is ideally positioned to reach the audience for which HR eSource was developed," said HRPA CEO Bill Greenhalgh.

International Dairy Queen, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berkshire-Hathaway that services more than 5 600 Dairy Queen restaurants in the US, Canada, and other international locations, has streamlined human resources and payroll with UltiPro, delivered through Ultimate's Software's software-as-a-service, says Businesswire.

Previously, each of Dairy Queen's locations processed its payroll individually by calling in its HR/payroll details to a third-party vendor, a process which was manual and inefficient.

With UltiPro, the human resources team has immediate access to company-wide payroll processes and data.

Gresham Smith & Partners (GS&P), a global architecture and engineering firm, has selected the Spectrum iVantage solution to manage the organisation's workforce, states PRWeb.

“HRMS Solutions helped us evaluate several different HRIS vendors and provided the product presentations for us. They worked with us to narrow down our choices and we ultimately selected iVantage by Spectrum," says Gordon Vaughn, GS&P IT manager.

“GS&P wanted to improve their operational efficiency by implementing a solution which would allow a single point of data entry to transfer seamlessly to Deltek Vision," explains Mike Maiorino, president of HRMS Solutions. "With so many remote offices, taking advantage of intelligent workflows, paperless performance reviews, and self-service tools in a Web-based HRIS system like iVantage made perfect sense."
