I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that Santa brought you everything you needed.

If he forgot one of the Assessors call me and I’ll give you a guided tour!

Merry Christmas!

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

(The office will be closed from Friday the 24th December until Wednesday the 29th December.)

Are you Outsourcing?

I was speaking with someone today who has been using a consultant to benchmark for his clients. He realised the consultant was making more money than he was. The Salary Assessor could be exactly what he needs. He could use the Benchmark tab for each of his clients and then save to a spreadsheet. The Salary Assessor UK/EU Professional Edition costs £489. It’s quick and easy to use and saves on consultancy fees.

If you would like a Guided Tour of the Salary Assessor please let me know.

Instructional Support Materials & Workshops for College Courses – FREE

MATERIALS TO SAVE INSTRUCTORS TIME & EFFORT

ERI and PAQ provide FREE materials and web access services to college instructors who teach about the nature of work (occupations).

PAQ (http://www.paq.com/) collects modern-day work measure content and by doing so, allows the comparison of specific occupations one to another (and incumbents who might fill those jobs). Internal equity, disability determination, and employee placement are outcomes. ERI's (http://www.erieri.com/) focus is more restricted: the competitive rates paid for these specific occupations in varying geographic areas and industries. This narrower vision expands dramatically when one studies the way in which jobs are valued and why differences in pay occur. ERI and PAQ materials are practical. Over 10,000 organizations subscribe, year after year, to ERI's Assessor Series and PAQ's eDOT® and scoring services. Students can learn from these "real world" tools used daily by professionals, including:

1. All 52 www.eridlc.com (ERI Distance Learning Center) (http://www.eridlc.com/) one-hour courses (job analysis, wage/salary, HR) are FREE. Students work through an assigned online course, page by page, answering "advancing" questions. The last page contains an email template to transmit back to the instructor with notice of a student's completion of the assignment. Excellent lab and homework assignments!

2. For Professors/Instructors at nonprofit universities/colleges, ERI provides a FREE subscription to its Consultant Assessor Series® (for the time period of the Syllabus' class).* A payment of $1,000 is required if CAS is used outside the classroom in the Instructor's research or consulting; receipt of this payment will also extend the subscription period to the normal 12 months. ERI research data is used by 1,000s of consultants, the IRS, State AG Offices, etc.

3. Each student will be allowed to score (PDF & online) job analyses and receive created PAQ reports FREE. An Instructor's Account site will show feedback: the # of jobs scored by each student and reports generated.*

4. These same FREE offers are available for Computer Labs (used at Cornell University since 1989) and Career Centers. In the Career Center, students would be able to check salaries for different kinds of positions in different parts of the country and also check cost-of-living data.

* For instructors who wish to have students score PAQ job analyses and/or utilize ERI's Assessor Series, fax a Syllabus of your course with a handwritten # of students, along with your contact information. This offer is available to any accredited university/junior college/technical school. We will send you an Account # and Password or License Code.

ERI and PAQ have supported the training of the next generation of HR professionals since 1974. We are the only firms in America (including state and federal agencies) that collect specific work characteristics of occupations, count specific jobs and assist the disabled or those new to the workplace with information about specific jobs (governments today report only on job families).
