Tip of the Day: Eco-Friendly HR

Companies across the U.S. are going green, and that doesn't mean that the HR department needs to be an exception. Consulting firm CheckPoint HR says that the human resources department can easily shape up their eco-awareness with these five simple tips.

• Sign up for direct deposit and eliminate the printed pay stub and payroll reports.
• Enroll in an online training course and eliminate lengthy training guides. Online classes also provide flexibility to engage classes at the convenience of the employee.
• HR executives can provide employees the capability to view and update information electronically such as personal data, licenses and certifications, benefits changes and PTO, eliminating the paper trail.
• Employers can use a Web-based platform to alert employees of updated corporate policies, vacation schedules, new hires, birthdays and more.
• Upload all company specific documents, including your company handbook, W4 form, 1-9, and any internal documents for effortless employee accessibility.
