The health of your company is determined by its people.
It’s pretty clear that the fortunes of your company are decided more by the quality of your people than by any other factor.
As long as you have people, you need ASE – the American Society of Employers.
The American Society of Employers (ASE) provides programs and services that enable member organizations to address their most challenging human resources issues. As a member, you’ll bring to your company the power of professionals who specialize in the most effective people strategies. You’ll benefit from survey information, research access, legislative updates, a 24/7 virtual library exclusive to ASE members, interactive roundtables, extensive networking opportunities, and reliable information sent in a timely fashion on the full spectrum of professional people issues.
As a member, you’ll enjoy:
Compensation and Benefits Surveys
ASE provides a number of compensation and benefit surveys throughout the year. Our surveys span a broad range of industry sectors, giving you the information you need to attract, retain and motivate a top-notch workforce. ASE will save you time and money by providing data that will help you determine job worth and compensation that will position your company where you want it to be in the market, and help you design competitive benefit packages.
Research Services
Find out just how good personal service can be, with ASE as the perfect research assistant. Contact any one of our professional research and survey analysts, and you’ll quickly receive the specific information you need. Now you can concentrate on your critical responsibilities, while ASE handles the background work. You’ll save time and money on periodical subscriptions, benchmark studies, union contracts, and unnecessary fee-for-service calls by taking advantage of unlimited access to ASE’s extensive resources. With our research services at hand, you can spend less time making the informed decisions that will move your business ahead.
Government Affairs
Organizations, like people, have an important stake in the laws and regulations that affect them. New state and federal laws and regulations can blindside employers, and in some cases wreak havoc on their business. ASE educates and protects members from HR-related legislative threats before they arise. Our government affairs department tracks legislative and regulatory changes and actively works to shape their development. This ongoing information and advocacy is an important benefit of your membership.
24/7 Virtual Library
In an increasingly complex and constantly moving business environment, employers are exposed to diverse legal liabilities. One ill-informed decision by an employer today can cause lasting damage to the organization, its management team and employees. ASE’s virtual library is an expert, user-friendly research system providing you with highly relevant HR research chapters, state and federal law summaries, model documents, and news and trends. All of our local surveys are housed in the library as well. Once you use this complimentary database, you’ll stop hunting across the web for the information you need. The site is continually updated to provide you with absolutely current, accurate information and resources.
Learning and Advancement
ASE offers a range of flexible, targeted and comprehensive courses. As a licensed proprietary school in the state of Michigan, we schedule more than 300 open-registration courses in our Southfield, Saginaw, Cadillac, and Battle Creek locations. Your employees can register for these courses, or ASE trainers can design customized programs to meet your organization’s specific needs on a contract basis. Either way, ASE’s Learning and Advancement courses are among the most respected and career-critical courses available anywhere.
Member Exclusive Roundtables
Peer networking is a valuable source of learning. Recognizing that need, ASE facilitates complimentary roundtable discussions on topics of current interest to the HR and general business practitioner. All sessions are designed for professionals to come together, share best practices, and learn from each other.
Periodicals
You’ll find your monthly everythingpeople™ magazine, and your weekly everythingpeople This Week! electronic newsletter, to be refreshing additions to your usual mail. If there’s something new or interesting you should know, you’ll learn about it here first.
Member Discounts
Your membership will also entitle you to substantial discounts on the cost of ASE’s for-fee programs and services. The world’s most successful companies recognize that everything – profit, productivity, growth, corporate citizenship – everything is a people issue. That’s why Michigan’s most competitive companies are members of ASE: the services, ASE members attract, retain and motivate the finest workforces – which is why they’re the best companies in Michigan.
