HR Compliance whitepaper
/—————————————————————
External factors have compelled HR to devote escalating time and
resources to compliance. However, there is now growing
recognition that conventional HR processes and tools can’t keep
pace with demands on the HR infrastructure. This whitepaper

to help meet their Sarbanes-Oxley obligations with less time,
effort and resources.
