With the theme of "Blaze a Trail," FORUM 2014 will gather Equifax Workforce Solutions clients, as well as analysts and industry influencers, for discussions on how the company's unrivaled human capital intelligence, proven compliance expertise and world-class data analytics can measurably impact their bottom line.

Overall, participants will gain access to best practices and thought leadership that will enable them to pioneer strategies that can lead to greater operational efficiencies and ensure ongoing success.
Through an expansive agenda, FORUM 2014 provides in-depth insight into what HR professionals need to know to saddle up and address the most critical issues facing them today. Featured sessions include, "You Live Where? I-9 Compliance for a Remote Employee Population," "Setting SMART Targets with Benchmarks," and the popular "Know Before You Go – Mock Unemployment Hearing" session. In addition, as the provider of the award-winning Affordable Care Act (ACA) Management Platform, Equifax Workforce Solutions will offer several courses designed to help clients develop effective strategies for addressing changes brought about by the implementation of the new law. The event will also give attendees the opportunity to network with their peers, industry experts and Equifax product teams and executives, ensuring they gain access to the most useful advice.
Attendees of FORUM in previous years have been very pleased with the high-level insight and networking opportunities the event provides. Previous attendee Lisa Harris, controller of Accounting Operations at staffing company TrueBlue, commented, "The client FORUM has been extremely informative. I get to meet my colleagues from other staffing companies, so we can talk about things unique to our industry. I also have updates about what's going on with legislation that I'll be able to take back and share with my management team so they can be aware of what's going on in the unemployment world." Harris continued, "This is time very well spent. I'm very busy right now, but it was worth every second."
"With many organizations at a crossroads in managing key HR processes and dealing with shrinking budgets and rapidly changing legislation, FORUM 2014 is designed to show how the right solutions can help our clients find the best path forward," said Dann Adams, president of Equifax Workforce Solutions. "Each year, our team looks forward to gathering with our clients to personally hear their success stories and learn how we can help them further. I encourage everyone to mark their calendars for this truly unique event."
