Before, we used a separate company that produced Total Rewards Statements and we had to take all of the information out of CIPHR, put it into a spreadsheet and then update it as things changed — which was constant. That wasn’t working. So, at the end of 2014 we were introduced to CIPHR Total Rewards Statements. It is so easy because it is a live system that is constantly updated, so the information held is always fresh. A CIPHR consultant came in and set it up for us so that staff will instantly see their total package each time they log into the HR Net system. Now they can see the holiday, physical fitness, childcare vouchers and other benefits that make them realise this is a great place to work. With the charts and graphs we use it looks great too.

PageUp helped us improve our communications with candidates during the hiring process, and also facilitated the global alignment of our recruiting processes.

We believe this was necessary because we discovered that many of our small to midsize companies did not have a comprehensive one-stop solution for dealing with hirings and filling job shortages. It also dealt with the issue of providing a tool for our member companies to reach out across the United States and around the world to fill critical job skills shortages. It provides us with a very uniquely focused comprehensive toolset that addresses the automotive industry specifically, not getting lost in some of the larger multipurpose job boards. It also shows the APMA is being responsive to the issue of skills shortages.
