ST. LOUIS, June 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

DETAILS:
The unemployment claims process can be incredibly complicated and the consequences of non-compliance have become increasingly severe in recent years. To overcome this obstacle, keep costs to a minimum and ensure compliance requirements are met; employers need to better understand claims administration in order to simplify the process. With the support of advanced technologies and workforce analytics, organizations can improve unemployment claims response and positively impact the bottom line.

During the SHRM 2015 Annual Conference & Exposition, Bob Austin, vice president, UC Operations for Equifax Workforce Solutions, will join Kevin Minchey, labor and employment attorney at Southwest Airlines to discuss how Southwest uses data and technology to manage unemployment claims response. Austin and Minchey will explore how the airline learned to analyze prior state determinations, detect sources of non-compliance in accordance with recent UI Integrity legislation and identify unemployment cost saving opportunities through predictive claims response and enhanced tax strategies. In addition, this presentation will help attendees understand how to leverage industry data and advanced technology, utilize industry benchmarking and recognize various strategies for mitigating risk. Session attendees will come away with actionable insights for reducing unemployment costs through the next generation of intelligent claims response at their organization.
