Going to the APA Congress? Visit the Ascentis booth and register to win an Apple iPad and other great prizes.

Ascentis will be attending the APA Congress as an exhibitor in 2010. This will be our first year at the Congress, and we’re excited to be a part of a great organization that has been working with payroll professionals for more than 28 years.

To celebrate our first exhibition with the APA, Ascentis will be holding drawings for Apple iPads (two will be given away at the show), as well as Ghirardelli Chocolate, Bare Escentuals gift cards and some great wine selections (all these gifts are products made by some of our most prestigious customers).

Ascentis Workshops – Learning From Your Peers

“The best way to learn is to get in there and do it.” We’ve all heard that bit of advice at one time or another. The problem with that theory is it may take you awhile to figure it out on your own. In today’s world, time is valuable and the ‘trial and error’ method may be costly. Not to mention there are things you just don’t pick up on your own, or even worse, assume incorrectly.

Participation in a workshop is an excellent, inexpensive way to receive technical content, education and to meet with your peers. Whether you are a veteran who simply wants to supplement your knowledge or are a novice in a ‘sink or swim’ situation, research demonstrates that collaboration in small groups can facilitate learning and development.

What is a workshop?

Workshops are meetings where participants are involved in group discussions and are normally organized around one or more theme areas. Workshops allow participants with differing values and priorities to build a common understanding of the problems and opportunities confronting them.

The real value of workshop attendance:

• You can escape your workplace and your constant interruptions
• You learn the facts – no more wondering, “Is this right?”
• You hear how others do it and learn from their experiences
• You can provide input on future product enhancements

The Professional Services group at Ascentis works with clientele to deliver information to assist in the use and implementation of the entire line of Ascentis products. Twice a year the team provides a workshop venue across the country, usually coinciding with other HR and payroll industry related conferences.

The workshop leaders guide attendees through an agenda packed with useful tips and tricks. In addition to the group discussions and workbooks, a total “hands-on” experience is provided. The group is promised a 3-day breakout during which they can absorb, perform, interact and reflect. Sounds like the perfect combination of learning styles! The next Ascentis HR 3-Day Workshop will he held in San Diego, June 23-25, right before the SHRM Conference and Exposition. To find out more about the workshop, click here.
