Talent management is a strategic approach to attracting, developing and retaining skilled employees to meet your organizational goals. It involves practices such as recruitment, onboarding, training, performance management, organizational design, technology management and succession planning. Staying ahead of employment trends, tax changes and technology developments is crucial for optimizing operations, supporting business growth and enhancing the employee experience.

Compensation and benefits
Choosing the right compensation and benefits program to attract and retain talent is complex. Your strategy needs to be competitive, align with your business strategy and comply with changing regulations and tax policies.
We understand the tax, compliance and reporting challenges you face, and we can assist your business in planning and implementing tax-advantageous programs.
Beyond addressing your tax needs, we can coordinate a variety of beneficial services across your company, from auditing employee benefit plans to designing total rewards programs.
Workforce compliance
Workforce compliance is a year round, strategic discipline that covers the legal, tax and regulatory obligations shaping the employer employee relationship across the employee lifecycle.
By integrating compliance into HR, organizations can reduce risk and support sustainable growth and transformation.
Employment tax and compliance
For many organizations, hiring and retaining HR and payroll staff can be challenging. Maintaining compliance, managing employee information efficiently and prioritizing data security further complicate these tasks. Increasingly, companies are outsourcing HR and payroll functions to reclaim time for business growth.
RSM’s HR and payroll managed services leverage experienced professionals to help you boost operational effectiveness, reduce errors, mitigate risks and allow your staff to focus on core business objectives.
Payroll and HR outsourcing
When initiating a business transaction or transition, it is essential to uncover potential risks, assess workforce dynamics and align your human capital strategy for maximum synergy.
Talent is the backbone of any organization. Our HR due diligence is a meticulous process that evaluates everything from organizational structure to talent management. It’s about understanding the human element in transactions, aligning talent strategies with business objectives and foreseeing potential HR challenges and opportunities.
Global employer services
When you have employees working in foreign jurisdictions, your tax responsibilities become increasingly complex. In addition to managing corporate and individual tax risks, you need to maintain compliance in areas such as immigration, payroll, labor laws and social taxes.
We can help you implement a global mobility program that meets your international compliance obligations while supporting your businesses needs and talent strategy.
AI, analytics and automation
AI is reshaping HR. RSM helps middle market leaders harness AI, analytics and automation to streamline operations, enhance decision-making and elevate employee experiences.
