With an expanded array of products and services, USource® functions as your complete in-house HR department. In addition to unlimited access to the HR Hotline and the customized employee manual, USource membership includes:
Annual Salary and
Benefits Survey
Salaries, incentives and benefits are surveyed for community banks
located throughout the Midwest (download
sample). Data is conveniently categorized by overall results,
state-by-state, metro vs. non-metro, and bank asset size. Benefits
surveyed include medical insurance, dental insurance, disability,
life insurance, PTO/vacation/sick leave, retirement, board of
director's compensation, and salary policies.
HR Audit
We scrutinize your existing human resource policies to ensure
compliance with current legislation. The audit flags areas of
concern and recommends improvement in recruitment, compensation,
benefits, training, communications, employee relations, performance
management, record keeping and termination policy.
MOAT Online Resource
Center
Studies on best practices, money-saving sample forms, and extensive
community bank job descriptions (download
sample) are all available online at the Resource Center. Topics
include: recruitment, compensation, benefits, performance
management and employment regulations.
Employee
Surveys
Our online, confidential surveys solicit honest feedback from
employees so you can correct problems early and capitalize on
successes quickly (download
sample). Employee surveys are also perfect for strategic
planning, before or after major policy or benefit changes, or as an
annual gauge of bank morale.
Pre-employment
Tests
To avoid the cost and frustration of making the wrong hire, USource
provides validated pre-employment tests at discounted rates to help
you better assess if an applicant will be a good fit for your open
position.

annually on a variety of timely issues. The seminars also
provide a great networking opportunity and are available to
