(NASDAQ:ASUR) (\"Asure\" or \"the Company\"), a provider of cloud-based Human Capital Management (HCM) software solutions and services, recently released its inaugural Small Business Human Resource Benchmark Report, which surveyed 2,065 \"fast growth\" companies to determine the link between rapid growth and employee-centric best practices.\"Our mission is to help our customers grow, so we wanted to explore the genuine connection between HR and revenue growth for a small business,\" said Pat Goepel, Chairman and CEO for Asure. \"This survey exposes the significant role HR can play in driving or hindering growth, spotlighting the need for small businesses to engage in HR best practices.
