I began this beautiful day with the Greater Rochester Chamber’s HR Professional Forum, guest speakers Ed Peet and Karen Shed from CLEARPATH HR SOLUTIONS, discussing Best Practices in Onboarding & Leadership Training. Excellent reminders of the importance of having a strong Onboarding Process and that it really needs to go beyond just paperwork and logistics. It should be a personal, comprehensive and engaging experience. And let’s not forget our seasoned employees or our High Potentials. Let’s stop rewarding them with more work! High Potential’s are crucial to the success of any organization. Developing our high potential employees is the best way to ensure they continue to feel motivated, engaged and committed to the company. “The way your employees feel is the way your customers will feel. And if your employees don’t feel valued, neither will your customers”. – Richard Branson Let’s get it right from the start! Ask your employees what could we do better and be willing to take action.

Time and again Beacon Hill is recognized as a best place to work. I fill out the survey every time. My advice to Staffing Professionals in years 1-4 of their staffing career: Let's talk. You learned this business in years that were Outliers. Beacon Hill has grown through many markets and can shed light on how a steady industry leader with no quarterly or trending priorities stayed the course. If you aren't sure that you want to stay in staffing or retire from your current firm, don't leave before you learn more about the opportunity this industry can afford when you're in the right place. #staffing #sales #recruiting

Effective July 1, 2024, the minimum salary for exempt employees will increase to $844 per week, which is approximately $43,888 annually. This threshold will rise again on January 1, 2025, to $1,128 per week, or roughly $58,656 annually.

Keeping in line with Employee Benefits & Compensation month, the State of Vermont recently passed legislation to enhance pay transparency in job postings. Effective July 1, 2025, all employers with 5 or more employees are now required to list salary ranges in job postings, both internal and external, including promotions. This move, approved by Gov. Scott through H.704, aims to advance pay equity and reduce gender and racial pay gaps. To ensure compliance with the new legislation, here are a few key steps you can take before July 1, 2025: - Assess all job descriptions to incorporate the required disclosures. - Provide training for staff responsible for creating job postings. - Conduct an internal confidential pay equity audit to pinpoint any potential pay variances. For further details and to review the approved legislation, I have attached the document. Stay proactive and aligned with these new requirements to foster a fair and transparent working environment. #EmployeeBenefits #Compensation #PayEquity #VermontLegislation #Compliance
