Patti Cuthill, SHRM-SCP

Done with SHRM and want to take some action? I got you, we just launched a petition over at Equitable HR Guild! SHRM's recent actions and long-standing issues, such as high costs, outdated practices, lack of DEI focus, corporate bias, and anti-union stances, have made it clear that SHRM is no longer a reputable authority on HR. Join us in this call to divest from SHRM and support more inclusive and equitable HR practices. By moving beyond SHRM, we can open doors to a broader pool of talented HR professionals and build more diverse and inclusive teams. We envision this petition as a way to bring our collective voices together to advocate for meaningful change. Consider these calls to action: 🔺 Let your SHRM certification lapse. 🔹 Remove SHRM certification requirements from job postings. 🔸 Embrace more diverse qualifications. ◾ Stop sponsoring or attending SHRM events. 🔻 Promote equitable and inclusive HR education. 🔸 Advocate for better representation to lawmakers. 🔹 Commit to embedding DEI in your HR practices. Sign the petition at the link below and help us drive the change we wish to see in our workplaces. Please share as well! Big thank you to Angela R. Howard, Mahal Maningas, and all the folks I've chatted with over the last few days who helped make this possible!

See if you understand this sentence: HRBP told HRD that the ATS to HRIS transfer is impacting FTE calc & PTO accrual for EEs. Ever feel like HR speaks a whole nother language? 🤷‍♂️ ⭐You're not alone!⭐ Even seasoned HR pros get tripped up by the alphabet soup of acronyms! (We're looking at you EEO, FMLA, and all your friends!) 🤯 Trying to understand an HR conversation can feel like deciphering ancient code. 🔣 Between PIPs, KPIs, and LOAs, it's enough to make your head spin. 😵 If you want to TALK like HR here's what I recommend: ⤵ ➡ Ask your friendly HR rep! They're happy to explain things in plain English. ➡ HR Glossary: Many companies have glossaries online or in employee handbooks. ➡ Online Resources: Tons of websites offer explanations of common HR terms. #HR #HumanResources #Acronyms #Communication #HRAdvice

#shrm24 has come to a close and I’m thankful for the lessons learned, connections made, and time spent with passionate people! What I walked away with: “Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no”🫶🏼 Honor your commitments—even if there is something else you would rather be doing (like attend a WNBA game instead)🤓 AI is here and HR must lead this charge or be left behind🔮 Org Design is powerful when done well and communicated thoughtfully🙌🏼 Sound Baths are cool😎 HR wellbeing is critical to ensure a healthy culture—check on your HR friends🤕 Book your hotel early or you may end up in an interesting Airbnb🫣 Vendors who value relationships first and are thoughtful about your time are key to strong partnerships🗝️ I already knew this but watching my team learn and grow was a gift and reminder of the amazing people I get to work with🥰 #leadership #hr #development

For any Talent Leader looking to truly optimize their contingent workforce as part of their overall Talent Strategy.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) provides minimum wage and overtime pay protections to most employees. Employees generally must be classified as “non-exempt” and, therefore, be eligible for such minimum wage and overtime protections unless they meet the criteria to be classified as “exempt” from minimum wage and overtime requirements. Typically, only employees in certain positions who meet certain salary and job duties criteria set forth under the FLSA may qualify for an exemption. Check out our blog to read our HR compliance bulletin on "Best Practices for Reclassifying Employees as Non-exempt." And contact us for support with your company’s evaluation of employees’ exempt status or other wage and hour topics, hr@employco.com. https://ow.ly/PirJ30sCsgH #flsa #fairlaborstandardsact #minimumwage #overtimepay #exemptemployees #nonexemptemployees #hrcompliance #employeeclassification #wageandhour #humanresources #hr

We are thrilled to announce our first top priorities in HR survey this year. Our own Jennifer Currence, MBA, SHRM-SCP, PCC launched this at the #SHRM Talent Conference last month and we have had incredible response since then. 🚀 Why are we doing it? Several reasons. 🔢 1. We are tired of the big consulting firm surveys that do not really represent the "boots in the ground" sentiment we hear from our clients and followers everyday. 2. We are also tired of "if you want the results, join our mailing list B/S". We will freely share the high level results on LinkedIn. Like....really. If you want the full report you can OPTIONALLY provide your contact info. Or not 😎 . 3. Most HR benchmarking surveys take a lot of time to complete. No one has time for that. Ours is 5 min of your time. 4. Lastly but maybe most importantly......we will report on the trends by company size. Most of the "big surveys" capture the Fortune 500 perspective. We want to provide the same opportunity to fast growth SMB's and mid-market companies. Your voice counts too! So...take 5 min...complete the survey and like magic...... We will share with no obligation....or hook on LinkedIn in early Q3. Like...really...

Here's the information you've been waiting for! (Well, if you're in #HR and are interested in 2024's Top 5 Priorities and ideas of how you can succeed.) These priorities were shared by YOU in our 8th annual survey. I presented these at the #SHRM24 conference last month in Chicago. I only had one hour to present ideas for solutions to these priorities, so please share your additional ideas in the comments below!

Honest question: Are people expected to work 100% of forever from the time they finish school through until they have retired? Much of the discussion around career breaks is about 'normalizing' it in the wake of ~1/2 a million #layoffs in tech alone over the last two years. Which is great, I'm all here for not punishing people because of poor budgeting practices and overextended growth by corporations big and small. But that frames the conversation as if it's only okay if it wasn't your choice. What if you decide to be a stay at home parent? What if you decide to pursue another passion that doesn't work out? What if you....just don't want to work right now? Is it not valid to make a decision that says "I'm putting my life before work" and then reenter the workforce on my terms? Seems strange to me.. #worklifebalance #takeabreak #peoplefirst

Be honest: Do you see human resources as “nice to have”? You’d be surprised how many executive leaders do. Without a thriving human resources infrastructure, your business won’t be able to grow, scale, or deliver successfully. If you haven’t already this year, assess your human resources function to determine your strengths and weaknesses. Then, come up with a game plan to prioritize areas that your company needs to work on regarding HR. #HR #Leadership #Growth

The countdown has started! Many leaders working for Centra know the meaning of the words "Compensation Overhaul". It is a roadmap that started in the Fall 2022 and will culminate in pay equity and market adjustments in May 2024. The work is guided by these principles: 1.    Planning. 2.    Clarity through transparency. 3.    Process Consistency. 4.    Fairness. 5.    Purpose. 6.    Pay equity. 7.    Leadership accountability. Thanks to organization-wide support for the work, HR has created a compensation program and capability that will be a game changer for Centra's workforce and culture. Centra has implement standard pay structures and policies, clear criteria for promotion, and standardized documentation of compensation to minimize room for bias. Communicating clearly about pay equity is nearly 13 times as important for employee retention and engagement as talking about “high levels of pay and benefits,” according to a March 14 report from The Josh Bersin Co., a human capital advisory firm. "While most companies know they must increase pay during times of inflation, they do not understand the problems they create when people feel the system is unfair,” Josh Bersin said. Nobody said it was going to be easy. But with a thoughtful and flexible plan, collaboration, communication, and execution, success is around the corner, with Centra Human Resources leading the charge! https://lnkd.in/guDNApzR.

Dear Friends - Time is running out and I need your help!! I've launched this survey for the past 7 years and I compile the results to present at the Annual SHRM conference, which is next month in Chicago. We're closing this survey on May 31 to prepare for the conference. Every voice counts! Please take 5 minutes to complete this survey asking for your thoughts about the critical functions #HR needs to focus on in 2024. Then, share it with your HR and leader friends. Every survey counts! Thanks in advance. :-) (And if you're going to the #SHRM24 conference, come to my session to see the results first!)

Conversational interfaces are increasingly important for all enterprise system and specifically for HR system. If your organization is coming up with a "10 Year Strategy Plan", and it does not involve a conversational HR system, that is the BIGGEST CONTRADICTION you will ever see. Why, because if an organization does not invest in a conversational HR system, the chances of it even existing 10 years down the line are downright abysmal. The data from ClayHR's customer base which launched the Ask HR module (More at https://lnkd.in/d-R7KW3Y) shows us clearly that: 1. Once the employees have tasted the success of a conversational HR system, they simply do not want to go back to a legacy interface where they are able to see the data in boring tabular data format. 2. Employees simply prefer the mechanism where they can talk to the system - whether by typing, or by using voice, but quite literally, "talk to the system". Historically, when we digitized the systems, we came to a tabular interface because the technology of that time (think HTML, XML, JSON, Arrays, Lists etc.) across the board could support just that. However, now that the conversational interface like the ones powered by GenAI are available - that is it. There is no going back. Your employees are not going to go back from a conversational interface.
