Discover how to avoid the 5 most common mistakes California employers make with their Sick/PTO policies. California regulations can be confusing, leading many employers to implement non-compliant policies. Since new regulations took effect in January 2024, it's estimated that only half of California's employers have a compliant Sick/PTO policy. This means there's a high chance that your policy may not be compliant, potentially putting you at risk of fines or lawsuits. Luckily, there are simple adjustments you can make to bring your policies back into compliance. Join our free Sick/PTO Compliance Tips webinar hosted by employment attorney Chris Olmsted.

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 SHRM's recent actions and long-standing issues, such as high costs, outdated practices, lack of DEI focus, corporate bias, and anti-union stances, have made it clear that SHRM is no longer a reputable authority on HR.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!

Workplace harassment goes well beyond sexual harassment. In this helpful article, SHRM lists a number of examples of other harassment types as provided by the EEOC. #harassment #workplace #hr

The correct answer is D - Sibling. The U.S. federal FMLA covers parents, spouses, and children, but not siblings. Knowing these details helps ensure proper HR compliance and support for employees. Thank you for participating! Let’s continue to explore important HR topics together. #HRCompliance #FMLA #HRPractice #DistinctiveHR

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.

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!)
