Picture this scenario. An employee working in an organization needs to take the daily commute to his office. It takes nearly two hours for the onward journey. By the time he reaches his desk, he is already exhausted both mentally and physically. In addition, the organization’s working environment does not seem to support his mental health issues. As he gets caught up in the activities of the day, stress and other mental health issues start to show up.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes.

Why do I ask you, dear readers, to bravely collaborate this holiday season? And every day, for that matter.

Oftentimes when managers discuss pay with their employees, they encounter questions for which they may not have an answer. Employees want to know that they are receiving fair pay for their contributions, so they may wonder how their pay is linked to performance, how it compares to other salaries within the company, and likewise, how it compares to similar positions outside the organization.
