Evil HR Lady

JANUARY 21, 2017

Just because I’ve done two Swiss Saturdays in a row don’t take that as a promise that I’ll continue. This week I met with my son (grade 3) and his teachers for a parent-teacher-student conference. As a side note, I hate bringing my kids to these meetings (the international school does it this way as well) because I want to be able to hear about any real struggles he might be having rather than trying to remain positive about everything.

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. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

Once you’ve developed an effective Total Rewards (TR) Communication system, the goal is to keep employees coming back frequently. Associates want and expect to see fresh, relevant content. Without it, the TR Communication becomes boring and ignored. Just as promoting the TR Communication is critical when it is first introduced; keeping your audience’s interest and enthusiasm requires thought and planning.
