Employees appreciate recognition of their hard work over the year, and year-end holiday parties are always a fun way to celebrate accomplishments and success. But before you start planning your next celebration, consider the potential liabilities that could accompany your outing. Overindulgence could cause an accident either at or after your party, and comments made at the party could violate your harassment policy.

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.
