7. Managing Your Payroll Effectively | Highway to Hell

Running and auditing payroll might be one of the least glamorous - and most stressful - parts of running a business. In this episode, we’re sharing how to prevent making payroll the “Highway to Hell” through strategic tracking, laws and policies, and having the right person running payroll for your organization. Some key takeaways from this episode include: * In small organizations, the business owner is usually the person doing payroll, even though they’re tracking so much data in their heads. The best person to do payroll is someone who knows your HR handbook front and back. * There are laws you have to follow regarding sick time, paid time off, and the like. Whoever is processing payroll needs to know those policies, know which employees qualify for PTO, and track how much PTO employees are taking. * You need a time tracking system for your employees. There are so many online tools that allow employees to track their time that also sync with your payroll software.

6. Working With Insurance Brokers | What Have You Done For Me Lately?

In this episode, we’re demystifying working with an insurance broker to find the right insurance provider for your employees. We cover what to look for in an insurance broker, the benefits of working with one, and red flags to look out for.  Some key takeaways from this episode include: * Your insurance broker should understand your specific business risks, how rich you want your insurance plan and compensation package to be, and even the unique employee demographics to help craft a customized insurance and benefits proposal. * By acting as intermediaries between employers and insurance providers, brokers can negotiate to secure competitive rates and favorable terms, ultimately resulting in improved coverage for employees at more affordable rates.  * Your brokers can offer valuable insights into regulatory compliance and ensure your company's benefits programs adhere to both state and federal regulations, helping you avoid having to pay penalties.

5. Quiet Quitting | Take This Job and Shove It

The term “quiet quitting” has taken the workplace by storm in the years since Covid. It’s when employees disengage from their jobs, often doing the bare minimum, because they don’t feel a sense of purpose in their role or the workplace. In this episode, we’re sharing how to prevent - or bounce back from - a quiet quitting phenomenon in your own office.  Some key takeaways from this episode include: * Your team culture is a huge factor in reducing quiet quitting in the workplace. Look at how you’re engaging with employees, how strong communication is between teams, and how you’re showing gratitude to your team. * During Covid, a lot of people realized they want more work-life balance. Even though your business covers the “work” side, how are you creating opportunities for employees to have flexibility in their jobs that allows them to have a life outside of work. * You might say you have an open-door policy, but as a leader, you need to create opportunities to chat with employees one-on-one. Oftentimes, we don’t find out the employee is unhappy until we’re conducting an exit interview.

4. Generalist vs. SME | I Walk the Line

Many businesses think their HR teams are a one-stop shop for every possible scenario related to recruiting, hiring, and onboarding in the organization. While we have knowledge about all these things, there may be some situations where another specialist is needed to ensure everything is done correctly and legally. In this episode, we share how we’ve been asked to “walk the line” as HR professionals, and when you should bring in another specialist instead. Some key takeaways from this episode include: * Many human resources professionals work as generalists, not specialists. Of course we may be super comfortable with one particular aspect of HR from experience, but some tasks like writing OSHA policies or advising on employment contracts fall outside our responsibilities. * Bringing in a specialist or trained professional for specific aspects of your employment materials or documentation is so important. A reputable HR firm can work with you to figure out who that specialist should be and connect you with contacts who would fit the role. * Even the hiring process for technical roles can warrant bringing in a specialist. We are extremely well-versed in hiring, but for certain roles like “Scrum Master” or “Agile Coach,” we might not understand the skills we’re looking for in a candidate like someone in the field would.
