Did you know November is National Gratitude Month? Yep, an entire month dedicated to saying, “Thanks for being awesome!” (Cue the confetti ??). But here’s the thing—gratitude isn’t just a feel-good Hallmark moment. In the workplace, it’s like rocket fuel for your culture. A simple “thank you” or “You crushed it on that project!” can spark smiles, build trust, and make people genuinely enjoy coming to work. (What a concept, right?) Gratitude doesn’t have to be fancy. Try this: ? Write a quick note to your team. ? Give a shoutout during your next meeting. ? Surprise someone with their favorite snack. (Because snacks = love.) The tiniest “thank you” can create a ripple effect of positivity. So, post some gratitude below and tag the person you're thankful for. #NationalGratitudeMonth #WorkplaceGratitude #bethechangeHR #HR #HumanResources #HRConsulting

?? Curious if you really need an employee handbook? Well, technically, yes...but there’s a catch! Not all of the handbook is legally required but parts of it, like the harassment policy, are. While it’s still in part a legal must-have, it is also a powerhouse tool. Why? Because it covers everything employees need to know—and what you need them to know! From your core values to overtime calculations, benefits, and, yes, legally required policies like harassment prevention. At be the change HR, we craft handbooks from scratch to fit federal and state laws, and we roll them out in a live Zoom session with your team—making the process smooth and, dare we say, fun! Ready to get a clear picture? Let us be your guide. ?? Catch the full video for all the details! ??? #Businessowners #smallbusiness #bethechangeHR #HR #HumanResources #HRConsulting

If employee reclassifications are ahead from exempt salary to nonexempt hourly (see our last post on a step by step audit for this), here’s how to keep your team informed and engaged: 1?? Be Clear & Direct. Changes can stir uncertainty, so let your team know what’s shifting and why. Honesty is your greatest asset here! 2?? Clarify Pay & Benefits. Talk openly about any impacts on pay or benefits, and offer a space for questions. Show employees their value is recognized every step of the way. 3?? Stay Ahead with an FLSA Audit. By proactively auditing, you’re minimizing risks and demonstrating a strong commitment to fair practices. It’s a powerful way to show your brand as both compliant and caring. -- Again, see our last post on how to do this. ;-) How are you preparing for these changes? Share your strategies in the comments to keep our workplaces compliant, transparent, and supportive! ?? #FLSACompliance #FairPay #2025Audit #bethechangeHR #HR #HumanResources #HRConsulting
