??Urgent reminder for federally regulated employers! The clock is ticking – your annual accessibility progress reports are due June 1st, and if you haven’t started yet, now is *definitely* the time to! This isn’t a task you can keep putting off. (Any procrastinator’s least favourite thing to hear – we know.) Accessibility plans and progress reports require an in-depth consultation process with people with disabilities and / or organizations that represent them, and that takes time. If you haven’t already started this process, you could be at risk of missing the deadline and facing penalties associated with non-compliance. The good news? We’ve got you covered! Our free Accessibility Project Plan walks you through how to develop your compliant accessibility plan – step by step – to meet the June 1st deadline.

Do your employees keep walking away... even with no safety net? That’s not just bad luck. It’s a sign of deeper issues with your retention and hiring strategy. If employees are leaving without a backup plan, it’s a sign that your retention and hiring strategies need some serious attention. Consider the following: ? Are you bringing in the right people from the start? ? Are you creating an environment where they want to stay? ? Are you offering competitive pay, benefits, and growth opportunities? If turnover feels like a revolving door, it’s time to take a hard look at what’s driving people away – and what’s keeping them from sticking around. Need a game plan? Let’s talk.

Without a dedicated HR team, your business could face serious legal risks and people issues that distract from your core operations. Common misconception: HR is just hiring and firing employees.

HR also encompasses compliance, employee relations, and minimizing legal exposure – all while ensuring an employee experience that delights! ? Without the right expertise, mistakes can happen. When you don’t have a dedicated HR team to actively manage potential people issues, you can become legally vulnerable, reactive and distracted from your core business.

With Envol, you’ll have a trusted partner ready to support you – so you can move forward with confidence. ??♀? #OutsourcedHR #HRsolutions #LegalProtection #RiskManagement #EmployeeRelations #ComplianceMatters #BusinessGrowth #HRsupport #StayProtected #WorkplaceCompliance
