With Thanksgiving around the corner, we’re all reminded of the importance of being thankful—whether it’s for family, good food, or smart solutions that save money. Fractional HR is one of those solutions for businesses that need HR support but may not require or be able to afford a full-time, in-house HR team. Here's why: 1. Pay for What You Need: With fractional HR, you only pay for the specific services or hours you require, whether it's for recruiting, compliance, training, or other HR functions. This avoids the overhead costs of a full-time salary, benefits, and other expenses tied to a traditional employee. 2. Access to Expertise: Fractional HR professionals bring a wealth of experience and industry knowledge, often at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time HR executive. You gain access to senior-level expertise without the full-time commitment. 3. Scalability: As your business grows or your needs change, fractional HR services can easily scale up or down. This flexibility helps you avoid overpaying for resources you don’t currently need. 4. Reduced Risk: HR errors, such as compliance violations or poor hiring practices, can be costly. Fractional HR experts help mitigate these risks by ensuring processes are handled correctly, potentially saving your business significant money in the long run. 5. Focus on Core Business Goals: By outsourcing HR functions to a fractional team, you and your employees can concentrate on strategic priorities, enhancing overall productivity and efficiency. This Thanksgiving, be thankful for solutions that keep your business running smoothly while saving money. With Fractional HR, you can enjoy expert support tailored to your needs—and still have room to feast on your success. Neil Katz, SPHR, RBLP-T

94% of employees who feel highly appreciated love their workplace, compared to just 18% of those who don’t. But not every recognition program hits the mark. Excluding remote workers, focusing only on revenue producers, or neglecting team efforts can backfire, leading to disengagement and even burnout. So, how can businesses nail employee recognition? Here are some best practices: Mix It Up: Use varied approaches like peer-to-peer shoutouts, team-wide acknowledgments, and leadership-led recognition. Tailor rewards to what motivates your employees—whether it’s public praise, extra time off, or professional development opportunities. Make It Frequent: Don’t wait for annual events. Recognize contributions in real-time to show employees their efforts don’t go unnoticed. Be Inclusive: Ensure all team members, from junior staff to remote workers, feel seen and appreciated. Recognition should foster unity, not competition or exclusion. Employee recognition isn’t just a “nice-to-have” anymore—it’s essential for cultivating a thriving, engaged workforce. When done right, it’s a win for employees and employers. What’s your favorite way to be recognized at work?
