Workplace Harmony

Last week, we had the honor of attending a luncheon hosted by the Tri-County Chamber of Commerce to celebrate a huge milestone: 5 incredible years in business! Representing Workplace Harmony at this special event were Sophia, Michelle, and Megan, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the recognition and the opportunity to connect with so many inspiring local businesses. The event was filled with meaningful conversations, delicious food (hello, parmesan-crusted chicken ??), and thoughtful insights from a panel discussing key workplace challenges like medical marijuana policies, childcare access, and training resources. Being acknowledged alongside other milestone members was a humbling reminder of how far we’ve come... aaaaand how excited we are for the journey ahead! To all our clients, partners, and supporters: Thank you for helping us build a company that amplifies workplace culture, creates impact, and keeps humans at the heart of everything we do. Here’s to the next 5 years of Workplace Harmony! ??

Lauren just got back from an unforgettable experience at the Women’s Private Capital Summit in New York, and it was nothing short of amazing! ?? The summit brought together over 300 incredible women from across the private markets industry, creating a space for exchanging insights, fostering connections, and sparking deals. From private equity to venture capital, the conversations were dynamic, the opportunities were exciting, and the energy was unmatched. There were so many thoughtful touches that made the event even more special- like a poker night where Lauren discovered her hidden talent for Texas Hold’em (watch out, Vegas!) and a heartwarming initiative to donate professional attire to women in need. What an honor to get to experience and be a part of women supporting women and building a stronger future together. ?? ?

November 15, 2024 a Federal Court in Texas Ruled the DOL Salary Exempt Rule Not Valid Just weeks before implementation of additional increases for exempt employees,?a federal court in Texas ruled that the Department of Justice overstepped its authority with the rule increasing minimum salary for exempt employees…and threw it out entirely. What does this mean? It means the increases implemented on July 1, 2024 are void and the additional increase due January 1, 2025, are no longer required. It also means that the automatic increases that were scheduled every three years are no longer mandated as well. So employers now have a decision to make. If you are so inclined, you could roll back the changes you made in July to comply with this rule and can stop any changes you had planned for January 1, 2025 and forward. However, we urge you to?carefully consider how you approach these changes. Employees should be informed clearly of any changes you will make, why and how it will impact them. Before you act, please consider the employee engagement and morale impact that any decisions you make could have. It's wise to balance the business decision in the context of your workforce and their needs. If you need help to navigate this situation, connect with us and we will guide your plan, communications and implementation. Email me today at?[email protected]?and we can get our advisors to work this week! As the administration changes and election season is over, there is potential to see more shifts of policy like this that will impact businesses and business decision making.

If you have questions, message us or reach out and we'll be happy to talk through your situation and needs.
