What's on Our Desk Currently

An early spring is upon us this year (according to that famous groundhog), along with everyone's favorite spring event – tax season. ??

Just kidding! However, you shouldn't let tax season and updated regulations scare you back into your den for six more weeks, because there are some big updates this year that you need to know about – especially when it comes to employee classification.

No need to scurry all over the internet for answers though, because we cover everything you need to know about the new rule in our blog post – HR's Guide to the DOL's 2024 Independent Contractor Rule.

HR Gratitude Journal

With how busy our work lives are, it can be easy to forget to step back and reflect on how we impact those around us.

?Starting a gratitude journal and setting aside 10-15 minutes per day to reflect on the positives can be a big step in improving our well-being.

Need help getting started? Here are some prompt ideas that you can use in your own gratitude journal: ??

• Who did I help at work today, and how did I make a difference in their day?
• What recent challenge did I overcome, and what did I learn from it?
• What aspect of my role am I grateful for, and how does it bring me purpose?

Happy journaling!?
