Another BIG year for employer benefit plan updates! But that being said with some expert guidance from masters in the space, like my friend Jeremy Higgins CEBS, GBA, CMS, GBDS at Higgins Agency Group, Inc., the steep premium hikes and other challenges can be easily navigated and completely mitigated.

I've sent many clients Jeremy's way, and the work he does with them is never short of impressive. Check out this latest episode of Unfiltered HR as you had into your renewal this year (it's right around the corner), to also benefit from his updates, tips, and reminders on what you need to do as a small business to not only be compliant, but competitive when it comes to your menu of offerings!

Haaaave ya heard? April 2024 was a banner month in the employer world- and not in a good way.

Employers nationally, and especially in NYS, now must plan to implement significant changes in order to comply with the new laws- many of which go into effect this summer.

Thanks to recent updated rulings, if union organizing efforts enter your business these days, there is very little you can do, in very little time, to respond in any attempt to avoid recognition.

Heather Giambra and I break down these significant changes, which ALL employers need to know- regardless of current union status. We cover measures employers can and should take now to prevent organizing efforts to begin with, as well as prepare the business to best deal with these measures should they find their way in.

I've done a LOT of separations over the years. And like most things that involve humans, the behaviors of both leaders and the employees being separated are very consistent each time- regardless of experience, industry, or competency.

No matter the context, we are all humans operating with all of our human baggage, and that includes even inside business settings where even the tangibles of widgets and KPIs can't escape the realities of our emotions.

As you move through these difficult situations in the future, I hope this guide provides you with a sense of comfort and confidence, knowing it's never an easy "simply business" decision and transaction to let someone go. You're not weak, you're human. And you're not a monster, it is just business, and a healthy part of it at that.

Some Final Tips:
>Don't make this process more difficult on yourself or the individual by allowing yourself to play an inappropriate part in the employee's journey toward acceptance.
>Keep the separation conversation short.
>Be empathetic, but not sympathetic or apologetic if things get emotional. >Set appropriate boundaries in preparation for potential communication afterward. Give yourself and the employee space to process and move through the stages, with support from other, more appropriate, members of their life afterward, even if they reach out to you (or others on staff) during this period with questions, requests, etc.
>Do not be lured to engage in texting with the employee afterward! There are many reasons this is not an appropriate or wise role for you or anyone at the business to play once the separation has occurred.

This is IT. The quality of your leaders determines the quality of your outcomes. And the quality of the efforts YOU put into your leadership (selecting, developing, engaging, rewarding, empowering) is the sole factor in determining the value of this cohort in your business.

This is why when I work with clients, it's not just about identifying and creating compliant and improved policies, procedures, and systems- the real value comes in the implementation. Integrating the enhanced knowledge and tools into regular habits and behaviors of the people in the business. And adoption by the leadership portion of this population is the most critical when it comes to determining the efficacy of all this this work.

I wrote about why Managers are your MVPs over two years ago, and it's even more true now. https://www.allyhrpartners.com/resources/the-forgotten-managers-the-real-mvps-of-your-business

What should your stance be as a business when it comes to participating in social or political discussions? Including how much you tolerate, encourage, or provide space for employees to engage on these issues at or through work?

Whatever. YOU. Want. It. To. Be.

Now read that back 100 more times.

The magic and uniqueness of what we do at Ally HR Partners, LLC is in how we empower our clients. In part this comes from arming you with knowledge about what you can and should do, to not only comply with employment laws, but thrive despite them. But more significantly, the value comes from being a credible, affirming, and even refreshing voice, reminding you that your business is your business, and you should not be shy from running it the way you need AND want. This means it's not going to be a place everyone and anyone wants to work- but of course! Because it's not a place you would (and should) want just anyone to work. Just those who align with what you are trying to accomplish and how you want to accomplish it. And you should not be afraid to define, create, and enforce standards around this. Including when it comes to the topic of social and political conversation engagement.

Brian Armstrong at Coinbase decided to set clear boundaries for his business back in 2020, a time when many social and political issues were burning brightly through the zeitgeist. Although controversial, it set a clear tone for his business, but led to constructive turnover that allowed the business to move forward in a more focused and efficient way- something you're certainly entitled to expect as a business. He even invited employees who were not aligned with the newly clarified values to have conversations about moving on. A seemingly audacious idea, but one that makes complete sense, despite what we've started to believe in the past few years. Like any relationship- why would either party stay in an employment situation where wants and needs don't match up?
