šŸš€I'M LAUNCHING A BOOK ON JUNE 11TH

NAVIGATING THE WORKPLACE FOR CHRISTIANS: Practical Guidance for Living Out Your Faith at Work

After more than 30 years in HR, Iā€™ve seen just about every kind of workplace challenge where doing the right thing isnā€™t always clear. I've learned that most people issues arenā€™t just about policiesā€”theyā€™re about values, character, and integrity.

As an HR leader, Iā€™ve always been committed to creating workplaces that are fair, inclusive, and respectful of all people and beliefs. At the same time, Iā€™ve seen how many people struggle with how to live out their faith at work without feeling like they have to hide it or push it on others.

Thatā€™s why I wrote this book.

Itā€™s not about telling others what to believe. Itā€™s about helping you handle real workplace situations in ways that align with your values while still respecting those around you.

Join me for the Book Launch on 6/11, details in image and comments

Because you donā€™t have to choose between your beliefs and being inclusive. You can do both well.

Most people think HR is policies, paperwork, hiring, and firing.

But great HR should be helping organizations build the structure, leadership, accountability, and culture that drive performance and retention.

If people are truly your greatest asset and strategic advantage, shouldnā€™t there be intentional systems in place to help them succeed?

Too many small and mid-sized businesses underestimate the impact of the right HR strategy on engagement, retention, performance, and growth.

Thatā€™s why Iā€™m on a mission to change the conversation around HR ā€” from administrative function to business advantage.

Watch this short video to see what HR can and should do for an organization. šŸ‘‡

What people THINK HR IS vs. WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS

šŸ¤” What people think HR is:
Hiring, firing, policies, paperwork, and handling complaints.
Basically, reactive support.

šŸ’” What HR actually is:
Getting the right people in the right seats
Designing and supporting a positive employee experience
Creating clarity, consistency, and accountability across the organization.
Developing leaders and employees.
Identifying issues before they turn into turnover, drama, or risk.
Connecting people strategy to business results.

Good HR isn't just support.
It's infrastructure.

And when it's missing...you feel it everywhere.

When HR is done well, things run smoother, leaders lead better, and people stay.

ā‰ļø Can I get an 'amen' from my HR peeps?

5 HR Hot Messes and How to Extinguish Them

This is a whole workshop, but watch this short video for an overview.

šŸ”„ HOT MESS 1 - Poor performance management.
šŸ§ÆFIX - Don't just rely on the annual review that everyone dreads. Ensure that you have a process and trained managers to provide regular feedback and coaching, and accountability.

šŸ”„ HOT MESS 2 - Lack of clear policies.
šŸ§Æ FIX - Create a simple but comprehensive employee handbook that explains your policies for consistency, and so you don't have to recreate the wheel when things come up.

šŸ”„ HOT MESS 3 - Lack of compliance.
šŸ§Æ FIX - Conduct an HR Compliance Audit (reach out if you need help or would like a template to do it yourself)

šŸ”„ HOT MESS 4 - Bad hiring practices.
šŸ§Æ FIX - Create a sound, structured process and train your interviewers to run the process, ask the right questions, overcome biases, and make good decisions.

šŸ”„ HOT MESS 5 - Bad bosses.
šŸ§Æ FIX - Don't just pick the best individual contributor, assess leadership potential, and develop them!

Toby, the newest addition to the InfluenceHR team, just completed his first week of ā€˜work.ā€™

There have been a few problemsā€”humping his coworker, sleeping on the job, and licking the boss.

But I think heā€™s a keeper.

s.šŸ§¼SPRING CLEANšŸ«§
your HR Practices

If your HR feels a little like a ā€œfigure it out as we goā€ situation, youā€™re not alone.

I created a short HR Practices Self-Assessment to help you 'spring clean' your HR practices and spot gaps before they become problems.

BUSINESS IS SIMPLEā€¦ until people get involved.

People can be challenging, but without them, you won't have much of a business.

If youā€™re starting to see:

šŸ”· inconsistency across teams
šŸ”· unclear expectations
šŸ”· turnover
šŸ”· managers not holding people accountable
šŸ”· people issues and drama interfering with leading your organization

Youā€™ve outgrown how youā€™re managing people.

Thatā€™s usually the moment HR becomes a necessityā€”not a ā€œnice to have.ā€

And I mean REAL HR, not just paperwork and payroll or hiring and firing.

If you're interested in assessing where you are and developing a strategy for your people and cultureā€”or a part-time flexible HR pro to get you started, reach out!
