BBB Accreditation is another way for HR Success Partners to demonstrate that commitment to trust, integrity, and accountability.

We’re grateful to the clients, colleagues, and business owners who continue to trust us with their people and their businesses.

Gallup has found that managers account for at least 70% of the variance in team engagement.
I've seen that play out in almost every organization I've worked with. Two teams can have the same pay, the same benefits, and the same leadership above them, and the one with the stronger manager will look like a different company.

For HR business partners, that changes where the time should go. When you help a manager prepare for a hard conversation, set clearer expectations, or handle a performance issue early, the effect reaches every person on that team. It also tends to keep small issues from growing into employee relations problems later.

If you're an HRBP, how much of your week goes to coaching managers? I'm curious what gets in the way.

If you have employees who work overtime or earn tips, this one's worth five minutes.

Starting with 2026 W-2s, employers have to report qualified overtime and tips separately. Last year was a grace period, so many small businesses didn't set up the tracking, and the clock is now running.

The catch most people miss: it's only the premium portion of overtime, not the whole overtime paycheck. If your employee makes $20 an hour and gets $30 for overtime, you're reporting the $10, not the $30. Most payroll systems aren't keeping that as its own number.

One more thing worth knowing before January. Nobody's take-home pay is going up. Withholding and F**A don't change. Plenty of employees heard "no tax on overtime" and are expecting a bigger check, and your supervisors are the ones who'll hear about it when it doesn't show up.

Too often, companies focus on what they’re hiring for...
