The Folks Who Help You AAIM Higher

There are people who work at AAIM, and then there are people who are simply part of the fabric of AAIM.

After 34 years, Liz Redohl is absolutely one of those people.

If you've participated in one of our benchmark surveys, needed compensation data, or had a question about what the numbers are telling you, chances are you've connected with Liz. And if you have, you already know the warmth, patience, and huge smile she brings right along with the answer.

As our Survey Coordinator, Liz has spent more than three decades helping members find the data they need—and building relationships that have followed people from one organization to the next.

✨ How I First Connected with AAIM

I've known AAIM for a long time because my father-in-law was the President for many years.

I started back in the days of paper filing and physical surveys! While I'm still heavily involved with the survey department, I've also loved branching out to work with the Solutions Team.

✨ How Members Usually Connect With Me

Members usually email me when they have questions about our surveys or compensation data.

Whether they're looking for a specific piece of information or trying to understand the data, I'm here to help them find what they need.

✨ One Thing I've Learned Working With Members

I've learned how important it is to truly listen so I understand exactly what someone needs and can give them the most accurate answer.

And I'm never afraid to reach out to a colleague when I need help. I think that's helped me build trust with our members—they know I'm committed to finding the right answer for them.

✨ What I Enjoy Most About Serving AAIM Members

Throughout my 34 years with AAIM, it's been a true joy to build relationships with so many members—whether they've stayed with one company or moved into new roles.

I love being a resource for them and providing the data and support that can make a big project feel a little lighter.

✨ A Few Community Favorites

• Favorite local restaurant: Katie's Pizza
• Favorite local spots: The Muny and the Fox Theatre
• Favorite local tradition: Opening Day at Busch Stadium
• Favorite lunch spot: Shake Shack

✨ Something You Might Not Know About Me

My first job was at my parents' Best Western Motel in Sioux City, Iowa, where I stripped beds and collected glasses for cleaning.

And before St. Louis became home, I lived in Phoenix, Arizona.

34 years of surveys, data, relationships, answers, and a whole lot of members helped along the way.

If Liz has helped you over the years—or you've simply had the pleasure of getting to know her—we'd love for you to help us celebrate her in the comments.

We're awfully lucky she's one of the folks who helps you AAIM higher.

Welcome to the AAIM community, Forward Slash Technology.

Growth is exciting. Growing well takes intention.

That’s what we appreciate about the way President Monte Hickey, HR Manager Annie Warmbrodt, and the Forward Slash Technology team are approaching what’s ahead. As their organization grows and they continue bringing great people onto the team, they’re also investing in the employees already there — with development, strong HR practices, and the kind of foundation that can grow right alongside the business.

That says a lot about the kind of company they’re continuing to build.

Mark Heady is proud to support Annie, Monte, and the team as they keep moving forward.

And Aimsley? She recognizes good people when she meets them. Annie appears to have passed the test. 😉

We’re excited to have Forward Slash Technology in the AAIM community.

AAIM has never built an HR summit quite like this—and we are more than a little excited about it!

On October 15, Betsy Grzybinski, Nikki L. Garry, Steve Hughes and Lauren Patel are coming together for HR NEXT Summit: two fast-moving hours built around the person behind the work.

Together, they’ll help you:
🔹 Stay steady and keep moving through change
🔹 Connect your work to outcomes leaders care about
🔹 Get heard where the decisions are made
🔹 Use AI to create room for bigger, better work

These are the capabilities that move you forward—and help move the profession forward with you.

Every session ends with one practical move you can put to work right away. Add live polls, open chat and plenty of opportunities to jump into the conversation, and this is one HR afternoon you’ll want to be part of. Oh - and with Phil Brandt hosting, you'll regret not being there.

HR NEXT Virtual Summit

Thursday, October 15
1:00–3:00 PM CT
Live and virtual
Early-bird pricing is available through October 1.

What’s NEXT starts with you.

We’re paws-itively sure our crew is having a blast at the HR Florida Conference.

Between great conversations, bingo victories, and one very important puppy break, Day 1 treated them well.

Congratulations to yesterday's bingo winners and best of luck to today's players!

Side hustles aren't new. What's new is that an employee can start one on their phone during lunch.

Phil Brandt sat down with employment attorney Burt Garland to work through the questions employers keep calling us about. Can we prohibit outside work? What if they're using the company van? What happens when it starts showing up in attendance?

Catch up on This Week at Work - watch, listen, or read the highlights.

It’s our 44th year of Employment Law Update—but it may be your first. So, let us answer a few of the questions we hear most.

How should I attend—in person or virtually?
If Illinois is your focus and you want to be in the room with the attorneys and other employers, join us in Peoria on September 16.
If you cover multiple states, want access to every session recording, or just prefer to attend from your desk, join us virtually on September 15.

Is it recorded?
Yes! Virtual registrants get recordings of every session through December 16.

Can I attend whichever state sessions apply to me?
Yep. Virtual registration includes the federal update plus Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, and Florida. Join the sessions you need live and catch the others afterward.

Can I ask questions live?
Absolutely. Every session includes live Q&A with the presenting attorneys—so bring the question that’s been sitting on your desk.

No matter how you'll join us, make sure to get your seat before they're gone! https://aaimea.org/employment-law-update/

What if your Friday afternoon looked less like “one more thing before I log off” and more like this?

On select Friday afternoons, leaders will be gathering in St. Louis for practical sessions on motivating people, developing employees, leading change, delegating well, and making conflict productive.

Good conversation, useful takeaways, and did we mention snacks?

Take a few hours away from the inbox and spend it with people working through the same leadership journey you are.

Come join us!

📍 AAIM St. Louis
🗓️ Select Fridays, August 21–September 18
🕐 1:00–4:30 PM

What if the camera system you installed to prevent forklift accidents later became part of deciding who stays during a reduction in force?

It started as a safety tool. It worked. It also collected clean data on who was where, what they were doing, and for how long.

Then someone realized that data could be useful for another decision.
No one deliberately approved the shift. There was no meeting where leadership decided to turn a safety system into an employment decision tool. It happened one reasonable step at a time.

That’s where companies can get caught with AI: when a tool quietly moves beyond its original purpose and no one owns the decision.

In the latest This Week at Work, Phil Brandt and employment attorney Burt Garland talk through how AI is entering workplaces through cameras, monitoring systems, scheduling tools, and other technology that may never be labeled “HR tech”—but can absolutely affect people decisions.

Welcome to the AAIM community, Logan University.

For more than 90 years, Logan has been preparing people to make a difference in health and wellness — and that impact reaches well beyond their Chesterfield campus.

Their mission is rooted in developing health care professionals committed to whole-health and service, with values like empathy, student success, integrity, and teamwork guiding the way. It’s an investment in people who will go on to care for, lead, and serve communities of their own.

And an organization this focused on developing people? That feels right at home in the AAIM community.

Susan Glascock is excited to support the Logan team, and Aimsley has apparently already taken it upon herself to conduct the official campus welcome. (She takes these duties very seriously.)

We’re glad you’re here, Logan University.

“You’ll learn just as much from the collaboration as you will from the content.”

We say it in our classes all the time, and Principles of Leadership session going on right now shows a perfect example.

Get leaders from different companies and industries around a table, and the conversation gets good quickly: comparing approaches, swapping ideas and confirming that, yes, everyone has that workplace challenge.

It’s worth stepping away from the laptop, desk or floor for a while. The content is valuable. Getting to talk it through with people who understand the work makes it even better.
