HR Training Over Lunch ONLINE in July

By
I will be co-hosting with the UIS Continuing & Professional Education department a summer HR Workshop Series.  Each week a different topic will be presented covering COVID Workplace topics the first three weeks with the last two weeks focusing on helping employers meet the Workplace Transparency Act compliance training requirement by year-end.  Here is what is in store for the next five weeks for all those who register, grab a lunch, and sit down at their home or office computer.

COVID Training

  • Thursday from Noon-1p.m. 7/9 - Noon -1pm HR2033 Encouraging and Maintaining Remote Employee Engagement – COVID 19 sent over 68% of employees home for at least two months and many of them are still there working day in and day out either permanently or until there is an antidote for the virus.  So in the meantime, what is a manager to do when it comes to keeping those employees motivated, productive, and engaged in the workplace? We will discuss many options that can be incorporated into your workplace that have been successful in others.
  • Thursday from Noon-1p.m. 7/16 HR2031 Managing & Recalling Employees During COVID – It has been a day to day, week to week task to stay up to date with the challenges of COVID-19 in all aspects of organizational management.  Employment issues related to COVID-19 are no exception.  This session will include up-to-date suggestions on topics such safety and health of employees, layoffs and furloughs, time off, and employee documentation requirements.

  • Thursday from Noon-1p.m. 8/6 HR2032 FMLA Do’s & Don’t to include Pre & Post COVID – The Family Medical Leave Act has never been a walk in the park to understand all provisions and amendments but now it’s even more confusing.  In this session we will cover the differences between what you knew about FMLA before COVID and what you should know after COVID (at least through December unless extended) and how it all works! Unofficially Rescheduled from 7/2 so it may not be available for registration yet.

IL Workplace Transparency Act Training

  • Thursday from Noon-1p.m. 7/23 HR2034 & 7/30 HR2035 - Preventing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace (IDHR Compliant for All Employees) – The EEOC has strongly encouraged sexual harassment prevention training for all employers for decades.  However, in most recent years many states had now made it a requirement of all employees.  This training will cover the required training and provide a sign off sheet at the end that the employee can sign and submit to the employer for maintenance as proof of attendance in case the employer is audited by the state human rights agency.

55 Active Job Search Sites (Updated 7/19)

By
I had a company encouraging me to update this list over the last couple of months.  Since they focus on veteran hiring and I am a veteran supporting other veterans I am happy to add the following to this original posting from 2017. Silent Professionals is a free veteran recruitment service. Their differentiating factor is that they focus on a very specific subset of veteran employment which is the combat arms veteran. Their site is much more than just a job board because they actually provide a service behind it which is all free to the veteran. As combat veterans themselves, with a vast amount of experience in the private security sector, they are able to use that experience and influence within the industry to act as trusted advocates for the veteran candidate. They boast an incredible 84% job placement success rate for candidates that they recommend to employers. One of the reasons they're able to do that is because of their focus on jobs for combat veterans who are seek

Honest, Vulnerable, and Transparent Communications Can Be a Curse for Women

By
As we approach yet another end to Women’s History Month where organizations make a sincere concerted effort to raise awareness to the issues women face in the workplace with hope for continued change, I am skeptical. Not because I do not believe in the effort. Not because I have not heard story after story of women who have made history and are honored and respected highly for women’s suffrage progress they have made. Not because I do not believe in change. I do believe strongly in the effort that brings these stories to the public causing change. However, the reason I am skeptical is the same reason so many other women question the possibility of real change. Why, because we have been victims who feel defeated repeatedly and constantly reminded of the loss experienced. When you feel you have taken two steps forward and knocked five steps back every time that original wound opens and reminds us of the curse lived just because we are a woman. I had to be quiet about the real reason I

HR Assessment Risk Summary

By
In summarizing the potential for risk in the human resources and personnel practices of organizations visited over the past few years, the highest risk of audits, investigations, grievances and the resulting potential for penalties, fines and legal concerns come from six primary sources.   The main reason for concerns are because certain federal and state agencies are making it a priority to investigate: Misclassification of employees as exempt, Illinois led the nation in active investigations 3,635 involving 19,765 misclassifications, 245.6 million in unreported taxable wages, 5.1 million in unemployment tax unreported, 270,570 employees impacted. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently announced that 84,254 workplace discrimination charges were filed with the federal agency nationwide during fiscal year (FY) 2017, and secured $398 million for victims in the private sector and state and local government workplaces through voluntary resolutions and litiga
