What a Year!
 
By Kim Silvers, SPHR-CA, SHRM-SCP
 
One of our roles as HR consultants is to ensure our clients have resources and knowledge back-up to stay out of employment court. We do a pretty good job of that and I'm proud of the ethical employers we hand pick as our business partners. (You think we take any Tom, Dick, or Harriet? Think again. If you're a retained client, you've been carefully screened by us. Kind of like who Dad allows his daughter to date.) But sometimes even the well-intended employer gets caught up in unfortunate circumstances. We've had some doozies this past year; I'll spare you the details.
 
It is not my goal to be indispensable and attached at a manager's elbow on every employment decision. We offer lots of training to aid in the day to day journey with employees. But, the feds and the state of California certainly make it a regular "trip to the fountain" to refresh on the new court cases and laws that overlay just about everything an employer does in our great state. As we wrap up 2016, here's a quick stroll through some of the highlights with a promise of (likely) more to come next year.

What is the Difference Between Success and the Status Quo?
 
By Cami McLaren
 
The best way to be successful - really successful - is to plan for your success.  No matter how you define success, you will be vastly more likely to achieve it if you are intentional.  Starting now.  In this article, I will give you some information on how to set yourself up for success in the new year.  Many studies have been done on the nature of success.  Successful people are intentional.  They are purposeful.  They have a clear direction and clear goals.  And they move in alignment with that vision.

As you will see below, there are measures of success that can be created without a clear plan, but they are far lower levels of success.  So jump start your year and make a plan!  Don't wait for the perfect time.  Now is that time.
