Pre-Order Your 2020 Labor Law Posters
|
|
If you have at least one employee, compliance with labor law posting requirements is vital.
Many regulations have been updated or introduced for California in 2020. As soon as the new posters are available your 2019 posters will be considered outdated and you will no longer be in compliance.
This year PIASC is able to save our members even more money by offering the California State and Federal posters for just $18.50 for both
(versus $24.50)
. All other posters have also gone down in price.
The 2020 updated posters will include the following important revisions:
- California Minimum Wage Notice
- Discrimination Notice
Depending on their operations, some companies may also be required to display additional notices, such as forklift safety, fire extinguisher use, safe lifting and blood borne pathogens.
Avoid fines and penalties by pre-ordering your posters.
Posters will be printed and shipped once the state approves all updates. Contact Gloria at 323.728.9500 or
Gloria@pisac.org
to receive the order form.

Leadership that Achieves the 20/20 Vision
|
|
Vision, mission, purpose and leadership are words we constantly hear in business today. Vision is the plan for what the future of our organizations will look like, while mission refers to our daily activities to achieve these long-term goals.
Our purpose is why our companies ultimately do what they do. For our companies to be successful, it’s important
to understand what a vision is, and how strong leadership helps us accomplish it.
Vision is how we think about or desire the future to look. A clear and concise (20/20) vision allows all internal and external organizational stakeholders to know where our company is trying to go.

YouTube Trends: What Marketers Need to Know
|
|
YouTube is sometimes not even part of the social media conversation; it’s just known as a video platform. But it is a social network. It’s also the number-one video platform, second–most-visited website, and second-largest search engine in the world.
Marketers should consider it simply because their target audience is definitely there. YouTube has over 2 billion monthly active users and their consumption is going up all the time on mobile, desktop, and even smart TVs. People are viewing content for longer, which is YouTube’s goal: to increase time on the platform so they can sell advertising to build business.
