Winning Work Teams Blog

It’s been a busy spring for Winning Work Teams in the classroom….

Just wrapped up teaching this semester’s HR classes offered through the University of Central Florida (UCF) Office of Continuing Education for rising Central Florida HR professionals sitting for the Professional Human Resources and the Senior Human Resources Professional certification exams under the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) professional development program….Tomorrow, head out to Strayer University to discuss current HR issues with graduate students enrolled in the Masters in Human Resources  program. 

As strategic Orlando, Florida,  Human Resources consultants and business advisors we know the value of continuous learning, both for our clients and area HR professionals. It’s a competitive world, and every bit of knowledge helps to create a winning advantage.

A head’s up….

We’ve been seeing more workplace retaliation issues surface recently. Maybe it’s the warmer than usual weather, maybe we’re headed to a full moon….Maybe employers are taking their eye off the ball.  Just remember, workplace retaliation was the leading EEOC charge in 2011. 

As strategic Orlando, Florida, Human Resources consultants and business advisors, we highly recommend dusting off the training manual to review the basics on how to prevent this issue from visiting your workplace. The risks of not doing so are simply too great.

Job descriptions….Are yours in order?

Sounds pretty basic, and dull….

But don’t under estimate the power of well-drafted job descriptions to manage your business and to ward off a heap of trouble—Worker’s Compensation issues, EEOC claims, compensation issues, etc.

As strategic Orlando, Florida, Human Resources consultants and business advisors, we cannot overstate the critical importance of current, ADA-compliant, job descriptions for every position within your organization….We’ve seen what can happen to companies that don’t take this stuff seriously.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” 

I wish I’d said that.
