As the holiday season begins this is the perfect time to do a little HR housekeeping before the start of the new year. Remember, organization is the foundation to everything and your future-HR self will thank you.
- Generate a 2020 calendar: Create and distribute a 2020 calendar to your colleagues that includes company holidays, events, and vacation. This calendar may evolve as the new year unfolds, but you’re already ahead of the curve.
- Acknowledge company highlights: Celebrate any achievements that occurred during the year, whether it’s at a company meeting, holiday party, or in a company newsletter. It’s important to keep company morale positive and acknowledge everyone’s hard work.
- Prepare for policy changes: As we ring in each new year, new laws go into effect. Brush up on regualations to come and get your companies in order so you continue to be compliant.
- Schedule compliance trainings: As new laws go into effect, be sure the company is on the same page and all employees are well-versed and trained. Avoid any compliance violations in the new year.
- Audit files: Organizing employee files and auditing them for HR compliance should be done at least once a year. Purging files is also necessary after a certain amount time, so be sure to review or create a file retention guideline.
