Thank you to those who read the HR trends series I published last month. I’ve received great feedback. Please continue to follow this blog as I will be publishing valuable information that will help you create a great working relationship with your employees. I believe when you have a positive work atmosphere, morale stays high and employees are more productive.

With this in mind, March’s theme will be about keeping your business healthy. I want to help business owners avoid potential pitfalls that lead to lawsuits by your employees.  Here is a sneak peek of what’s in store. Next week, I will address how to deal with performance issues. My post will be filled with simple ways you as a manager can document performance feedback.

On March 15th, I will cover the topic of meal and rest breaks and how to implement them correctly in your business. The third week of March, I will give you information on how to classify employees correctly (exempt vs. non-exempt employees).

For the last week of March, I will discuss the importance of having good policies and procedures in place; your best form of protection for your business.

If there is a Human Resources question you want me to cover, please send an email to connecttohr@yahoo.com. More to come next week!
