Workplace Investigations: What’s Changed & What Hasn’t New executive orders are reshaping policies on affirmative action and DEI, leaving many employers reassessing their internal processes. ◾ What’s Changed?

Ever send an employee to training, only for them to come back and get buried in emails and deadlines, forgetting everything they just learned? It happens all the time. So how do you make training actually stick? Here are some tips: ✔️ Talk about learning goals before the class so employees know what to focus on. ✔️ Encourage learning journals to track takeaways and next steps. ✔️ Make time to debrief right after training so ideas don’t get lost in the shuffle. ✔️ Keep the conversation going with coaching, feedback, and real-world application. Training is an investment, but the real ROI comes when employees apply what they’ve learned. Our training helps employees gain skills they can put to use immediately, making a lasting impact on their work. 🔗 Read more on how to make training stick: https://bit.ly/41C9eIO Need help reinforcing training and bridging skill gaps?

📢 Employee benefits only work if employees use them! 📢 You put time and money into building a solid benefits package, but how much of it is going unnoticed? If employees don’t fully understand what’s available or how to access it, those benefits aren’t doing what they’re meant to do—help you attract and retain top talent. A quick reality check: 📌 Employees who feel informed about their benefits are 1.5x more likely to be engaged and loyal. 📌 Without clear communication, benefits can feel more like a mystery than a perk. So how do you fix that? A few key moves can have a big impact: ➡️ Talk about benefits early and often—during onboarding and throughout the year. ➡️ Make access easy with benefits portals, reminders, and interactive tools. ➡️ Tap into employee ambassadors who can spread the word and answer questions. A little clarity goes a long way. We’ve outlined simple ways to help employees understand and take advantage of their benefits. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://bit.ly/4k6O2lz What’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced in getting employees to use their benefits?

A great hire without a clear development plan? That’s a fast track to lost potential. Without the right support, even top talent can feel discouraged. But when employees have structured development, they gain confidence, stay engaged, and contribute more effectively. Not sure where to start?

Here’s how to make sure new hires thrive from day one: ✔ Assess strengths and gaps to identify where support is needed. ✔ Set clear goals using SMARTER principles—specific, measurable, and achievable. ✔ Mix it up with hands-on experience, coaching, and formal training. ✔ Check in regularly and adjust the plan to keep growth on track.
