🔍 Navigating HR Challenges in California 🔍 As business owners, understanding HR laws in California is crucial for protecting our companies. I recently shared insights on the top five HR issues that can put businesses at risk, from employee misclassification to wage violations. I invite you to read the blog post on South Bay HR's page to equip yourself with knowledge that can help safeguard your organization and foster a positive workplace culture. Let’s stay informed and proactive together! #HR #California #BusinessCompliance #WorkplaceCulture

These changes reflect broader efforts across the U.S. to enhance worker protections and healthcare compliance, similar to what California is doing with its new healthcare worker minimum wage law. With new regulations on minimum wage, sick leave, and safety standards, partnering with Engage PEO can help healthcare employers stay compliant and efficiently manage the complexities of these evolving laws, all while focusing on delivering quality care to their patients. #engagepeo #HR #compliance #insurancebrokerpartner

That’s a wrap! When the HR landscape shifts, true leaders don't just adapt—they elevate the entire ecosystem. 2024 was my masterclass in transformational resilience. 🚀 From implementing comprehensive HR systems at the Mental Wellness Center to teaching hundreds of adult learners at Santa Barbara City College, this year proved that impact isn't about tenure—it's about intention. I earned my SHRM-SCP certificate, but more importantly, I learned that every professional challenge is an opportunity to redesign, not just survive. ✨ My top moments captured the essence of this journey: "OMG, Y'all... 😕 Send HALP! 🙃" https://lnkd.in/gdPr7Nxf Making lasting organizational impact in just 200 days, proving that meaningful change happens at the speed of commitment—not calendar pages. "🌟 Did you know? 🌟" https://lnkd.in/gtfMcA9K Revealing that my true north isn't just a job title, but a mission: to elevate and celebrate others through every professional interaction. "Halloween 2024: Reflecting on 5 Months of Perseverance 🎃" https://lnkd.in/gkpWZbfz Demonstrating that resilience isn't about never falling—it's about how powerfully you rise, again and again. Beyond professional milestones, I discovered that personal growth fuels professional excellence. Losing 20+ pounds wasn't just a physical transformation—it was a metaphor for shedding limitations and embracing potential. 💪 2025? I'm laser-focused on continuing to transform HR from a transactional function to a strategic partnership that genuinely elevates human potential. Whether through Elevate & Celebrate Consulting, teaching, or speaking, my commitment remains unwavering: to create workplaces where people don't just work, but truly thrive. To every professional navigating uncertainty: Your biggest breakthrough might be hiding inside your biggest challenge. Stay curious, stay courageous. 🌟

This is the way. SHRM is an elitist group, then have and the have nots. I will never have those letters. Taking a test and paying them to keep it doesn’t mean anything. What HR professionals need is a national board like the joint commission for hospitals that goes into offices and evaluates them based on criteria set by a governing body made up of scientists, academics, HR pros, and research. There are ways to improve our functionality and we need to open our profession up to real scrutiny. Are we doing what we say we do? Do we really care for employees? Are we in compliance? The rubber must meet the road. Enough of this “be kind” toxic positivity. Shine a light on our shadow and let’s get to work.

Hi LinkedIn World! 👋 I don’t post often, so when I do, I try to make it count! Recently, I was made aware of a must-read book called "Act Your Wage." 📖 (By John Gates) With over 17 years in Human Resources, I am often asked by friends, family, and former co-workers (a few of you on here!!) to review resumes or help negotiate job offers, and this book resonated with me. It’s packed with insights and real-world strategies that will give you a competitive edge in the hiring process and help you land the salary you deserve. 💰 If you’re in the market for a new role or just want to make sure you’re maximizing your value, I highly recommend checking it out (trust me, I am the one on the other end and these strategies will work)! 💼💪 PS – I was reading this at the gym and had multiple people stop and say “well, that looks like a great book to read”.  They were right – it is! #Career #JobSearch #SalaryNegotiation #ActYourWage
