It's the end of the year, so here are 6οΈβ£ areas to take note of if you work in Human Resources!
1οΈβ£ Compliance Completions: Ensure everyone has completed their annual training. If not, it's time to sit the team down and set aside time to get it done.
2οΈβ£ Open Enrollment (if you have a 1/1 date): Employees should be reviewing plan updates for the new year, meeting with any reps they need to, and asking necessary questions about plans they need. Remind them of important dates and to use any benefits they may have left.
3οΈβ£ End-of-year Safety Inspection: These should be completed annually or more often if needed. Clear walkways, get rid of anything that is on its last legs, and ensure everything is up-to-date. No one wants to end the year with a liability suit.
4οΈβ£ Order NEW Labor Law Posters: Always update your labor law posters to be legally compliant with changes to state and federal laws.
5οΈβ£ Performance Reviews: If you do end-of-year reviews, ensure these are all finished before the final weeks of the year. Your team deserves timely feedback, and you deserve an extra check off your list.
6οΈβ£ Office Closure: If you're planning to be closed during the holidays, make sure your staff and clients are aware.
Wishing you very Happy and Safe Holidays! We will see you in 2026 with our beginning-of-the-year HR checklist!
