Effective July 1st, California Employers are required to have a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan. The plan should include the reporting and documentation process for workplace violence incidents, mandatory training requirements, as well as recording and reporting obligations. Ensuring compliance with these regulations is crucial. I am available to review your plan thoroughly before implementation. If you need assistance with developing a WVPP or training, feel free to reach out. Remember, creating an effective process will demand a substantial time investment. #WorkplaceSafety #Compliance #CaliforniaRegulations #WorkplaceViolencePreventionPlan

This is especially true when it comes to roles within the trade. Do not underestimate the experience and the skill of those that do not have an advanced degree or even a BA.

Earlier this year, I spoke about the importance of taking a vacation and using the benefits you’ve earned. As we approach the end of the year, I want to revisit that message—especially for those in leadership roles. If you lead a team, now is a critical time to assess their vacation plans to ensure they’re using their time and that there are no coverage gaps. People often rush to use up their days in December, which can create operational challenges. By being proactive now, you can help your team balance their personal time with our business needs, creating a smoother, more productive end-of-year period. Encouraging people to plan their time off doesn’t just support our operations; it’s a sign of respect for everyone’s well-being. When team members feel empowered to take the breaks they’ve earned, they’re more likely to return with fresh perspectives, renewed energy, and a positive mindset that benefits everyone. A well-rested team is a resilient team. So, let’s help each other finish the year strong. Make sure to lead by example and consider planning your own time off as well! When we prioritize balance, we create a culture where hard work and self-care coexist, setting everyone up for success as we move into the new year.

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.

Career Advice -- those simple nuggets of wisdom you get from peers, co-workers, bosses, and mentors that enrich your career. Here are some of the gems that have been directed at me as I worked my way into leadership positions. I will cherish these forever and I hope you will find them useful. I still use them as my guide. The list is long but full of wisdom from others before me. Those of you I have worked with throughout my career will recognize many of these. -> Don't check your phone in a meeting (or I'll take your phone away). -> Take all of your vacation (or you won't get your bonus). -> Do not do it unless it adds value. -> God - family - work (in that order - if you are a believer). -> Spend time with your family. Your boss WILL NOT remember what you did 5 years from now but your family will always remember you were not there. -> If you don't love what you are doing or like your work environment, change it. You're in control. -> You will need to make sacrifices if you want to lead people. -> Be vulnerable - open your arena - the Johari Window. -> Feedback is the breakfast of champions. -> Don't spectate in meetings. If you are invited to a meeting, make sure to interject yourself and have something of value to add. -> When someone does a drive by, stop what you are doing, turn around, square up, and engage with them. -> Rise above the negativity and cancer that can find its way into workplace conversation. -> If you find yourself in the victim loop, work your way back into the accountability loop. Success is your own damn fault. -> Confront issues in the present - issues will not go away. -> Embrace learning. -> Elevate and show up well in meetings. -> Don't bring me a problem unless you come with a solution. -> If you can't make a meeting, reschedule it - do not cancel it. -> Listen to your attorneys but remember they are alarmists by nature. -> Never ask a female in a team meeting to take notes (unless it's her job). -> Be more empathetic. -> Get hot (meaning get quicker). But don't sacrifice quality for speed. -> Develop an edge. -> Challenge the status quo. -> Do what's in the best interest of the company and your fellow co-workers (credit to HPWP) and eliminate the negatives. -> Anticipate questions that may arise and answer them in your presentation before they can be asked. -> If you are driving change, recognize and properly memorialize the work others have done before you. -> Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change itself (LNS). -> network outside of work (so you do not become stale). -> Don't waste your time with CYA activity. There's no value in that. -> Assume positive intent. -> Don't judge others until you get all sides of the story. -> Communicate twice as more as you think you should. -> Work beyond your job description. -> Be here now (lesson I learned at 16 years old). -> Stay loose and have fun! Foster that spirit in others.

Inclusivity isn’t just about making sure everyone has a seat at the table; it’s about empowering every individual with a voice that is valued and respected. Fostering a sense of belongingness and ensuring the psychological safety of all employees is crucial to achieve this, and as leaders, the onus is on us to enact meaningful change. In my latest discussion with Women Entrepreneurs Review, I share insights on strategies, initiatives, and behaviors that can truly make a difference in an organization’s DEI efforts.

This is a good list but not exhaustive, many CPOs are also expected to take the lead on culture for the organisation and internal communications. Relying on a strong leadership team is key to delivering on these diverse responsibilities so being a great leader and coach is also paramount

In an effort to address workplace violence, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 553 on September 30, 2023. The deadline for implementation is July 1, 2024, leaving employers with limited time to prepare. This first-of-its-kind legislation requires employers to establish basic safeguards to ensure the safety of their employees while on the job.
