Daily HR Tip #11: Understand the Basics of FMLA The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave within a 12-month period for specific family and medical reasons. These reasons include the birth or adoption of a child, caring for a spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition, or the employee's own serious health condition. It's crucial that HR professionals understand these provisions and communicate them clearly to ensure compliance and support employees during these critical times. #HRTips #FMLA #EmployeeRights

Daily HR Tip #14: Handle FMLA Requests with Sensitivity FMLA requests often arise from deeply personal and challenging situations, such as a serious health condition or family emergencies. When handling these requests, it’s essential to maintain confidentiality and approach the situation with empathy. Train your HR team and managers to listen carefully and provide the necessary support without prying into details. Be sure to communicate clearly about the process, timelines, and what employees can expect during and after their leave. Supporting employees through these times can enhance their trust in the organization and improve overall morale. #HRTips #FMLA #EmployeeSupport

Daily HR Tip #12: Communicate FMLA Rights Clearly Effective communication about FMLA rights is essential for both compliance and employee well-being. Employers should provide clear, accessible information on FMLA in multiple formats, such as employee handbooks, company intranet, and during onboarding sessions. It’s also beneficial to offer refresher training to managers and supervisors, ensuring they understand how to handle FMLA requests appropriately and in compliance with the law. Ensuring that employees know their rights and the process to request leave can prevent misunderstandings and foster a supportive work environment. #HRTips #FMLA #ClearCommunication

Every employer desires engagement of employees, but some are not willing to put in the work to make it better. Culture is the foundation to drive engagement. Weak cultures and disengagement are often found together. SHRM found employees in positive work cultures are 5.7 times more likely to have high job satisfaction. #Leadership #Business #Innovation #Management #Technology #Humanresources #SocialMedia #Success #Creativity #PersonalDevelopment #Sustainability #Life #Work #Networking #Culture #Inspiration #HR #Strategy #Technology #Tulsa #Oklahoma
