I was catching up on #Hacks this weekend and in watching Martha Kelley guest star as the HR person, I was reminded that for so long 𝐇𝐑 has been depicted as the 𝐚𝐰𝐤𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞-𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐝𝐨 who only has the company's best interest at heart.
In looking up rules around maternity leave, paid leave, time off, benefits, etc. the focus for so long has been 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 -- not what should the company do to be 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞𝐬.
I want to give Ronda G. McCoy, CPA, MBA a huge shout-out at LCvista because she's one of the only finance people who has ever said to me "I know we can offer different things by state, but I want to be fair to every single employee at our company. Why should we differ a policy only because CA protects its workers more?"
SO here's to 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐔𝐌𝐀𝐍 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 and making sure that HR people know all the policies and regulations by state, but that they also think about the employee first. Your HR person should be the person everyone in the company comes to when they have a problem because they know they'll have their back.
And here's the deal, if you treat your people well you won't have to be so worried about lawsuits for not following protocol...
