Monday after the Super Bowl is basically an HR case study each year. UKG projected an unprecedented number of people will be out: 🏈 13.1 million taking a pre-approved day off 🔄 6.5 million swapping shifts 🤒 3.3 million calling out “sick” 👻 1.6 million “ghosting” their job Wondering about your experience today. How was attendance? Where most absences planned or unplanned?

I thought this tool from AIHR might be helpful as we start the year. You’ve probably heard of SWOT analysis. This is one specific to your organization’s HR function.

What's one HR task you dread the most?

What is one thing that you do NOT want to carry into 2026?
