Hi everyone— To follow up on the message last week. After giving it some thought, I’ve decided to discontinue the Badass HR Hub in its current format. What I’ve learned is that most of you aren’t looking for another place to log in and engage—you just want practical help, quickly, when something comes up. So, I’m shifting to simpler ways to stay connected and provide that support. Here’s how you can continue to stay connected and get value: 👉 Email – I share tips, insights, and practical guidance (much of what I’ve been posting here) https://mailchi.mp/b38448edd96c/1-leadership-hack-free-toolkits-more-17303102 👉 HR Hot Mess: Real Situations. Real Solutions sessions – short, real-world sessions where we work through actual HR situations. The next one is 5/22 from 11 to 11:30 EST. Sign up here HR Hot Mess: Real Situations, Real Solutions | InfluenceHR 👉 Badass HR Toolkit – templates, forms, and resources you can use right away. This is being offered at an introductory rate of $29.99 per month. It is much more robust, providing resource, training, office hours, etc. to help HR departments of one, none or few move from surviving to thriving. HR Toolkit for Growing Businesses | Badass HR Toolkit 👉 LinkedIn – I’ll continue sharing content and ideas there Leslie Speas, MA, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, CPC | LinkedIn I’m really grateful to those of you who have been part of this space. This helped me step back and think about how to better support you in a way that actually fits your day-to-day. I hope you’ll stay connected in one (or more) of the ways above. —Leslie

Hi everyone— I wanted to share a quick update and get your input. I’ve been paying attention to how this space is being used, and like many of you, I know time is limited and most people aren’t looking for another place to “engage.” What I hear more often is: 👉 “I just need quick, practical help when something comes up.” Because of that, I’m considering closing the Badass HR Hub in its current format and shifting to a simpler approach focused on: - practical tools and resources (the Badass HR Toolkit) - and short, real-world sessions where we work through actual situations Before I make a final decision, I’d love your input: What would actually be most helpful to you? - Quick access to templates/tools - Occasional live sessions to talk through real HR situations - Both - Or this type of space just isn’t something you’d likely use Feel free to comment or message me directly. I appreciate you being part of this space—it’s helped me think through how to better support you in a way that actually fits your day-to-day.

You’ve got a solid employee. Reliable. Good at their job. But…They create tension on the team. A little negative. Push back on decisions. Others are starting to feel it. You’ve had a couple of conversations. Nothing has really changed. 👉 What do you do next? A. Get very direct with clear expectations + consequences B. Move them out of team-facing work C. Decide it’s not worth the impact and exit D. Something else No right answer. Curious where you land.

Good Morning - We at looking at updating our policy regarding PTO rollover time at the end of the year. I am interested if offices are still allowing their employees to rollover unused PTO (our sick days are included) and if so, what is your maximum hours allowed? Thank you.
