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

Check out yesterday's challenge post and add your comments (you'll be entered into a drawing every time you comment) JOB DESCRIPTIONS Job descriptions aren’t sexy or exciting, but they are quietly one of the most foundational documents in all of HR. And they touch far more processes than most organizations realize – everything from recruiting and onboarding to compensation to legal compliance. Are yours up to date, and are you using a proper format? Head over to the CLASSROOM if you’d like a JOB DESCRIPTION TOOLKIT. It’s free and provides you with a roadmap for developing or updating your job descriptions. ⁉️How often are job descriptions updated at your organization?

This week is the D for Diet. You are probably thinking, "Oh no, she didn't - not on Thanksgiving week." Well, we all get a pass for Thanksgiving Day. When I say DIET, I don’t mean go on one. I mean eat foods that nourish your body – protein, fruits, veggies. Limit sugar and processed foods. You know what to do! 👉 SHARE: What’s one thing you’ll do to focus on improving your diet this week? 🎁Each time you share, you're entered into a prize drawing.

It’s Week 2 of the Challenge, and we’re focusing on exercise and movement. I know… cue the collective groan. Most of us have room to improve here! The CDC recommends about 30 minutes of activity most days, but the real key is this: do something you actually enjoy. If you hate running, don’t force yourself to train for a 5K. If you like to dance, try Zumba or a dance class. For those of us with desk jobs, remember sitting is the new smoking. Try to get up and stretch, walk, or move every couple of hours. 👉 SHARE: What’s one small thing you’ll do this week to move more? Don’t forget — sharing each week enters you into the prize drawing!
