Let’s face it, layoffs are brutal. There’s not much that can change that fact. BUT there are measures companies can (and should) take to minimize the emotional and financial toll of sudden unemployment. Outplacement services are arguably one of the most effective tools to provide to displaced employees. But what even is outplacement and why does it matter? Outplacement is a service paid for by the employer to support displaced employees in the event of a layoff. It includes comprehensive career coaching, interview training, and job search advice in 1-on-1 sessions with an expert. Navigating the challenges of workforce transitions can be daunting, but the right outplacement services can make a noticeable difference. This Forbes article dives into the benefits of outplacement, offering valuable insights for both employers and employees.

✨ Collaboration Over Competition ✨ Over the past two days, I’ve had the privilege of referring two new prospects at HR Bureau LLC to an incredible people-centric and organizational development expert right here in Kalamazoo County. Why? Because while HR Bureau is rooted in processes, systems, and people, we use a systematic approach underpinned by EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) principles. Our expertise is in designing and executing these structures effectively, but collaboration with specialized partners adds even more value. One of the highlights of my week was having breakfast with the brilliant Monica Lloyd, SHRM-SCP, a leader in inclusivity and leadership development. If you haven’t experienced her presentation or seen HR Disrupt’s powerful five-minute segment, “It’s Not About You, It’s About Them,” you are truly missing out. Monica’s insights are transformative, and she embodies the spirit of putting people first. At HR Bureau, our mission is clear: revolutionizing workplace culture and shifting mindsets across Michigan. But when it comes to deep-diving into people strategy and development, I’m happy to team up with or refer to the true experts. For those of us who thrive on collaboration and don’t view the world through a scarcity mindset, let’s connect. Whether it’s with Monica, me, or both of us, there’s an opportunity to grow, support, and lead together. Enjoy your weekend everyone, and keep fostering connections that elevate us all! #CollaborationOverCompetition #HRLeadership #PeopleStrategy #WorkplaceCulture #EOSPrinciples #StrategicPartnerships #MichiganHR #MindsetShift #InclusiveLeadership #HRBureau #SystemsAndProcesses

It happened again, this time in Missouri. On the most recent anonymous and open-ended poll on the conference app Whova, I asked: "What do we not discuss enough in HR circles? I received 116 responses, and just like the other times I have asked a variation of this question, over 40% said the same thing: mental health of HR professionals. It's a striking and consistent reminder that while HR professionals are often the first to advocate for employees, they themselves are frequently overlooked (by themselves and others) when it comes to mental health action and care. Is there a misconception that HR should always have it together? I don't know. But the reality is HR professionals are just as susceptible to stress, burnout, and emotional fatigue as anyone else—if not more so, given the challenges of the roles. Every time I get these replies I think about suggestions on how to "fix" this problem. The truth is, no one person or thing can "fix" this, as it is very personal to each individual. I do think, however, that when HR is healthy, so is the company. 💡 We can start with making sure HR is valued in every organization. #mentalhealth #hrwellbeing #leadership #employeeeellbeing

In two weeks I'll be presenting the Top 5 Priorities for HR for the 8th time at the SHRM Annual conference in Chicago (Tuesday 6/25 at 3:30 for those in attendance). Each year for the past 8 years, I've done a survey of HR professionals to get the voice from the field about what keeps them up at night, then I present some possible solutions for the top 5 issues. (Hat tip to my friend and amazing veteran speaker Dick Finnegan for the idea all those years ago.) I was surprised to see some new items resurface on this year's list. What do you think will be number one? (I use the 23 choices of behavioral competencies and technical expertise from the #SHRM BASK as choices.) Don't worry - I'll post the actual results after the conference (I don't want to ruin the surprise for the attendees 😉). HR Soul Consulting #SoulifyYourHR #SHRM24 #Speaking #HR

Have you heard of the SHRM Civility Index? The Civility Index score is currently sitting at 45.6—which means that incivility is on the rise in the workplace. 😳 Let’s check out the stats…📊 202 million acts of incivility happen daily, leading to over $2 billion in lost productivity every single day. The impacts? Burnout, stress, and disengaged employees. 😔 💬 62% of U.S. workers say their managers ignore acts of incivility. 💼 66% believe their managers care more about business objectives than how people are treated. It’s time to break the cycle of incivility! Think about this, if you’ve experienced it, you’re more likely to spread it. 😱 Let’s stop the spiral and lead with empathy, respect, and kindness! What’s fueling the fire? 🔥 Disagreements over social issues, political views, generational gaps, and more.
