Discover how to avoid the 5 most common mistakes California employers make with their Sick/PTO policies. California regulations can be confusing, leading many employers to implement non-compliant policies. Since new regulations took effect in January 2024, it's estimated that only half of California's employers have a compliant Sick/PTO policy. This means there's a high chance that your policy may not be compliant, potentially putting you at risk of fines or lawsuits. Luckily, there are simple adjustments you can make to bring your policies back into compliance. Join our free Sick/PTO Compliance Tips webinar hosted by employment attorney Chris Olmsted.

Every year employers are sued for mismanagement of leaves of absence, particularly in California. California law provides many protections for employees who require a leave of absence. Managing employee leaves of absence can be complex, especially in California where regulations are stringent (in particular CFRA and PDL). Here’s a streamlined guide to help you navigate the process effectively: 1. Establish a Compliant Leave Policy: Start by creating a clear policy that informs employees about the types of leaves available, who they should contact, and the overall process. This ensures everyone knows what to expect and how to proceed when the need arises. 2. Employee Requests (or there is suspicion an employee needs) Leave: When an employee informs you of their need for leave, even if it’s not a formal request, gather enough details to determine eligibility. 3. Determine Eligibility: Check the employee’s eligibility based on location, tenure, and reason for leave. Different leaves have different requirements, so it’s crucial to know which rules apply. 4. Notify the Employee of Their Rights: Once eligibility is determined, notify the employee of their rights and obligations, including any medical certifications needed. An employee must receive a CFRA notice within 5 days. Ensure the employee is aware of potential benefits, like Paid Family Leave (PFL) or State Disability Insurance (SDI). 5. Designate the Leave: After receiving any required documentation, formally designate the type of leave being provided. This step ensures clarity and compliance with the relevant laws. 6. Coordinate Wages and Benefits: If the employee is eligible for benefits like PFL or SDI, coordinate with payroll to ensure proper wage integration and benefits continuation. 7. Reinstate the Employee: Before the employee returns, ensure all necessary medical releases are obtained. Reinstating them promptly to their original position is essential for compliance. Navigating leave management can be tricky, but with these steps, you’ll be well on your way to ensuring both compliance and a supportive work environment. Need more guidance?

What a whirlwind of a week! First, I’m incredibly honored to be named on this year’s N2Growth Top CHRO List 🙏 I’m grateful to be recognized alongside some of the most inspiring people leaders in the field. Please check out the full list below. This week has been filled with energizing conversations and moments of reflection.  I was a panelist at BrightHire's inaugural "Shine" conference, where we dove into the Future of Talent Management, discussing how we can hire, manage, and grow talent over the next decade. I also did a keynote at General Atlantic's Chief People Officer's gathering, where we explored strategies to scale sustainably in today's fast-evolving world AND I facilitated a conversation with Cesar Carvalho (he/his) Carvalho and Lívia de Bastos Martini from Wellhub on how critical wellbeing is to resilience and performance.  The energy and innovation I’ve seen from the talent leaders I met this week remind me of why I’m so excited about the future of work. We are shaping and driving meaningful change in our organizations, and ensuring that talent drives business success. As my new friend Tia Silas says, it's not HR, it's just instilling the values of great company building. What stood out to me this week is how united we are in our mission to build organizations that perform and thrive. I’m inspired by the work being done in our field and confident that together, we can create sustainable, human-centered workplaces that lead with purpose. Stay tuned for more thoughts and takeaways from this amazing week—there’s so much more to share! #HRLeaders #CHRO #FutureOfWork #N2Growth #TalentManagement #BrightHire #HRTransformation

Scaling a startup comes with growing pains—managing culture, policies, and people often takes a backseat to revenue goals. That’s where a Fractional CHRO steps in, offering high-level expertise without the full-time commitment.

A Fractional CHRO bridges this gap by building frameworks for talent management, organizational culture, and compliance—all tailored to your growth stage. The best part? You get strategic guidance at a fraction of the cost of a full-time executive. They help you attract and retain top talent, refine your culture, and prepare for scaling without the burden of trial and error. For growth-stage startups, the payoff is huge: improved employee engagement, stronger compliance, and a future-ready people strategy. In a world where 86% of employees cite culture as a major factor in staying with a company, a Fractional CHRO might just be your best investment. #FractionalCHRO #StartupGrowth #PeopleStrategy #WorkplaceCulture #LeadershipSolutions #ScalingStartups

the CHRO role has undergone a fundamental transformation that few boards have fully recognized. the uncomfortable truth: modern CHROs aren't just running HR – they're architecting how entire organizations function. yet many operate in a dangerous gray zone of informal authority. consider this reality: ⭐ they're orchestrating hybrid work transformations that reshape entire business models ⭐ leading AI/automation decisions that fundamentally alter workforce composition ⭐ managing talent strategies that directly impact market valuation ⭐ driving culture shifts that determine competitive advantage ⭐ running ESG initiatives that influence investor confidence the hidden cost of this evolution: organizations that don't formally acknowledge this expanded scope create systemic dysfunction, in the form of: ↪ strategic misalignment ↪ board decisions suffer from incomplete operational context ↪ resource allocation becomes politically charged ↪ innovation gets stifled by unclear decision rights ↪ talent risk ↪ top CHRO candidates increasingly decline roles without broader scope ↪ existing CHROs face burnout from shadow responsibilities ↪ succession planning becomes murky the real conversation boards need to have: is maintaining traditional C-suite structures worth the cost of organizational friction? or is it time to fundamentally reimagine how we structure executive leadership for the AI age? just one of the things that keeps me up at night 🤣
