January: re:Work with Google
Google has fantastic free customizable resources for employers on the topics of Goal Setting, Hiring, Innovation, Learning & Development, Managers, People Analytics, Teams & Unbiasing. I could spend all 12 months just highlighting each incredible free resource they offer! Check it out if you haven’t already!
February: FMLA
The DOL has tremendous FREE resources available about the FMLA – fact sheets, posters, interactive guidance and more. The hidden gem is the FMLA PowerPoint presentation that can be downloaded and used to train HR or any FMLA administrator. You can find that presentation under the E-tools tab!
March: OFCCP Resource
April & May: Here’s a consolidated list of the most helpful FFCRA resources (I’m also happy to help!):
June: Unconscious Bias Webinar
July: ADA
In honor of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) celebrating 30 years this month, I am sharing free and helpful ADA resources for my July resource. The ADA applies to employers with 15 employees or more.
The EEOC enforces the ADA in the workplace. There is a plethora of helpful information on the site including specific guidance for specific disabilities such as cancer and epilepsy. Always check the resources here for any ADA questions.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) does not enforce the ADA, but it does offer publications and other technical assistance on the basic requirements of the law.
The Job Accommodation Network (JAN) is the leading source of free, expert, and confidential guidance on workplace accommodations and disability employment issues.
