While writing and reviewing job descriptions might seem like one of the more tedious tasks for HR, the importance of this process can’t be understated.
There are so many laws, acts, and ordinances that employers must be aware of and in compliance with, and awareness of federal and state employment laws and regulations and how to mitigate risk is now more crucial than ever.
The changing nature of HR management demands that HR professionals participate and contribute fully to their organizations as true strategic business partners.
Management is not an easy job, especially when you’re new. Whereas before you only had yourself to worry about, now you’re responsible for leading a team. And this includes lots of responsibilities and expectations that you may not be prepared to deal with.
Ask yourself, whether it is an OFCCP audit, an EEOC investigation, a DOL probe, or an OSHA inspection: Do you know your record retention guidelines, and are you sure you are in compliance?
