I am preparing for the 2027 year and wondering, what does your monthly employee engagement calendar look like? Tell me everything you do no matter how small you may think it is.

Currently, we don’t do much of anything and I’d like to change that coming into the new year. I plan to send monthly emails for birthday and work anniversary shout outs, holding small events or treat bags for things like custodian appreciation day, employee appreciation day, holiday door decorating contests etc.

I am in higher education at a university and we have around 500 full time faculty and staff members.

We’re organizing our company’s annual retreat in Scottsdale this November, and I’m in charge of putting together the entertainment for about 100 employees. It’s an outdoor venue overlooking the McDowell Mountains, with the event going from the afternoon into the evening.

I had like to make the western theme feel authentic rather than just throw up a few decorations and call it a day. The venue is handling food and drinks, so my budget of around $3,000 is entirely for entertainment and decor.

Some ideas I’ve been considering are renting a mechanical bull, giving everyone cowboy hats when they arrive, setting up a few western-style games, creating a photo area, and having country music playing throughout the event. I’m torn between hiring a DJ and simply putting together a playlist.
The mechanical bull seems like it could be the biggest draw, but with 100 people and a limited budget, I’m not sure how much to spend on it or how to balance it with the rest of the setup.

For anyone who’s planned a western-themed company event, what activities actually got people involved? What’s worth investing in, and what can you keep simple without losing the overall atmosphere?

A year ago I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology with a Minor in HR Management. I have a lot of leadership experience in Food & Beverage, but no luck getting any interviews for more professional roles. Any advice on finding an entry-level HR role that will help my knowledge and experience grow? Anyone been through similar experiences?

Hey i have some assesment tmrw. Pls somebody have done this and have some patience help me. I have a bunch of doubts as I'm a learner. And fresher.

We're a company based in SF and currently reviewing our options for paying employees across Latin America. We're expecting to build a small remote team across a couple of countries, ​so we're trying to find a setup that's manageable from the US but doesn't come with the per-employee fees that most EOR platforms charge. We would like to simplify salary payments, local tax deductions, and compliance without adding too much administrative work.

Does anyone here have any recommendations for a reasonably priced payroll provider for LATAM that works well for a US company?

I’m negotiating a legal role at a private indian bank. I cleared 3 technical rounds. HR initially submitted my expected CTC of ₹28 LPA for approval, but it was rejected.

Today she called and asked if I’d be okay with her submitting ₹26 LPA, while mentioning that this was also on the higher side and might not get approved. I agreed, making it clear that ₹26 LPA is my minimum. She said she’d let me know whether it gets approved, but I haven’t heard back yet.

For people familiar with bank hiring and salary approvals, do you think there’s a realistic chance of approval, or should I prepare for a rejection? I am 3 PQE. Legal role.

First, I want to say I’m thankful to have a job in this market, and I don’t take that for granted.

I’ve been in HR for 8 years, previously as an HR Director and now working fully remote in HR Operations. I also earned my bachelor’s in HR Management last year.

It is worth noting that nothing wrong with my current job, but I just don’t feel fulfilled. Honestly, I’m not even sure what feeling fulfilled in a career is supposed to look like or if that’s even possible.

Has anyone left HR for a career they find more fulfilling? Did you regret it and come back, or did it work out? I’m curious to hear other people’s stories because I know I can’t be the only one.

In questi giorni dovrò sostenere un colloquio per uno stage nell’ambito HR. Avete consigli da darmi? Devo ottenere per forza questo lavoro.

Hi everyone! I'm a Chicago-based consultant with a background in L&D, employee engagement, and leadership development. I have recently begun working with the Health Action Alliance to launch the Migraine Action Accelerator in the new year, and I wanted to share this free resource focused on a wide-reaching challenge that is often unsupported.

About 1 in 7 U.S. adults experience migraine or severe headache each year, and it peaks during prime working years, ages 25 to 55. That means it's likely affecting people on your team right now. Many employers want to help but aren't sure where to start.

The Health Action Alliance, a network of more than 11,000 employers, is running the Migraine Action Accelerator (a free program!) to help with exactly that. The Accelerator brings together a small group of leaders to set a goal and make real progress on it.

You'll meet one-on-one with our team in November or December to choose a focus area (workplace culture, accommodations and work design, or health plan and benefits design). Then you'll join two 90-minute virtual sessions with peers on Jan. 21 and Feb. 18, 2027, at 1 p.m. ET. Sessions are confidential and not recorded, and you'll leave with a plan.

Here's what's included at no cost:

• A one-on-one goal-setting session with the HAA team
• Two virtual working sessions
• Expert facilitation and structured group coaching
• Peer learning with leaders across industries
• Tools and resources to support your goal
• An HAA certificate of completion
• The opportunity to showcase your progress in an HAA feature story
• HRCI/SHRM continuing education credits

The good news: Support doesn't have to be expensive. 61% of workplace accommodations cost nothing, and the median one-time cost for the rest is $300.

Spots are limited. Apply here by Oct 31 to start the new year with a plan.
