2017 is just a few weeks away! Use this handy checklist to wrap up 2016 to-dos and prepare for a Happy -- and compliant -- New Year.
The end of the calendar year can be a hectic time. While many employees sink into "holiday brain," either taking off work for long periods of time or simply checking out mentally, HR has to tie up loose ends and prepare for the coming year.
It can be difficult to stay focused and balance everything out!
Checklists are an effective way to dot every "i" and cross every "t." While this list is not 100 percent comprehensive, it will give you a place to start and help you focus on what needs to be done, no matter what's happening around the office.

The end of the year is a good time to tie up loose ends, but it is also an ideal time to start planning the year ahead. Make a list of all of the initiatives you'd like to focus on and any tasks or projects you'd hoped to accomplish this year, but for whatever reason did not. Plan the steps you need to take to get those off the ground and put them on your calendar for 2017.
As you plan the coming year, think about the ways in which you can ease the strain on you and the rest of the staff. Hiring and staffing can take up a great deal of time and resources. Working with a staffing partner can help alleviate that stress while controlling hiring budgets. Make this the year you make a positive change by choosing an effective staffing partner so you can free up your precious HR resources.
