When organizations find ways to support their employees through challenging times and provide stability with re-entry into the workforce with a return to work program, it can make that transition much easier for staff. The employee can come back confidently to their role and it deepens loyalty long-term.

When an employee puts in a sick leave request, it can raise all kinds of questions about employee rights, covered medical reasons, and qualifying exigencies. Luckily, state laws in place like the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) protect both the employee and employer. This law provides peace of mind and can help protect the health and welfare of FMLA-qualifying employees by providing 12 weeks of unpaid leave entitlement each calendar year.

Your company benefits program is your ace in the sleeve for attracting the best talent and making your organization stand out above the competition. During this time when mental health and wellness are top of mind, knowing that a company provides extensive coverage in the areas of health care, dental care, disability, flexible spending accounts, retirement accounts, vacations and paid time off, sick leave, and parental leave can be even more valuable to potential candidates than the salary alone. 

When you think ahead and prepare a winning employee relations strategy, it quickly proves to be a smart investment that significantly benefits the work environment — and the team members who contribute to it. A positive employee experience has been proven time and time again to lead to better employee productivity and employee retention. 

The recruiting process flow chart is the perfect complement to every hiring process. With so many moving parts and so many people involved, it helps immensely to have a structure to guide the process and weed out unsuitable candidates. It’s critical to find the best job candidates. After all, the success of any organization greatly depends on its team members.
