Did you know that 2 million U.S. workers experience workplace violence annually? The holiday season brings festive cheer, increased foot traffic, and higher sales for retailers, but it also brings unique challenges for employees, including heightened stress and a greater risk of workplace violence. Retail employees are especially vulnerable due to frequent public interactions and high-traffic environments. Here’s how retailers can proactively prioritize employee safety: 1️⃣ Implement Prevention Programs: Even without state-mandated laws, retailers can adopt policies like those in New York’s Retail Worker Safety Act, including workplace violence prevention training and panic button systems. 2️⃣ Upgrade Training: Generic programs won’t cut it—tailor training to real-world retail scenarios with role-playing exercises and interactive tools that resonate with younger, tech-savvy employees like Gen Z. 3️⃣ Foster a Speak-Up Culture: Anonymous reporting channels and open communication can build trust and ensure safety concerns are taken seriously. Prioritizing workplace safety isn’t just seasonal—it’s essential year-round. At Exceptional HR, we can help businesses create customized policies, effective training, and supportive cultures that protect employees and foster a safe, thriving workplace.

Our team at Exceptional HR Solutions is in the holiday spirit and excited for all the fun to come! Rest and recharge is so important In the work-life balance! What holiday fun are you most looking forward to over the break?

Taking time off during the holidays isn’t just good for employees—it’s a strategic move for businesses too. Encouraging your team to step away and recharge has far-reaching benefits that contribute to both talent optimization and retention, making it a key focus for HR leaders. Here’s how holiday time off benefits your team and business: 1️⃣ Boosts Productivity: Rested employees return to work refreshed, more focused, and ready to perform. Giving your team the chance to recharge helps prevent fatigue and enhances their ability to tackle challenges effectively. 2️⃣ Improves Morale: When employees feel supported and encouraged to take a break, it fosters a culture of trust and appreciation. High morale leads to stronger engagement, better collaboration, and ultimately, a more positive workplace culture. 3️⃣ Reduces Burnout: Overworking employees, especially during the end-of-year rush, can lead to stress and burnout. By promoting time off, HR can help employees stay healthy, motivated, and mentally resilient—key factors for long-term retention. 4️⃣ Enhances Talent Optimization: Encouraging breaks during the holidays demonstrates your company’s commitment to work-life balance, making your organization more attractive to top talent. Employees who feel cared for and valued are more likely to stay, grow, and contribute at their highest potential. At Exceptional HR, we specialize in building people-first strategies that balance employee well-being with business success. How does your company encourage employees to recharge during the holidays?

"Should Employers Monitor Remote Workers’ Productivity?" As remote work continues to reshape the modern workplace, the question of how much oversight employers should have is becoming increasingly contentious. Productivity monitoring tools—ranging from time trackers to keystroke loggers and even screenshots—are now widely available, but opinions about their use vary greatly. How do we balance accountability with autonomy? How can businesses ensure that their remote teams remain productive without overstepping boundaries? At its core, this debate touches on the values and culture of a company. Does your organization prioritize trust, flexibility, and results—or strict oversight and control? What’s your take? Should companies monitor remote workers’ productivity, or is it a step too far? Neil Katz, SPHR, RBLP-T #FutureOfWork #RemoteWork #WorkplaceCulture #HRTrends
