HR Outsourcing Expert -You don’t have to give up control to give away HR problems #HRGal

I spoke with a client last week who was preparing for a trip and we had a chance to go over some ways to keep his home safe when he’s away. I thought this information might be helpful to you in case travel is on your agenda! -Set timers. Setting timers on indoor lights is a great way to give the impression someone is home, therefore discouraging anyone thinking of making your house a target. -Turn off water. I have had countless clients whose pipes have frozen and/or burst while they were out of town. This can cause extensive damage to your home and is easily avoidable by turning off the water main when you are away. -Hold mail and newspaper. Nothing screams “no one’s home” like a pile of newspapers or mail spilling out of the mailbox. Be sure to fill out the appropriate online forms to hold your mail and paper while on vacation or have a neighbor pick it up daily. -Let your alarm company know when you will be gone. If you have an alarm system, it’s a good idea to let them know you will be out of town. They will be less likely to dismiss a call or alert if they are aware of your absence. Travel well! #TravelGal #traveltips #thorntonhalltravel
