March is Women’s History Month. Let’s give a round of applause for the women who have paved the way for us, the women making history today (that might not even now it yet), and the women that will make history in the future. Each Saturday of this month I will share with you a female feature or feminist fact to celebrate the legacy that so many before us have created. The Presidential Primary where I live takes place next week, on March 10th. I couldn’t be more grateful to have a voice, and I owe that to so many sisters (and some allied brothers!) who fought for my rights. The women’s suffrage movement was MANY decades in the making, with women finally being granted the right to vote in 1920.✊🏼. I’ll say a quiet “Thank you” to the suffragettes that made it possible when I cast my vote on Tuesday. 🗳🇺🇸. #suffragette #womenempowerment #womenshistorymonth #womenssuffrage #presidentialprimary #election #march #womenshistorymonth #womeninhistory #vote

CELEBRATE! This Friday, March 6th, is Employee Appreciation Day! How will you show your gratitude? Do you offer your people perks to say “Thank you” year round? Please share if you have special ways of making your team feel appreciated! Let’s celebrate the people that breathe life into our businesses. Human capital is your greatest asset. Take an extra moment this Friday to give some praise to your people! #employeeappreciation #celebrate #perks #alohafriday #business #gratitude #confetti #humanresources #employeeengagement

The look on my face when USCIS finally released the new I-9. 😲🤪 Have you started using the new I-9 yet? She was released at the end of January 2020, dated as version 10/21/19. You may use either the 07/17/17 N or the new version until Apr. 30. Starting May 1, employers can ONLY use the updated version, 10/21/19. You can find the edition date at the bottom of the page on the form and instructions. Need an I-9 audit? That’s something I can do! Investing in getting it correct now can save you bundles in penalties later. #humanresources #i9form #hr #business #hraudit #paperwork #letmehelpyou #hrconsulting #uscis #employmentverification

I absolutely LOVE continuing education (nerd alert🤓). That being said, I’m excited to attend a Payroll Law seminar next Monday to strengthen & refresh my knowledge in that area. Payroll is one of an organization’s largest costs 💸, and it is riddled with intricacies that can be intimidating to navigate😱. Do you have any payroll law questions that I can bring with me to my seminar? Comment below or shoot me a DM and I would love to address your questions! #pryor #continuingeducation #hrci #phr #lifelonglearning #payroll #questions #humanresources #consultant #business #businesswoman #learning

Happy Caturday!🐈 This cat gets it. It’s a mood, for sure. There are about a million things I *should* be doing today. But here’s what have I’ve actually achieved so far: • Consumed the better part of a pot of coffee, • Watched three episodes of Grace & Frankie, • Spent upwards of an hour catching up with my parents on the phone, & • Snuggled my pets endlessly. And although I haven’t accomplished a single dang thing on my to-do list, I feel totally content and grateful that I pressed pause to just enjoy a slow Saturday morning in my home. 🌿 Taking time to recharge is soooo crucial! How are you spending your #caturday? #saturdayvibes #saturdaymorning #relax #mood #lazy #recharge P.S. I feel like I need to clarify that this is not in fact my cat. I also feel like my cat would be devastated to know that she was overlooked as a Caturday feature, so pleeeease—don’t tell her. It’s not that I’m into keeping secrets, I just want to spare her feelings. 😽

Make a New Year's resolution that works for you (and doesn't fall flat). All too often, my New Year's resolution turns out to be more of a January resolution, then by the time spring rolls around, I've already left my ambitious champagne-infused goals in the dust. How can we make a resolution that sticks? This year, I want to ring in the new decade with a glass of bubbly and a SMART goal, rather than a flaky resolution. 🥂🍾🎉 A SMART goal is: Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Time-Bound. Visit the link in my bio to find a free goal-setting worksheet to help you and your team gear up for NYE. Cheers! #happynewyear #2020 #newyearsresolution #smartgoals #cheers #freeworksheet #goalsetting #humanresources #hrconsulting #plan #business #thoughtsbecomethings

Is "sea lion" a mood? 😜 I was aiming to channel my inner mermaid, but came up with sea lion instead. 🤷‍♀️ 🧜‍♀️ I'll take it! I'm looking at vacation photos, focusing on beach vibes to chase away the rain and Sunday Scaries. Where is your happy place? #beach #cabossanlucas #iwanttogoback #vacation #daydreaming #mermaid #sealion #sundayscaries #rainraingoaway #ocean #savethefishies #workhard #playharder. 📸: @vwiggle
