October, the month of fright, brings a whole bunch of fears with it! What do you dread?
I can tell you about my dog’s fear. It’s all about the noises that give her the heebie-jeebies. Thunder, construction, and even a knock on the door can send her into a tailspin. We even got her a thunder shirt, which is supposed to make her feel safe, but it doesn’t seem to work. When Chloe gets scared, she runs to her safe haven—the coat closet.
As business owners and managers, we also face threats that can make us feel like we’re in a horror movie.
These include immigration visits requesting our I-9s, OSHA surprise inspections, state unemployment audits, workers’ compensation audits, wage and hour audits, and any other type of audit. Even though we might want to hide in a closet, we can’t hide from these scary things.
So, how can business owners and managers find their safe space?
In these situations, it’s essential to be prepared. Consult with the trusted advisors at The HR Team for assistance. We can help you mitigate potential threats with confidence, rather than fear.
