October 30th is Haunted Refrigerator Night—the one day we shine a flashlight into the dark corners of our fridge and confront the ghosts of leftovers past. (That mystery casserole? Definitely possessed. The jar with no label? Pure evil.) But here’s the scary truth: workplaces can become haunted too. When hazards go unreported, near-misses are...
This week’s story is about one of our clients who reached out with a very sensitive concern. They discovered that an employee had a medical condition that could impact their ability to work safely with patients. Naturally, this raised some questions: What are their rights as an employer? How should they move forward in a...
Source: SPARK Workers’ compensation insurance is essential for safeguarding your employees. With several states moving toward increases, plan ahead with practical strategies that can help keep you compliant and cost-effective. Workers’ compensation insurance premiums are on the rise again. One of the biggest developments is happening in California. Beginning September 1, 2025, the...
This supervisor is totally unacceptable and if they worked for me, they wouldn’t be working for me very long. To expect an employee to get a task done and give them two minutes to get it done is totally unacceptable. The employee was absolutely right in saying that this is an unrealistic expectation and your...
October 23rd is National Slap Your Irritating Co-Worker Day. While we’re (definitely!) not endorsing that holiday, it does shine a light on something important: every industry has its own unique irritations and hazards. The good news? You don’t need to slap problems away—you can solve them with the right industry-specific safety programs. Construction &...
Change is hard—but it doesn’t have to break your team. With clear communication, empathy, and listening, transitions become opportunities for growth. Change is never easy—especially at work. One of my clients recently brought in a new manager to oversee a department. As you can imagine, the manager introduced some new ways of doing things,...

Bright Horizons’ newly released 2025 Modern Family Index reveals how family dynamics during the warm months directly impact job performance—and signals clear opportunities for employers to step in....
This is an interesting one because the employee really is not doing anything wrong. If there was no policy or if the policy just said they can work remotely, where they work shouldn’t matter. Working from home or working from the forest, working from a cruise ship shouldn’t matter if the policy is written properly....
Spirit Day reminds us to stand up, show support, and create safe spaces for everyone. October isn’t just about awareness, it’s about action. Just as employees wear purple to support Spirit Day, companies can “show their spirit” by prioritizing equipment and physical safety programs that protect their teams every day. When employees feel...
This week, a client called me with a difficult situation. One of their employees was accused by a co-worker of stealing. But here’s the challenge: there was no proof. On top of that, the same employee failed to call in and missed two scheduled shifts. That’s a direct violation of company policy. My...
