Tips to Optimize Your LinkedIn Account for BeginnersInneke Herwono
For entry-level job seekers, LinkedIn profiles should be professional and optimized to attract recruiters. Key tips include only including career-relevant content; using a simple, clear professional photo; completing all relevant profile sections; including relevant keywords, projects, and accomplishments; and obtaining recommendations to strengthen the profile. The goal is to make the profile easily searchable to relevant recruiters and opportunities.
You cannot outsource successfully on your own. You must build a team of skilled outsourcers ("A players") who complement your strengths and weaknesses. Start small by outsourcing minor tasks on websites to evaluate potential outsourcers. Consider building a virtual team by outsourcing tasks like graphics, video, coding, writing, etc. For a serious outsourcing team, consider hiring from the Philippines where workers are well-educated, have strong English skills and a strong work ethic, costing as little as $200 per week. Properly onboard and train outsourcers, establish clear expectations and communication, and create systems and documentation to allow for repetition and scale.

The Rules Do Apply: Navigating HR ComplianceAggregage
https://www.humanresourcestoday.com/frs/26903483/the-rules-do-apply--navigating-hr-compliance
HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
This is a particular pain point for small HR departments, or HR departments of 1, that lack compliance teams and in-house labor attorneys. So, what do you do?
The goal of this webinar is to make you smarter in knowing what you should be focused on and the questions you should be asking. It will also provide you with resources for making compliance more manageable.
Objectives:
• Understand the regulatory landscape, including labor laws at the local, state, and federal levels
• Best practices for developing, implementing, and maintaining effective compliance programs
• Resources and strategies for staying informed about changes to labor laws, regulations, and compliance requirements

You have the new AI tools, but how can you help your team use them to their full potential? As technology is changing daily, it’s hard to learn and keep up with the latest developments. Help your team amplify their learning with a new collaborative learning approach called the Learning Hive.
This session outlines the Learning Hive approach that sets up collaborations that foster great learning without the need for L&D to produce content. The Learning Hive enables effective knowledge sharing where employees learn from each other and apply this learning to their work, all while building stronger community bonds. This approach amplifies the impact of other learning resources and fosters a culture of continuous learning within the organization.
