Purciarele Group - HR Simplified

  As the Weather Cools, Check In Before Things Cool Off at Work By Purciarele Group, LLC We love HR so you don’t have to™ When the temperature drops, something subtle shifts — not just outside, but in us. The pace slows, the days feel shorter, and even the most motivated among us start to feel that late-year fatigue. Coffee cups multiply, inboxes overflow, and somewhere between October and December, the warmth that carried us through summer starts to cool — sometimes literally, sometimes emotionally. It’s the time of year when I always ask leaders one simple question: “Are you checking in on your people?” The Chill Isn’t Just in the Air This time of year can bring out the best and worst in workplace culture. The holidays approach, deadlines pile up, and everyone is juggling more than what shows on the surface. Even employees who love their jobs might be feeling worn out — from balancing family obligations, tightening finances, seasonal illnesses, or just the constant drumbea...

November at the Crossroads: Heritage, Health & Human Potential in the Workplace By Purciarele Group November isn’t just the gateway to the holidays — it’s a month of reflection, resilience, and responsibility. It’s Native American Heritage Month. It’s American Diabetes Month. It’s Movember. It's so much more! It’s a time when health, history, and humanity intersect — and the workplace becomes a powerful space to acknowledge, support, and uplift all three. At Purciarele Group, we believe HR isn’t just about compliance — it’s about connection. It’s about showing up for people in ways that go beyond the policies and paperwork. This November, we invite leaders to lead with intention, build with empathy, and create systems that reflect the full spectrum of human experience. 🌿 Heritage in the Workplace: Creating Space for Story Heritage is personal. It’s rooted in family, tradition, and lived experience. In November, many organizations take time to recognize cultural history and ide...

💼 HR Has a Heart — Even When We Have to Tuck It Away for a Moment By Purciarele Group Behind every policy, every hard conversation, and every “let’s talk privately,” there’s a human being who truly cares — not just about compliance and performance, but about people. We’re the ones who quietly celebrate your wins. Who notice when something feels off. Who stay up at night thinking about how to make workplaces healthier, safer, and more human. HR isn’t a machine that spits out rules. It’s a group of professionals who carry the weight of balancing what’s best for both the business and the people who make that business possible. And yet — here’s the part most people never see. Sometimes, in order to do that job well, we have to tuck our emotions away for a moment. Not because we’re cold or detached. But because we care so much that we have to protect that heart long enough to make the right call. ❤️ When HR Feels — Even When We Can’t Show It HR professionals see the best and hardest part...

  The Real Reasons Employees Quit (and What Small Businesses Can Actually Fix) By Purciarele Group When employees leave, they’re often running from something — not to something. And if you’re a small business owner, that truth can sting. Exit interviews often sound the same: “I didn’t feel heard.” “I didn’t see a future here.” “I loved the work — but not the environment.” The hard truth? People rarely quit overnight. They leave after many small moments that add up: a missed opportunity for feedback, a broken promise, or the creeping realization that things aren’t getting better. But here’s the good news — most of those reasons are fixable . Let’s dig into what’s really driving turnover and how small businesses can turn it around. 1️⃣ Lack of Communication and Clarity When communication breaks down, trust follows close behind. Employees don’t expect perfection — they just want direction. If roles change, expectations shift, or policies evolve without clear explanation...

  HR with Heart: Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness in the Workplace By Purciarele Group October is a month of powerful awareness campaigns — and at Purciarele Group, we believe in showing up for all of them. Last week, we stood in solidarity with survivors and advocates during Domestic Violence Awareness Week . This week, we’re turning our attention to another deeply personal cause: Breast Cancer Awareness Month . This isn’t just about wearing pink (though we love a good theme day 💕). It’s about creating workplaces that support, educate, and empower — because health and wellbeing start where we work. 💗 Why Breast Cancer Awareness Matters at Work Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the U.S. during their lifetime. That means it’s not a distant issue — it’s personal. It’s your coworker, your client, your friend, your family member. It might even be you. And while early detection saves lives, many people delay screenings due to fear, lack of access, or simply not knowing ...

 💜 Recognizing the Unseen:  Domestic Violence and the Workplace 💜 By Purciarele Group October marks Domestic Violence Awareness Month , a powerful reminder that what happens at home can deeply affect what happens at work. Behind missed shifts, late arrivals, or sudden changes in behavior, there may be stories of fear, instability, or survival that never reach the surface. For employers and HR professionals, this isn’t just a personal issue — it’s a workplace responsibility . 🕊️ Why This Matters to Every Employer Domestic violence doesn’t stop when the workday begins. It can impact productivity, attendance, safety, and team morale. Victims often rely on their jobs for stability, but fear of losing employment or privacy keeps many silent. Small and mid-sized businesses, especially those with close-knit teams, are uniquely positioned to notice early warning signs and create a culture of care that protects both employees and the organization. ⚖️ Employment Laws You Sho...
