  Why Employee Complaints Are a Gift Your Business Shouldn’t Ignore And What They Reveal About Your Workplace Long Before a Crisis Hits By Purciarele Group Most business owners don’t wake up excited to hear an employee say, “Can I talk to you?” For many, complaints feel like problems — another fire to put out on an already stressful day.

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!

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.

It’s rooted in family, tradition, and lived experience. In November, many organizations take time to recognize cultural history and ide...
