Summary
It's that time of year - along with the changing of the seasons, it is time for transition. Q3 ended in September, along with the Summer season, so the correlation is real when considering the 4th quarter business goals. It's time to consider actions for winding down the year, and looking ahead to the 1st quarter of 2026.
It’s that time of year – along with the changing of the seasons, it is time for transition. Q3 ended in September, along with the Summer season, so the correlation is real when considering the 4th quarter business goals. It’s time to consider actions for winding down the year, and looking ahead to the 1st quarter of 2026.
This is not something you can or should speed-run. Re-evaluating your business strategy with your workforce as you reflect on the previous months of 2025 and examining the current reactive or proactive needs of your organization takes time and intentional consideration.
Among other things, clients and business owners that I’m working with are considering and allocating their resources toward:
1. Evaluating the cost strategy for benefits offerings and employee enrollments to plan for the open enrollment period
2. Auditing of employer practices with onboarding and offboarding, along with time off policies
3. Completing compliance trainings
4. Administering annual performance evaluations
5. Evaluating staffing strategy for best strong year finish, followed by preparing for positive new year positions
6. Reviewing the current employee handbook for compliance and potential policy edits
7. Finishing Job and salary analysis to complete any January 1 changes needed
If any of the items above resonate with your current business needs for the 4th quarter, give me a call or send me an email. Together we will ensure that you finish 2025 strong, and emerge stronger, with a plan of action for 2026.
