According to HR Hub, regular and random drug testing is becoming a vital part of workforce management, especially in industries where safety and trust are key. Employers in Guam are seeing drug testing not as a punitive tool but as a preventive measure to uphold workplace standards. The focus is on education, communication, and support for employees rather than punishment. As part of a broader employee wellness strategy, testing helps ensure productivity, safety, and reliability—factors that directly impact local economic stability. Read more.

🎧 HR Insights

Onboarding automation is gaining traction as HR departments seek to simplify complex processes and reduce human error. A recent feature in Harlem World Magazine shows how automation can transform the onboarding experience for new hires and HR teams alike. With automated checklists, e-signatures, document uploads, and integrated compliance steps, HR can streamline the process while keeping it consistent across departments and locations.

💡 HR Tips & Tricks

Tip of the Day: Host HR open hours once a week where employees can drop in virtually to ask questions or give feedback—no appointments needed. This builds trust and surfaces small issues before they grow.

Trick of the Day: Use email subject line testers to rewrite internal HR announcements. A more engaging subject line can boost open rates and help ensure that key HR updates are actually read.

🧾 HR Case Files - Improving HR Service Delivery

Bubb, a UK-based recruitment and digital solutions firm, helps growth-focused companies hire top talent. In 2020, as remote work surged, Bubb shifted to a tech-driven hiring model that enabled businesses to tap into talent globally. When clients needed support in unfamiliar territories, Bubb referred local partners without insight into their processes. This created friction and inconsistencies in service delivery. To fix this, Bubb looked for a global partner that could deliver a consistent, reliable experience. The search led them to Deel. With Deel managing payroll, contracts, and compliance, Bubb could focus on recruitment while providing clients with a smooth end-to-end experience.

Key Takeaways

• A reliable global partner can eliminate friction in international hiring.

• Aligning recruitment with compliance ensures a smooth experience.

• Credibility and trust matter just as much as speed and scale.
