Business & Learning Resources (BLR), a leading provider of business training and compliance solutions, is pleased to announce the expansion of topic areas covered in its flagship HR product, HR Hero®. Effective June 2023, HR Hero will include additional topics to provide more comprehensive decision support to its HR and PEO subscribers.

The new topics added to HR Hero include voting leave and reimbursements. The new additions are in response to the increasing number of states enacting regulations in these areas. By incorporating voting leave and reimbursements in HR Hero, BLR aims to streamline compliance management across different states, making it easier for HR departments to ensure compliance.

In addition to the new topics, HR Hero expanded coverage of existing areas, including retirement savings, pension plans, the FLSA, deductions in pay, and paychecks. This expansion beyond federal coverage addresses the growing number of states with mandates in these areas. BLR has expanded its insight on state-specific requirements to support local and multistate employers better as new regulations and guidance are released.

The new topics and expanded coverage within HR Hero provide clear summaries and in-depth analyses of employment law requirements through the Federal and State Topic Analysis tool. HR professionals can also access actionable documents and downloads like training materials, checklists, and articles. These resources are designed to be ready to use and provide busy HR departments with easy-to-understand insights on complex HR policies and employment laws.

"After evaluating trends in employment law and subscriber feedback, we made it a priority to enhance HR Hero by expanding the topics covered to address the evolving needs of HR professionals," said Celeste Duke, SPHR, managing editor at BLR. "Our goal is to provide comprehensive, reliable, and actionable information that empowers HR departments to stay compliant, save time, and confidently navigate the intricate landscape of HR compliance."

BLR's expansion of topics covered in HR Hero demonstrates the company's commitment to providing reliable and comprehensive compliance solutions that meet the needs of HR professionals. To learn more about HR Hero, visit blr.com/solutions/hr-solutions.
