 One of the most important jobs you have as a parent is keeping your child safe when they are riding in a vehicle.
Each year, thousands of young children are killed or injured in car crashes. Proper use of car safety seats helps keep children safe. But, because so many different seats are on the market, many parents find this overwhelming.
Happy 2023! We all navigated a pretty bumpy road in 2022 and now we’re wondering what this unusually complicated labor market will offer up this year.
2022 introduced us to several new labor market concepts. We all read about (and some of us experienced) the chaos around return-to-office after working at home since 2020. Despised by many employees and eagerly anticipated by many employers, RTO became such a commonly discussed topic that Glassdoor designated it as “word of the year.” Also new in 2022 was the term “quiet quitting.” Apparently, a lot of employees had enough of all that “above and beyond” stuff and opted for lives beyond work. The idea isn’t a new one. Baby boomers and millennials may know it as RIP, Retire in Place.
And then there are the “boomerang employees.” Remember all those employees who left their jobs during the Great Resignation? Well, some found the grass wasn’t greener anywhere else and returned to their old jobs and/or employers. While some employers balked at the idea of rehiring former employees, others thought about the costs and training times required for new employees and welcomed them back. 
Question: Two of my employees are in a known romantic relationship. Should I acknowledge their relationship?
Answer: Finding love at work is a pretty common phenomenon. Despite the prevalence of consensual relationships at work, there are things you should consider, including having employees read and sign a Consensual Relationship Policy. This policy could include that:
● the relationship is truly consensual
● all parties to the relationship are aware of the company’s code of ethics, sexual harassment and non-discrimination policies
● all parties will conform to the company’s code of conduct policy and will maintain a strict professional demeanor while at work or at work functions
● employees in a supervisor/subordinate relationship will be reassigned so that no formal line of authority exists within the relationship
● the repercussions of not complying with the Consensual Relationship Policy includes discipline up to and including termination, and that the burden of adherence to the policy falls largely and
squarely on the highest-ranking employee in the relationship.

 NAAIA extends our deepest sympathies to the family of Tyre Nichols, who was brutally murdered by Memphis police officers.
At NAAIA, our focus is on the equitable diversification of workplaces and ensuring Black, African American and People of Color have access to the professional development, mentoring and sponsorship necessary to achieve success at every level. The murder of Tyre Nichols reminds us that our mission to diversify the insurance industry is not exclusive to the work needed to address and repair the effects of institutional racism that are alive and well in our society.
We stand with the family of Tyre Nichols, the city of Memphis and all who are experiencing harm at his loss. As we enter another watershed moment in the movement, we encourage our members and friends to engage in self-care, taking and holding space for your grief as needed.
In grace and peace,
Omari Jahi Aarons
Executive Director & Chief Operating Officer
