OPEESA has partnered with The Workplace Advisors to give members direct access to HR compliance support — the kind of resource most distributor and manufacturer members are too lean to staff in-house, but can’t afford to get wrong.

The partnership brings four concrete benefits to every OPEESA member company: unlimited HR compliance consulting, a custom Employee Handbook service built for your business rather than a generic template, monthly legislative updates so employment-law changes don’t catch you by surprise, and across-the-board service savings, including on recruiting support.

Two resources are available now through the HR Resource Library. The first is a ready-to-use Artificial Intelligence policy template — a practical starting point for companies that don’t yet have a written policy governing how employees can and can’t use AI tools at work, an increasingly common gap as these tools show up across dealer and distributor operations. The second is a recorded presentation, “Workplace Realities: Employment Law and Workforce Trends Every Distributor Should Know,” from Paige McAllister, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, VP of HR Compliance at The Workplace Advisors, covering the labor market, immigration compliance, AI regulation, and employment law changes members should have on their radar this year.

The Workplace Advisors partnership is open to any OPEESA member and requires no separate sign-up — it’s part of membership. Members can browse both resources, plus the full partnership overview, on the HR Resource Library page, and can reach The Workplace Advisors’ HR support plan directly for anything not covered there.
