LYNN HR Consulting

This Thanksgiving is extra special for us. As many of you know, Lynn HR Consulting turned five years old this September. What started as a vision between Jannis and me has grown into a boutique firm serving businesses across Middle Tennessee and beyond.

As Thanksgiving approaches, gratitude is everywhere — in our homes, communities, and gatherings. But how often do you intentionally weave gratitude into your workplace?

The holidays are a joyful time — but in the workplace, they can also be tricky. From scheduling time off to planning celebrations, business owners often walk a fine line between boosting morale and managing operations.

As the holiday season approaches, many business owners are already thinking about next year — revenue goals, new projects, and growth strategies. But before you sprint into 2026, take a step back and reflect: What worked this year with your people, and what didn’t?

Halloween isn’t the only time myths can be spooky — plenty of small businesses fall for HR misconceptions that lead to real risks.

Love it or hate it, pumpkin spice season is everywhere. But fall isn’t just about cozy drinks — it’s also the ideal time to check in with your employees before the year closes.
