The AAIM team wasn't the only one on the road this week!

joined us in Peoria, Bloomington, and Indianapolis as we wrapped up a few HR Roundtables, met with members, and spent time with some great HR leaders.

Somewhere between Illinois and Indiana, she also found time for a stop at the Indianapolis Zoo!

Not everyone gets a travel schedule like that in their first month on the job, and we're so glad she tagged along.

Want Aimsley to visit you? Learn more and share your leadership moments with her! https://aaimea.org/about-us/flat-aimsley/

Special thanks to David Lubben of Davis & Campbell L.L.C. for leading the roundtables in Illinois this month!

Welcome to the community, Vogel Heating & Cooling.

If you're growing, you're hiring. And if you're hiring, having the right systems in place can make all the difference.

That's what stood out in our conversations with Keith Isenberg and the Vogel team. Since joining AAIM in March, they've jumped in with both AAIMTrack and AAIMCheck, investing in the tools and support that help make hiring smoother, smarter, and more scalable.

We love seeing organizations take growth seriously. The companies that attract great talent consistently are usually the ones building strong processes behind the scenes long before they need them.

Susan Glascock is partnering with the team as they continue building momentum, strengthening their workforce, and preparing for what's next.

We're excited to have Vogel Heating & Cooling as part of the AAIM community. Welcome aboard!

New episode of This Week at Work — and this one's for everyone using temps, contractors, or franchise arrangements.

The DOL just proposed a new joint employer rule. Translation: when are you legally responsible for workers you don't directly employ?

Burton Garland, Jr. of Ogletree Deakins broke the whole thing down with Phil Brandt — the four-factor test, the manager habits that quietly create risk, and the comment window that closes June 22.

We turned the conversation into a guide you can actually use AND consume in the way you want! . No legalese, just what to do.

The DOL has proposed a new joint employer rule under the FLSA, FMLA, and MSPA. Employment attorney Burt Garland breaks down the four-factor test and what to do before the June 22 comment deadline.

🏕️🔥 REGISTRATION IS OPEN. 🔥🏕️

Somewhere between “write me a policy” and “build me an AI-powered HR sidekick” sits a skill that most people skip:

Prompting.

And it turns out... that's the skill everything else depends on.

So we're doing something a little different this year during AI in HR Week.

Welcome to Prompt Camp '26. A 3-hour, hands-on working session built for HR pros who are ready to stop hoping AI gives them something useful and start directing it with intention.

You'll leave with:

🏕️ Your own Prompt Playbook
🏕️ A repeatable framework you can use immediately
🏕️ Personalized prompt coaching after Camp
🏕️ Lifetime access to Prompt Coach Anna (only available to Camp grads)
🏕️ And yes... an earned Camp Badge. Because if we're doing camp, we're doing camp.

Whether you're already using ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini, or Aaime Hart, this is where you level up from user to power user. Because the way you prompt today is the ceiling on what AI can do for you tomorrow.

Early Bird pricing is live through June 30.

Choose your camp:
St. Louis — July 24
Live Online — July 28

Spots are intentionally limited so we can actually coach and work alongside you.

See you at camp!

Welcome to the community, Doing Steel Fabrication — although for Jennifer Dean, AAIM already felt familiar.

Jennifer had worked with AAIM at a previous organization, so when she joined Doing Steel and the company continued building for growth, she knew exactly who to call. That’s one of the things we value most — relationships that continue across careers, companies, and chapters.

Since joining in March, Doing Steel has already invested in both AAIM membership and AAIMTrack, our applicant tracking system, as they continue attracting strong talent and building their team intentionally.

And honestly, their momentum is a pretty good example of how quickly organizations can get plugged in and start moving with us.

Want to see what they’re building? Check out their opportunities here: https://doingsteel.aaimtrack.com/jobs/

Susan Glascock is partnering with the team as they continue growing.

We’re glad to have you with us, Doing Steel!

It's June. Quick question: when did you last check that your labor law posters are actually current?

If you had to pause on that, you're not behind — you're just human. The foundational stuff (posters, personnel files, the leave request you're hoping stays simple) never makes the urgent list. It just sits there, quietly turning into risk.

So this month at AAIM, we're going back to the fundamentals:

– Two free compliance checklists — Posters + Recordkeeping — to see exactly where you stand
– Compliance Through Case Study: real FMLA, ADA & PWFA cases, taught by attorneys from Ogletree Deakins
– Plus roundtables, the HR Essentials series, and a new session on handling employee relations before they escalate

You don't master the year by chasing the big, shiny stuff. You master it by making sure the basics never become the thing that trips you up.

Master the fundamentals. Master the year.
