HR on Tap Membership Application and Agreement

This document outlines the expectations and commitments for all members of the HR on

Tap community. By joining, members agree to adhere to the principles below, ensuring a

focused, confidential, and professional environment dedicated to HR excellence.

1. Statement of Purpose & Core Value

HR on Tap is a dynamic, monthly ecosystem designed for business leaders and their

designated teams (including business owners, office managers, and "accidental HR

managers") who are actively responsible for HR functions.

Our mission is to move members from a place of uncertainty and risk to one of clarity,

confidence, and expert guidance regarding the modern regulatory landscape, employee

retention, and culture building.

Core Focus: Navigating HR complexities, including compliance with looming legislative

shifts (e.g., Minimum Wage changes, Worker Classification, Pay Transparency, Paid Leave

Expansion).

Method: A structured, monthly collaborative group led by an HR Expert (Lisa O'Connor).

Result: Building a thriving culture, driving increased employee retention, and mitigating

organizational risk.

2. Membership Commitment & Conduct

A. Professional Responsibility & Confidentiality

Information Sharing and Liability: Members understand that the information and expert

guidance shared within HR on Tap is advisory and informational only. It is intended to

increase clarity and confidence but does not constitute professional legal or financial

advice. The leadership, the HR Expert, Crystel Clear Business Strategies, and it’s affiliates

are not liable for any actions, decisions, or outcomes resulting from the use of this

information. Members cannot hold the HR on Tap leadership or the HR Expert, Crystel

Clear Business Strategies, or any of it’s affiliates legally responsible for compliance or

operational decisions made within their own organizations. Members must consult with

their own legal counsel, accountants, or specialized advisors for specific legal

interpretations, compliance verification, or formal professional advice.

Confidentiality: All members commit to maintaining the strict confidentiality of any

business-specific challenges, sensitive employee issues, or proprietary processes shared

by other members during meetings.

Professionalism: Members will engage with the HR Expert and peers in a respectful,

constructive, and professional manner at all times.

B. Active Participation & Engagement

Attendance: Members commit to making a good-faith effort to attend the monthly

collaborative meetings. Consistent presence is crucial for staying current on regulatory

changes and maximizing the benefit of the ecosystem.

Collaboration: This is not a passive lecture series. Members are expected to actively

contribute, share relevant experiences, and engage in the discussions to help find

solutions for others and for themselves.

Implementation: Members commit to taking the clarity and expert guidance gained from

the group and actively applying it within their organizations to drive change.

3. Operational Terms

Eligibility: Membership is designated for business leaders and their team members who

actively wear the HR hat for their organization.

Membership Cap: The group is limited to ensure a high-quality, intimate, and focused

collaborative experience.

Group Leadership: The HR Expert and leadership reserve the right to address any violation

of this agreement or conduct that disrupts the group's professional and collaborative

environment.
