Minnesota's Paid Leave is Already Changing the Game
Over the past two weeks, something unexpected has happened, and it’s catching a lot of organizations off guard. Minnesota’s new paid leave program is live, and more than 25,000 workers have already applied.
What started as a wave is now resembling the beginning of a tsunami, and the ripple effects have been immediate. Accounting teams are stretched, and HR teams are overwhelmed. Leaders in businesses of all sizes are scrambling to cover critical roles with little notice.
According to the Star Tribune, employers across the state are feeling blindsided as employees step away, and administrative workloads have spiked almost overnight. Here’s the reality: Businesses simply weren’t built for this level of disruption.
Here’s what we’re seeing firsthand here at TMG:
- A sharp increase in requests for accounting support
- A growing need for HR guidance and execution
- Leaders realizing too late that they don’t have bench strength
As December wrapped up, this was theoretical. Now, the struggle is real. We’re hearing it from clients and prospects, and we’ve already onboarded several new support engagements in just the last two weeks.
What’s happening now may feel unprecedented, but supporting teams through fractional and virtual accounting and HR work isn’t new for TMG Consulting. We’ve spent decades helping organizations adapt, scale, and stay steady through change, bringing experienced support that fits the moment without adding complexity.
If your team is feeling stretched, unsure how to respond, or simply needs experienced hands to stabilize things quickly, let’s get ahead of it together.
