    With almost 35 states, cities, and counties with mandatory paid sick leave laws, HR's job has gotten even harder ‐ particularly in companies with employees in multiple states. HR professionals are increasingly confused about how to remain in compliance with the myriad of rules that are not consistent from one location to the next, while Payroll professionals are pulling their hair out to get their systems programmed to handle the often complex accrual and record‐keeping requirements. Join us for an interactive and lively discussion about how best to get in compliance in this ever‐evolving area of HR. This will be a hands‐on, deep dive for those who want to dig into the details of how to get into compliance in this challenging area. We will split up into small groups to develop sample policies.

    The ability to coach has become a sought-after quality within organizations in recent times. But what are the foundational principles that can equip someone to coach? How can we ensure coaching reinforces growth rather than limits it? And how might a growth-minded culture allow for consistent coaching to occur? By creating the shared space, establishing a presence, and ensuring we have a person's best interests at heart, we can build the foundations for coaching while identifying where it is needed most.

    When it comes to mental health and wellness this is a required skill for all of us! Have you ever had a conversation with someone that made you so mad? You just wanted to scream or throw something? You are not alone! This is the program for you! In this dynamic, high energy, and highly interactive program the audience will learn what emotional intelligence really is. Where do those pesky emotions come from? What is the process to manage them effectively? And how do you deal with all those other people that just drive you crazy?  Researchers and business experts agree that people with high emotional intelligence are consistently the top performers in their organizations. They're more resilient and flexible when things get tough and are held in the highest regard by others. Julie will share why emotional intelligence is far more than just a handy set of 'people skills,' and why many executives feel it's the one skill you must have to be successful in today's workplace!
