Strategies for Managing the Business Impacts of Wage Inflation
Managing wage inflation and labor market shortages is making it difficult for organizations to stay competitive. Should you increase salaries due to inflation? What if you can’t? How do you hire new employees without paying more to attract them? And if you do, what issues might this cause with your tenured employees’ wages? Join us to learn the answers in this free to members session.
Managing Employee Burnout and Stress
Employee burnout is on the rise. The phrase “burnout symptoms” hit an all-time Google search high in 2022. Unsustainable workloads, doing more with less, and mismatched skills, can all lead to your employees feeling burned out and stressed. In this free to members session, learn the causes of employee stress and burnout and how your organization can address it.
Developing Effective Leaders in a Hybrid Environment
Leading a team can be challenging in any environment and hybrid workplaces make it even more complex. For many organizations, the hybrid workplace is here to stay so leaders must adapt their traditional strategies and evolve to become hybrid leaders. Join us for this free to members session to learn how you can support your leaders’ development.

Taking a holistic approach to Risk Mitigation requires proactively addressing organizational threats. Multi-state compliance issues, data breaches, and workplace safety are significant sources of employment related risk for your organization.

2022 Session Descriptions
Creating an Employee-Centric Culture for a Post-Pandemic Workplace
Workplaces are very different than they were even a year ago. The pandemic has had, and continues to have, significant impacts as organizational leaders and employees have been tested mentally, physically, and emotionally these past two years. The competition for talent is fiercer than ever, employees have discovered they like flexibility . . . a lot, and employees have evolved their values and perspectives about work in general. Creating an employee centric culture is an imperative for employers that want to achieve exceptional workplaces. Learn how you can evolve your organizational culture to ensure that your employees thrive so your organization can prosper and grow.
Making DEI Real in the Workplace
Creating a workplace where diversity can thrive begins and ends with its culture. An inclusive and equitable workplace culture invites diversity and all the benefits it can bring to your organization. Join us for this session to learn more about why DEI is critical in organizations, and how you can get started or enhance your current efforts to create a more inclusive and equitable organizational culture.
Training & Development in the New Workplace
Not since WWII and the industrial revolution has the workplace and its workers seen such change, so quickly. Today, in a post Covid 19 world, learners have new, unique, distinct priorities when it comes to their development. What are learners looking for in this new workplace model? In this session, we will explore some of the emergent technologies, attitudes and norms of the new workplace and discuss how learning professionals might leverage and celebrate these new opportunities in training and development.
