NHRMA 2022 Conference | Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Success: The Strategic Work of Leaders

Oct. 5, 10:30–11:30 AM | Spokane, WA

It’s an exciting time to lead the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) work in organizations. Unfortunately, employers often begin implementing DEI without building the strategic foundation essential for its success. An underdeveloped strategy often results in many start-and-stops, setbacks, and ultimately, its failure. Whether your DEI efforts are underway or you’re looking for a sound approach to begin your journey, this session is for you. Learn the strategic work of leaders that results in DEI being a positive transformational force for an organization.

Presented by Joseph Marth, Sr. Consultant, Workplace Innovation

SIHRMA Fall Workshop | Effective Workplace Investigations

Oct. 13 | Anacortes, WA

Employers have a duty to conduct a prompt and thorough investigation of alleged acts of discrimination, harassment, or other claims of workplace misconduct. Employer liability can hinge on the quality of the company’s investigation, therefore, it’s critical employers understand when they must investigate and the steps they need to take. In this presentation, Colleen Mayer will review the importance of investigations, when investigations must/should occur, and how to conduct and conclude a workplace investigation effectively.

CUNA Compliance & Risk Council Conference | Emerging Risks, Workin’ 9 to 5

Oct. 18, 11:00–12:00 PM | San Diego, CA

With credit unions moving away from the traditional 9-to-5 work at the office business plan, what emerging and shifting risks do leaders need to consider? We are seeing more emphasis on outcome-based performance, focusing on results over processes or location of work. With less face-to-face oversight emotional intelligence (EQ) is moving up the ladder of importance and requires strong leaders to maintain and grow the culture your organization has built.

Presented by Mark Nelson, Senior HR Advisor
