Sessions

After the last two years of COVID-19 and the many challenges in the workplace it's fair to say that Human Resources professionals could use a little love. This session, a loose parody of the popular British and US television “reality” show “LOVE ISLAND”, provides a virtual retreat and respite for HR professionals. (To be clear, we know it’s been a rough year or so but this presentation doesn’t involve couples, coupling, an exotic villa or constant video surveillance. Sorry, you all still have day jobs as HR professionals and harassment policies to enforce.)

This presentation is the creation of management-side employment lawyer and frequent SHRM presenter, Attorney Jim Reidy, who always brings practical guidance, from his 32+ years of experience in this field,  in an entertaining and engaging fashion.

This presentation and its interactive exchange departs significantly from the popular TV show. This presentation focuses, in a safe environment, on the many legal challenges you have dealt with over the last few years as well as some of the issues on the horizon. This presentation has one thing in common with that salacious game show, you will not be alone. You will be surrounded by your HR colleagues.  Don’t worry, no one will judge you here! In fact, you are all valued, celebrated and appreciated, regardless of your age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, bathing suit size, certification status etc. Unlike the workplace no one will put you on the spot, raise an eye-brow, or challenge you. You have enough stress in your life.  This program promises to be reassuring, supportive, challenging and fun in a safe space.

Sessions attended in-person are first come, first served for seating.
