Performance and conduct problems are some of the trickiest situations that cross an HR person’s desk, and they rarely come with a roadmap. This fast-paced session is a practical overview of how to address employees who are struggling with performance or conduct. It’s a solid refresher for those with years of experience handling their organization’s HR function, and a confidence-building foundation for anyone newer to these responsibilities.

We’ll cover best practices for:

• Having coaching conversations with a poor performer
• Coaching an employee with conduct concerns
• Issuing performance-related and conduct-related corrective action (and how the two differ)
• Key aspects of corrective action documents
• Separating employment for conduct- or performance-related concerns

Handling these moments well matters — for the employee and for the whole organization. Join us for a fast-paced, clear, practical grounding in the best practices behind managing performance and separations.

This hands-on webinar walks you step-by-step through using AI for your everyday HR tasks. We’ll show you how to get fast, accurate results using the free version of ChatGPT — no experience required.

We’ll cover:

• How to train ChatGPT (or Copilot, Gemini, etc.) on employment laws or other technical content, so you can get quick answers or generate tables and documents from it
• How to build accurate, polished training PowerPoints from technical content like operating manuals and employment laws
• How to turn content you give AI — like photos or policies — into properly formatted newsletters
• How to have AI generate photos that look completely real
• How to run an adverse impact analysis on your employment data, then have AI double-check its own work for mistakes (aka “hallucinations”)
• How to turn your open enrollment guide into a quick, digestible summary for employees — or a benefits overview for your handbook

Whether you’re brand new to AI or already dabbling, you’ll walk away with practical, ready-to-use skills that make your HR work faster and easier.

Special Note:  Our webinars are not recorded.  Additionally, for this webinar, no PowerPoint will be provided because this session is designed to be a hands-on opportunity for participants.

HR folks — this is fire (as the kids would say). We’ve previously covered ChatGPT, but Anthropic’s Claude takes AI to the next level… and you’re going to love it!

We’ll start with a quick overview of how to set up Claude. It’s a little — truly, just a little — more involved than setting up ChatGPT. Then, we’ll dive into our use cases, starting with a common one:

• Creating a chatbot that uses company information (e.g., the employee handbook, open enrollment guide, benefits SPDs, etc.) to answer questions and create materials.

Then, we’ll get into some really, really cool uses — including leveraging agentic AI:

• Creating an AI agent, specifically one that drafts responses to e-mails based on company information (i.e., the employee handbook, benefits information, etc.)
• Creating a chatbot for leaders to engage about classifying and writing (yup, actually writing) corrective action documents using the Company’s corrective action form.  For this, we show Claude material about the company so it can draft corrective actions that reflect the organization’s core values…even off of a photo of an issue.
• Use Claude to monitor the job boards of employment competitors.  Have it give you key information about jobs posted by targeted organizations.  Slick!
• Not for the faint of heart — using Claude to review someone’s online presence…  We’ll see what it finds on me.

This is an intro to next-level AI (Anthropic’s Claude) that will jump-start your productivity and help you add value to your organization. We’ll get your creative juices flowing and help you get comfortable playing with the software!

Wearing every hat in the office doesn’t leave much time to make sure your HR foundation is solid. This fast-paced session is a practical look at the key areas of managing HR at a smaller organization.

We’ll discuss:

• Compliance requirements for wage & hour and civil rights laws that often go overlooked for small employers
• Posting requirements, including where to find the documents
• Resources your insurance broker may (read: should) provide
• Strategies for recruiting and interviewing, including how to ask about salary expectations, employment history, availability, and other qualifications
• Policy/process best practices for separating employees
• A quick look at recruiting strategies proving more successful than the typical “Post and Pray” approach

This is a fast-paced overview of the key items for smaller organizations to consider as they do a year-end review their HR policies and practices.

Your handbook needs to keep pace with the changes coming for 2027 — and this year’s wave of regulatory and administrative changes makes that harder than usual. With new enforcement priorities emerging at both the federal and state levels, it’s easy for policies and handbook language to quietly fall out of step without anyone noticing until it becomes a problem.

This session breaks down any needed 2027 updates that matter most, and highlights the handbook pitfalls that are trending with employee complaints/litigation.

Topics include:

• Key 2027 policy updates employers should implement now
• New regulatory and agency enforcement priorities
• High-risk handbook pitfalls and how to avoid them
• Best practices for aligning policies with evolving workplace norms and technologies

Whether your handbook is due for a full overhaul or just a few key updates, this session will help you spot the gaps before they become liabilities.
