Presentations
Opening Keynote: Ethics, Antitrust and Whistleblowing
Christine V. Walters, J.D.,MAS, SHRM-SCP, SPHR
FiveL Company
On June 21st, it was reported that three drivers filed a lawsuit alleging Uber and Lyft violated state anti-trust laws by colluding to fix wages they pay drivers, who are independent contractors. The lawsuit seeks class action status.
In a letter dated April 27th, 12 trade, industry, professional and other groups and associations sent a letter to members of Congress expressing concerns about four anti-trust bills.
In March, the U.S. Department of the Treasury published the 68-page, “The State of Labor Market Competition.”
That was promptly followed by U.S. Department of Labor and Department of Justice announcing a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) “to protect workers from employer collusion, ensure compliance with the labor laws and promote competitive labor markets and worker mobility.” That included the “inappropriate” use of non-compete agreements.
Join this interactive program as we review the latest trends and proactive practices for recruiting and retaining top talent in this competitive labor market while avoiding actual as well as perceived violations.

A Tale of Walking the Journey: Bridging Diversity, Inclusion, Equity & Culture
Joyce Weru, SPHR, PCC
President & CEO of Rise Above Coaching
Where do we begin to explore whether our organization has the ability to meet diversity, inclusion, and cultural challenges? – Does the difference impact how our teams or organization is able to solve problems, resolve conflicts, provide leadership, facilitate team productivity, or impart knowledge skills to others.
Diversity goals in an organization are usually assessed by looking at representation, hiring, professional development, terminations, and other quantitative demographic metrics. One of the gaps in accepting DEI is that how we experience the world and act in it is shaped by what we learn and internalize from the groups we belong to. Therefore, a framework of Diversity and Inclusion – what bridges these two concepts – is intercultural Competence. Intercultural Competence is about making a diverse environment an inclusive one, and Intercultural Competence is the how-to achieve integration.
In the profession of Human Resources, an exploration on how we can begin to have shared meaning around ‘core concepts’ (1) Culture (2) Diversity, inclusion, and (3) Intercultural Competence Is important in grounding and moving the needle in DEI.

Soft Skills: Anything but Soft
Erica Young, MPS, SHRM-SCP
Enterprise Solutions Architect
The pandemic has led to unprecedented change in the way we live, work, and do business. In 2020, SHRM research indicated that 85% of businesses made business practice adjustments due to the pandemic. These business practice adjustments had ripple effects on the way we hire, engage, and retain employees. Organizations are putting a premium on soft skills, and most importantly—the role empathy plays in business and leadership.
This session will identify the most in-need soft skills and how organizations can start to train for soft skills, such that the organization becomes more empathetic and capable.

Invisible Ink: The Psychological Contract and the Employee Experience
Within the words “written” in invisible ink are important agreements between the employer and the employee that shape the relationship, thus affecting employee experience, productivity, satisfaction, and several other important metrics. If you work in HR–or if you manage people–you’ve entered a contract that is in effect from day one of the employment association. This contract is not written, and it cannot be seen, signed, or notarized. In this presentation we will discuss the concept of the psychological contract at work and explore the (often forgotten and misunderstood) exchange relationship that has a myriad of impacts from both the employee and employer viewpoints. Armed with different insights into the “whys” of employee behavior and reactions, you’ll leave this session with an action plan to assist managers in building awareness, and you’ll become familiar with the effect the psychological contract has on the workplace and the people in it!
