Yes And! Positively Approaching Human Resources

In this highly interactive workshop, we explore the ideas and philosophies of improv and learn how to apply these skills at work to enhance communication skills, build relationships and create a more positive workforce.  Together we participate in a series of exercises to emphasize listening, express vulnerability and empathy, and further develop other essential leadership skills in the human resources profession.

“The Power of Authentic Questions: Making 2025 a Truly Awe-Full Year”

Why should we talk about questions?

During this presentation, HR Leaders will be able to benchmark their organizations' hiring plans with data collected by LaSalle Network from hundreds of other business executives. You will learn how businesses are incorporating AI into the hiring process, the hiring challenges companies are facing, as well as how they are overcoming them, and how leaders are approaching staff retention in this new age of work.

Illinois Fox Valley SHRM and the Elgin Area Chamber of Commerce are pleased to present our semi-annual Employment Law Update by Jeff Risch, Co-Chair Labor & Employment Amundsen Davis, LLC.  www.LaborandEmploymentLawUpdate.com

Topics to be covered include:

From 2020 to 2023 there were almost 2,000 mass shootings in the US, many in the workplace. With the Henry Pratt, Uvalde and Highland Park shootings fresh in our memories, our role as HR professionals has become critical in guiding the organization to prepare for the worst.

U.S. economy continues to maintain a strong pace of job growth heading into 2023. With a tight labor market spurring competition for workers at all levels and from all industries, the number of job postings remains above 10 million. The unemployment rate for the Chicago metro area is 4.7 and is still higher than the national rate of 3.6%. 

Enjoy some time with fellow ILFVSHRM members with a fun night out at Pinot's Palette in St. Charles.  Each member will receive 2 drinks and painting supplies.  Snacks will also be available.

Registration has closed for this event.  

Imagine you are working your way through the online 160-question Society for Human Resource Management’s SHRM certification exam. After almost 4 hours, you finish and hit the “submit exam” button. The system takes a few minutes to calculate the results and to your great relief, the word “Passed” appears. Congratulations, your hard work over the last 3 months has paid off.

This meeting has been udpated to online only.

Converting virtual learning into virtual training may seem straight-forward, yet for many, it’s not working.  Modern workers want personalized, interesting learning that motivates them to take action, experiment and apply, with access anytime, anywhere, on any device.  Methods like gamification, micro-learning and social community keep learners engaged and works well for soft skills, training and OD interventions.
