Meeting

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.  

Illinois Fox Valley SHRM and the Elgin Area Chamber of Commerce are pleased to present an Employment Law Update by Mike Wong, Partner with the law firm SmithAmundsen, LLC.

Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Health and Wellbeing are crucial components of every human’s life. We bring our whole self into the workplace every day. We all need support in each of these areas to live and to thrive. When we are limited access, underserved, unaware, or unable to address these very necessary needs, we are left with desperate survival modes. The greater access, support, and education we can provide, the more likely we can create a lasting Wellness in the Workplace. 

Human Resource practitioners and managers are navigating increasingly difficult employee relations issues.  Given the complexities of today’s legal, social, business and moral imperatives for diversity awareness training, having the skill to conduct difficult conversations in a neutral way is more necessary than ever before. Communication skills training is a key element of DEI initiatives and will contribute to a person’s professional development.
