THE HR TOPICS YOU NEED
Immigration - What to Do When I.C.E. Shows Up - October 2025
Whether you have undocumented employees on staff or not, in this political environment, it’s worth it to know what to do. Compared it to having OSHA show up, you need to know what you can and can’t do, as well as what you SHOULD do.
Workers Compensation Update - November 2025
A few years ago we had two workers comp experts from Spectrum Insurance talk with our groups – and it was very well received! So, let’s do an encore with them! Trey Hansel, their Workers Comp Claims Advocate expert will discuss a few WC basics, and then get into the details – what YOU in HR need to know to get the best outcomes for your employees and your organization when it comes to complex workers comp cases.
Performance Review & Compensation Administration - December 2025
The details of how you administer these two critically intertwined HR processes are very complex, impactful to your employees, and VERY easily misinterpreted by both managers and employees. Let’s take an inventory of what we all do, and review recent research on the pros and cons of our approaches.
Stay vs. Exit Interviews - January 2026
Is there a place for both of these in your organization? Let’s look at the research on some common practices with these processes and discuss the pros and cons. We will also take an inventory of what everyone is doing and their experiences with both.
Pharmacy Benefits Management - February 2026
Similar to our session last year on insured benefits, we will delve deeper into the very specific arena of pharmacy benefits for your employees. This is a rapidly changing and complex topic, especially with the trend toward including new weight loss drugs. Matt Tubbin from Ansay Associates will again be our guest presenter.
Cybersecurity & Artificial Intelligence in HR - March 2026
Our guest presenter, Jeff Anger, a senior manager at Wipfli in this important area, will bring us up to date on what is happening in the whirlwind of ever-changing developments in both of these arenas. We will also discuss how each of you are using AI technology so far in HR, and review your best and not-so-great experiences.
Employee Appearance - April 2026
This “appears” to be a rather innocuous topic, but it comes up over and over in our discussions every year, so let’s address it! From dress codes to tattoos and hygiene, and from free speech to customer preferences, how your employees present themselves when they come to work MATTERS. And HR often gets stuck in the middle with developing and enforcing policy. Be prepared to share your organization’s policies!
Legal Update - May 2026
This has been an annual occurrence for all the years our peer groups have been meeting! YOU help determine the topics and the employment law experts at Weld Riley SC prepare information on current case law and things to look out for in the political arena.
