Conference Description

Workplace policies are so much more than a document. They’re a powerful statement of what an employer does and does not stand for, and (when implemented well) can play a big part in building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace. Join us at the Premier Park Hotel in Madison on February 19, 2025 for a networking reception and/or February 20, 2025 for our 2025 Workplace Policy Conference.

The future of work looks vastly different. Organizations that succeed at addressing the most critical aspects of work — acquiring and retaining critical talent, supporting all employees holistically, and confronting how they ethically collect and use employee data — will be able to differentiate themselves as employers of choice. Companies can position themselves for future success by designing robust future-of-workplace strategies that get ahead of these trends and address emerging challenges proactively. This conference is designed to give HR professionals the tools for success.

Sessions will be submitted for preapproval of recertification credits. Watch the WI SHRM website for updates on additional speakers and topics.
