This annual conference is targeted at the volunteer Board Members of our WI SHRM Chapters. The focus of this conference is to offer attendees a chance to network and learn best practices that will help them strengthen the work of their Local SHRM Chapter. Each year this session offers a deeper understanding of how SHRM, the WI State SHRM Council and Chapters support the HR professional. Areas of focus may include workforce readiness, certification, diversity, governmental affairs, membership, special state wide projects and many more. This conference also provides several sessions that provide professional growth opportunities for this group of volunteer leaders.
Each year as HR professionals we strive to stay on top of the forever changing employment law landscape in the state of WI and at the National level. The Workplace Policy Conference is rebranded from the Day on the Hill. It strives to provide us with the latest trends and changes in employment laws and ever-changing policies.
