HR Forums

Our forums give human resource professionals at Corporate and Partner member companies an opportunity to discuss best practices and network with their peers.

These meetings consist of a combination of roundtable discussions and guest speakers such as attorneys and HR consultants with expertise on the topic of interest. In addition, to help keep members connected between meetings, participants in each forum may request a brief (generally 3 - 5 questions) "Forum Survey" via email on various human resource topics of interest. A summary of each forum follows below.

Past topics include diversity and inclusion programs and best practices, mental health first aid, employment law updates, investigations, pay transparency/compensation issues, succession planning, COVID-19 update, remote work, and more.
