Experienced California employment law attorneys will present important court cases from recent months and new laws and educate attendees about how the changes in California and federal laws will affect your organization and your decisions. Session topics included wage and hour, PAGA, EEOC, discrimination, FMLA/CFRA, AI in the workplace, social media, and workplace safety. Find out more and register at pihra.org/celu.

This is a fantastic opportunity for HR professionals to build the skills they need to be successful in their organization and beyond. There are workshops and educational sessions in twelve learning tracks, including California Employment Law, DEI, HR Department of One, HR Tech, Workplace Culture and Leadership, and Personal Growth. You can customize your conference experience to get the most out of your continuing education and recertification. You’ll also build a strong community by meeting hundreds of fellow HR professionals, subject matter experts, attorneys, and partners, who can provide you with ideas and help you learn innovative HR tools, technology, and trends.
