Optimize your California employment law update 

The beginning of the year can be tough for HR, but we’re here to help you live your best life. That’s why we created this guide for you to have the best PIHRA Legal Update experience. If you’ve decided it makes business sense to attend the PIHRA 2020 Legal Update, whether it’s to earn 6.0 recertification credits or learn from 14 top-notch law firms, this guide will help you set yourself up for learning success – starting with selecting the best seminar for yourself.

Tip #1 – Location Is Key

This part is easy. The best PIHRA Legal Update for you will likely be the closest location to you!

• Coachella Valley – Rancho Mirage – Wednesday, January 15 (Half-Day)
• Riverside County – Riverside – Wednesday, January 22
• San Diego County – La Jolla – Thursday, January 23
• Orange County – Anaheim – Tuesday, January 28
• Los Angeles County – Burbank – Thursday, January 30

Tip #2 – Pick Your Prime Day for the Best Seminar

Let’s face it, some days of the week are harder to get some time away the office — even for something as important as your California employment law update. That’s why we’ve scheduled our 2020 Legal Update seminars on three different days of the week, so that you can opt for the day that fits your schedule best!

Tip #3 – Optimize your sleep for the best day of learning.

A recent Gallup study shows that 40% of adults don’t get enough sleep. Surely HR doesn’t have that problem, right? …Just kidding. According to the National Sleep Foundation, a solid 7-9 hours is recommended each night. Prioritization is crucial to getting a full night’s sleep both the night before and after the PIHRA Legal Update so that your brain will be better equipped to commit the new information to your long term memory. Meanwhile, one helpful trick to reverse-engineer your sleep is to use a Sleep Calculator to determine the best time to hit the hay, and plan out your night in advance. This will help you protect your sleep schedule at all costs!

Tip #4 – Minimize stressful disruptions. Maximize peaceful mornings.

Did you know, it has been scientifically proven that your experience at the PIHRA 2020 Legal Update will be 3,000% better if you don’t have to slog through SoCal traffic first?

Your time — and frankly, your peace of mind — are worth a lot. Staying in a hotel steps away from the seminar so that your morning is fully streamlined and seamless is well worth the cost. Additionally, this easy access to the seminar will help you make the most of your day learning from Southern California’s top labor lawyers. This will help with that aforementioned sleep schedule, too!

Tip #5 – Scout out the speakers & sessions you want to attend.

Every organization has different risk areas, so you can use this information in advance to customize your agenda. Once our session titles are published, take time to read through them and prioritize the sessions and speakers that will best fit your needs. After that, you’ll have your perfect plan – and you can always supplement with our On Demand recordings (simply scroll down for that info!).

Tip #6 – Bring business cards (and a smile) to connect!

When preparing to attend a conference or seminar, business cards can be the last thing on your mind. Fortunately, we’ve all made that mistake before, so we’re not about to shame you. On the other hand, you never know who you’ll meet at PIHRA events! Will you sit next to the CHRO of Whole Foods? Or the VP of HR at Thrive Market? If we’re honest, nobody feels like a career superstar when scrawling their email address on a piece of scratch paper. Be prepared to meet some amazing California HR pros at all career levels, whether you’re hiring at your company or looking for a career move. That’s why having a stash of business cards handy will help you make the most of each interaction!

Tip #7 – Take notes, and keep the best resource – your handbook!

Okay, this tip is two in one. When you arrive at the PIHRA 2020 Legal Update, you’ll receive a handbook with printed slides, pages for notes, and your recertification credit information. This is a resource you will want to keep close to you, so that you’ll have the ease of access to crucial information presented. Furthermore, it has the HRCI and SHRM Program IDs so that you can log your recertification credit hours easily. TLDR; – use your handbook to take notes, and then, keep it!
