EVENT RECAP & RESOURCES
April 10, 2019 | Volcom Skatepark, Costa Mesa
Thank you to everyone who attended the #RealHR–OC on April 10th at Volcom Headquarters. The topic, Don’t Fear the Deep End of the Talent Pool, was well received and was attended by a SOLD OUT crowd of nearly 170 PIHRA members and sponsors.
Our expert panelists provided such a wealth of information that we created this page to provide all of the resources to you. Please be sure to share this resource page with your fellow HR professionals and the community at large!
#RealHR OC Panelist Testimonial
The PIHRA #RealHR-OC event, Don’t Fear the Deep End of the Talent Pool, exceeded my expectations as a panelist. As an HR professional, I will be the first to admit that it has been difficult to advocate for applicants that do not meet what some consider standard role requirements. I have been challenged throughout my career to think outside of the box and to recognize any biases that may create obstacles for diverse applicants that have unusual circumstances.
During the event, I was proud to see a standing room only room full of fellow HR professionals willing to tackle stigmas and societal norms that have created barriers for applicants deserving a second chance. The positive response from my Orange County HR colleagues and their willingness to get real talent back to work reminded me of why I became an HR professional. Thank you again PIHRA for providing a platform to discuss such a bold topic!
