In the wake of COVID-19, 2021 brought us the Great Resignation with record-levels of employee turnover. As many businesses re-open, the transition back into the office has not been simple, especially since employees have new expectations around remote work. And now, with the Omicron variant sweeping through the U.S., many of us are still dealing with quarantines, closures, and vaccine requirements.

 
While navigating these challenges has been far from easy, know that you are not alone. PIHRA is more than an association, we are a human resources community dedicated to helping one another. At PIHRA, our mission is to serve you—to provide you with the training, connections, and resources you need to tackle today’s problems.

 
If you find yourself struggling with a tough HR problem, we invite you to make it your New Year’s resolution to reach out and ask for help. You are always welcome to contact the PIHRA Home Office or reach out to your local chapter for assistance.

 
As we look ahead with optimism at 2022, we have a few exciting updates regarding upcoming PIHRA events and resources.

California Employment Law Update Now in October

The 2022 California Employment Law Update (CELU) will take place in October to coincide with the California legislative session. This timing provides the most up-to-date information that impacts your job in the coming year.
 

Registration for CELU is expected to open in August. Until then, we invite you to review the session summaries from the 2021 California Employment Law Update to get a sense of what to expect from the event.
