Expert Guidance Leads to Success! 

Getting certified through HRCI demonstrates your commitment as an HR professional, distinguishes you as an expert in the HR field, with proven levels of skills and knowledge, and the competence necessary to mitigate risks and drive business results. 
 
A certification through HRCI is fully accredited through the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) requiring rigorous standards. It earns recognition and credibility from your peers, validates your experience, connects you to other HR professionals around the globe and welcomes you into the largest HR certification in the world. Additionally, no matter what level you are, HRCI has a suite of proven credentials that can be aligned with your level of experience.
 
<h4>Description:</h4>
<a href="https://www.hrci.org/our-programs/our-certifications/phr" target="_blank">PHR</a> – Advance your HR career by earning the Professional in Human Resources® (PHR®) from HRCI®. The PHR demonstrates your mastery of the technical and operational aspects of HR management, including U.S. laws and regulations. The PHR is for the HR professional who has experience with program implementation, has a tactical/logistical orientation, is accountable to another HR professional within the organization, and has responsibilities that focus on the HR department rather than the whole organization. To be eligible for the PHR you must meet one of the following conditions for education and/or experience:<ul><li>Have at least one year of experience in a professional-level HR position + a Master’s degree or higher,</li><li>Have at least two years of experience in a professional-level HR position + a Bachelor’s degree, OR</li><li>Have at least four years of experience in a professional-level HR position.</li></ul>

The SPHR demonstrates your mastery of the strategic and policy-making aspects of HR management as practiced in the U.S. The credential is designed for big-picture thinkers responsible for planning rather than implementing HR policy.

<description><![CDATA[<h4 style="text-align: center;">PIHRA North OC In-Person Meeting</h4><h3 style="text-align: center;">Working from Home: What Could Go Wrong? </h3><h2 style="text-align: center;">presented by James J. McDonald, Jr.</h2> The COVID-19 pandemic forced many employees to work from home, and many of them liked it! In today’s labor market, providing flexibility with regard to remote work might be essential toward hiring and retaining the best employees. Employers must be prepared to address employee requests for ongoing remote work. Remote work can produce a variety of employment law headaches for employers, however, including productivity issues, wage and hour liability, meal and rest break compliance problems, workers’ compensation injuries, and discrimination claims relating to who may work remotely and who may not. Some employees requesting remote work cast their requests in terms of a reasonable accommodation, but not all such arrangements qualify. Employers who permit remote work should have a comprehensive policy and agreement covering all aspects of the working arrangements. This presentation will cover all of these issues and provide some guidance for HR professionals on where to draw the line. Learning Objectives:<ol><li>Learn how to ensure that employees working remotely will remain productive.</li><li>Learn the potential sources of legal exposure from remote work.</li><li>Learn when remote work must be allowed as a reasonable accommodation.</li></ol> <h4>Program Agenda</h4>7:15am – 8:00am | Networking and breakfast 8:00am – 8:15am | Welcome, chapter updates 8:15am – 9:15am | Program 9:15am – 9:30am | Closing remarks and Q & A <h4>Speaker</h4><img alt="" src="https://www.mypihra.org/resource/resmgr/images/speaker_headshots_5/james_mcdonald.jpg" style="width: 300px; height: 256px; float: left; margin: 10px;" />     James J.

<description><![CDATA[<h4 style="text-align: center;">PIHRA Temecula Valley In-Person Meeting</h4><h3 style="text-align: center;">Embedding DEI in the Employee Lifecycle </h3><h2 style="text-align: center;">presented by Joyce Chiao</h2> From recruitment to retention, designing an organization where all employees can thrive requires a strategic embedding of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into the employee lifecycle. Many organizations understand the importance of this effort, yet many also struggle to know where to begin. Others have begun these efforts eagerly in recent years, only to roll back after struggling to sustain lasting outcomes. For organizational leaders committed to creating diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces, this talk explores the foundational principles at the root of a DEI-centered employee lifecycle. Attendees are invited to follow along with each stage of the lifecycle from the perspective of the employee experience. Along the way, attendees will examine the inequities often embedded in the process and identify concrete strategies for redesigning the employee experience using key principles.  <h4>Program Agenda</h4>11:30am - 11:45am | Registration 11:45am - 12:00pm | Welcome & Introductions 12:00pm - 1:00pm | Speaker Presentation 1:00pm - 1:30pm | Networking <h4>Speaker</h4> <img alt="" src="https://www.mypihra.org/resource/resmgr/images/speaker_headshots_4/joyce_chiao.png" style="width: 225px; height: 282px; float: left; margin: 10px;" /> Joyce Chiao, CEO, Abundance Joyce Chiao is the CEO of Abundance, where she designs diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategy as a consultant, facilitator, speaker, and writer.

Watts</h2> SB 553 now requires almost every employer in California to create a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP) which requires creating a plan with your employees, evaluating and correcting workplace violence hazards, training employees and supervisors on workplace violence matters, creating and maintaining a violent incident log, and maintaining records of all training and violent workplace incidents. This program is designed to discuss various legal questions and issues that have arisen as employers operationalize the plan that they (hopefully!) implemented on July 1, including the ongoing need to involve their employees in developing the plan and training, coordinating the plan among multiple employers, conducting inspections to evaluate and correct hazards, the various actions that must be taken in response to a violent incident and possible OSHA enforcement action.

More than affecting productivity, we're interested in how we can genuinely support your company's employees in a practical and cost-effective manner. Research shows a strong correlation between employee support and long-term commitment to employers. Despite this, many benefits are often underused due to lack of employee understanding, awareness and associated stigma. In this session, our focus narrows down on key drivers of absences, alongside the common challenges businesses face when managing benefits. We'll unravel valuable data and practical solutions as we combat this mental health crisis together, enabling you to present to your leadership team an efficient strategy that saves time, costs, and enhances productivity by:<ol><li>Strengthening mental health support.</li><li>Bettering caregiving approaches.</li><li>Improving care for women’s health needs.</li><li>Enhancing digestive health management.</li><li>Proactively and effectively handling chronic pain. </li></ol>We'll demonstrate how these pain points can be tackled with proactive engagement methods and an interconnected employee experience that allows easy access to a suite of solutions, decreasing the administrative load.

We are excited to announce that as part of our sponsorship, we will be hosting an exciting raffle, with the chance to win amazing prizes!  <h4>Program Agenda</h4>11:30am - 11:45am | Registration, 11:45am - 12:00pm | Welcome, 12:00pm - 1:30pm | Speaker <h4>Speaker</h4><img alt="" src="https://www.mypihra.org/resource/resmgr/images/speaker_headshots_5/amanda_neely.jpg" style="width: 250px; height: 286px; float: left; margin: 10px;" />  Amanda Neely, PHR, SHRM-CP, Head of Business Development, Unum Digital Solutions Amanda Neely, with her impressive 12+ years of experience in the HR, benefits, and SaaS industry, is a devoted and creative strategist known for delivering innovative solutions that address clients and stakeholders' needs.

</h4>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">From Burnout to Brilliance: Transforming Work Culture Through Energy Management </h3>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">presented by Cecilia Gorman</h2>
 
The past few years have presented unprecedented challenges, with remote work and physical disconnection leading to a noticeable decline in human connection and shared enthusiasm. It’s becoming increasingly evident that to make a meaningful impact at work, cultivating a high-energy atmosphere is not just beneficial—it’s imperative.
Drawing upon real-world examples and cutting-edge research, this session digs into the connection among employee interaction, engagement, and energy. There’s a special emphasis on training environments, where the level of participant energy is a critical determinant of learning effectiveness and knowledge retention. Without a palpable sense of energy and motivation, participants are likely to leave feeling uninspired and unprepared to apply what they’ve learned. Conversely, when the energy is right, the learning environment transforms, leading to heightened engagement, deeper understanding, and a readiness to put new skills into practice. Key Takeaways:

<ol>
<li>The Contagious Power of Energy: Discover how energy acts as a silent communicator within your teams, influencing moods, engagement levels, and overall productivity. Learn strategies to foster a positive energy flow, creating a ripple effect that uplifts the entire team and transforms the workplace atmosphere.
</li>
<li>Mastering Your Energy State: Equip yourself with practical tools and techniques to manage and boost your own energy levels, ensuring that you are always bringing your best self to work. Understand the science of energy management and learn how to navigate days when your energy might be lagging, turning potential setbacks into opportunities for growth and connection.
</li>
<li>Reducing Friction, Amplifying Energy: Uncover tips and tools designed to lessen daily friction, paving the way for a smoother, more harmonious work environment. Learn how creating space for energy to flow freely can lead to enhanced productivity, stronger collaboration, and a palpable sense of engagement and satisfaction among employees. 
</li>
</ol>
By the end of this talk, attendees will be equipped with a comprehensive understanding of the pivotal role that energy plays in employee engagement, along with a toolkit of strategies to harness this power for the benefit of their teams and organizations. Join us in unlocking the secrets of the Engagement Dynamo, and transform your workplace into a hub of energy, enthusiasm, and unparalleled productivity.

Expert Guidance Leads to Success! 

Getting certified through HRCI demonstrates your commitment as an HR professional, distinguishes you as an expert in the HR field, with proven levels of skills and knowledge, and the competence necessary to mitigate risks and drive business results. 
 
A certification through HRCI is fully accredited through the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) requiring rigorous standards. It earns recognition and credibility from your peers, validates your experience, connects you to other HR professionals around the globe and welcomes you into the largest HR certification in the world. Additionally, no matter what level you are, HRCI has a suite of proven credentials that can be aligned with your level of experience.
 
<h4>Description:</h4>
<a href="https://www.hrci.org/our-programs/our-certifications/phr" target="_blank">PHR</a> – Advance your HR career by earning the Professional in Human Resources® (PHR®) from HRCI®. The PHR demonstrates your mastery of the technical and operational aspects of HR management, including U.S. laws and regulations. The PHR is for the HR professional who has experience with program implementation, has a tactical/logistical orientation, is accountable to another HR professional within the organization, and has responsibilities that focus on the HR department rather than the whole organization. To be eligible for the PHR you must meet one of the following conditions for education and/or experience:<ul><li>Have at least one year of experience in a professional-level HR position + a Master’s degree or higher,</li><li>Have at least two years of experience in a professional-level HR position + a Bachelor’s degree, OR</li><li>Have at least four years of experience in a professional-level HR position.</li></ul>
<a href="https://www.hrci.org/our-programs/our-certifications/sphr" target="_blank">SPHR</a> - Showcase the HR leadership recognition you deserve with the Senior Professional in Human Resources® (SPHR®) from HRCI®. The SPHR demonstrates your mastery of the strategic and policy-making aspects of HR management as practiced in the U.S. The credential is designed for big-picture thinkers responsible for planning rather than implementing HR policy. Organizations seek out SPHR professionals for their proven accountability for HR department goals, for breadth and depth of knowledge in all HR disciplines, and for understanding business issues beyond the HR function. To be eligible for the SPHR you must meet one of the following conditions for education and/or experience:<ul><li>Have at least four years of experience in a professional-level HR position + a Master’s degree or higher,</li><li>Have at least five years of experience in a professional-level HR position + a Bachelor’s degree, OR</li><li>Have at least seven years of experience in a professional-level HR position.

Recent weeks have seen significant shifts in the workforce, with prominent tech companies such as Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, TikTok, and Salesforce collectively letting go of approximately 25,000 employees.

In this dynamic scenario, employees find themselves at a crossroads where positions are evolving, some being eliminated, others redesigned, all demanding a higher level of competency and skills. To navigate this transformative period, individuals must be prepared for reskilling or upskilling. Our session will delve into the four (4) critical aspects including:<ol><li>Understanding the benefits of these strategies</li><li>Fostering mindfulness in diverse groups</li><li>Utilizing valid assessment instruments for employee behaviors</li><li>Implementing intentional learning and development programs. </li></ol>Join us for an insightful exploration into shaping a future-ready workforce.  <h4>Program Agenda</h4>11:30am - 11:45am | Registration 11:45am - 12:00pm | Welcome & Introductions 12:00pm - 1:00pm | Speaker Presentation 1:00pm - 1:30pm | Networking <h4>Speaker</h4><img alt="" src="https://www.mypihra.org/resource/resmgr/images/speaker_headshots_4/tiana_sanchez.jpg" style="width: 250px; height: 252px; float: left; margin: 10px;" />Tiana Sanchez; CEO at TSI, LLC Meet Tiana Sanchez, the unstoppable force behind TSI LLC – a talent and development powerhouse.

Learn what constitutes retaliation and walk away with tips and tools on how to prevent these tricky, and often complex claims. Key Learning Points:<ol><li>Understand what retaliation is under state and federal law.</li><li>Learn about having a legitimate business need for your employment actions.</li><li>How to ensure your managers understand their role in preventing retaliation complaints.
