Where: Barrel Room at Left Foot Charley, Traverse City

We’ve all heard it: That little voice telling us to shut down at night. Put your technology away it says. Be with your family it screams. Let’s be real! In today’s demanding environment, workplace balance seems like a good concept in theory, but is it really achievable? As HR professionals, we strive to help our employees experience a healthy state of job satisfaction, time off and growth. We recommend policies that will attract the best talent and retain our tenured staff, but oftentimes we are met with some form of skepticism or internal resistance as we propose our ideas. During this session, we will seek to focus on the following areas:

• Find and use data to support PTO policies, leave changes, expanded time off, and corporate gatherings. Track, measure, and benchmark key metrics.
• Help your leadership team walk the walk through training on communication, management styles, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• Identify flexible mental health initiatives that speak to both your employee and their families.
