What is Gen Z? Sometimes known as Zoomers, this peer group encompasses people born approximately between 1996 and 2012. Gen Z accounts for about 26% of the world population.

Sandwiched between Generation Y (or millennials) and Generation Alpha, this educated generation is tech-savvy, as they grew up in an interconnected digital world. Significant global events have shaped Gen Z’s formative years: The 2008 recession and its aftermath, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. Experiencing such social and economic disruption, and in some cases, being let go just as they began their careers, has led Gen Z to have a different relationship with work than previous generations.

During this engaging session, you'll discover:

• Actionable Gen Z Insights
• Gen Z top priorities
• The Unique Job Search Challenges Gen Z is facing
• How to attract and engage with them

Come learn how to grow as an HR partner by building credibility with leaders and making a real impact in influencing change. 

With 25 years of practicing HR on the front lines, trying things out, and learning the hard way, Jeff will share five areas HRBPs / professionals should focus their development on to build credibility and trust with leaders. He'll share his insights on how to effectively influence change on the people side of their business. Sharing stories from his own experiences and from watching others grow into first class HR partners, this session will inspire you to think deeply about your growth as a Leader in HR.  

As a leader, you play a pivotal role in shaping a proactive, mentally healthy workplace — one where every team member is empowered to contribute to a supportive, safe, inclusive culture.

This session equips leaders with the tools and strategies needed to confidently address mental health concerns within their teams. We’ll tackle vital topics like breaking the stigma, setting clear and healthy boundaries, understanding your legal responsibilities, and creating an open-door culture where employees feel safe discussing their mental health. We’ll also highlight the critical link between psychological health and overall workplace safety. Leaders will leave this training feeling confident in their ability to lead by example, offer meaningful support and build a psychologically safe environment where mental wellness is a priority.

Let’s be real: HR isn’t swamped because there’s too much work. It’s swamped because we’re still doing way too much of it manually. If you're still screening resumes with spreadsheets, formatting job postings like it’s 2006, or writing policies from scratch — that’s not “busy,” that’s avoidable.

In this session, we’re cutting through the hype and the fears. We’ll talk about what parts of HR are already being automated (yep, right now), what’s safe (for now), and what’s on the chopping block over the next 2–3 years. We’ll also discuss why HR is behind the curve compared to departments like Sales, Marketing, and Operations. 

But this isn’t about replacing people. It’s about using AI to actually do the things we always say we want to do: be more human, more strategic, more fair, and way less bogged down in admin hell.
