It’s only July, but 2025 has already been…a lot. From shifting priorities to new demands on HR teams, we’ve seen just how quickly the rules change and how crucial it is to lead with clarity when budget season arrives.
Join John Baldino and Robin Schooling for a candid mid-year check-in on what’s happening in HR right now and how to turn that into a stronger, smarter case for what you need in 2026.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
-
Decode 2025’s HR Landscape: Identify and interpret the most impactful legal, compliance and technological trends affecting your organization.
-
Design a Mid-Year Planning Framework: Build a strategic action plan that bridges today’s insights with your 2026 goals for workforce, technology and process enhancements.
-
Craft a Compelling Investment Case: Articulate the business value of HR initiatives and present data-driven proposals that secure stakeholder buy-in for headcount and technology resources.
Expect sharp insights, real-world examples, and a few laughs—because this work is serious, but we don’t have to take ourselves too seriously.
Attendees will receive 1 SHRM and 1 HRCI recertification credit for participating.
If you can't make the live session, we'll send you the recording and worksheet after the session ends. You must attend the live session for credit.
