SEMINAR OPPORTUNITY >> From Gossip to Gaslighting
Leadership Lessons to Address Manipulation in the Workplace

When does workplace conflict become manipulation?

💬 An employee twists the facts.
🙊 A manager undermines someone behind the scenes.
👥 Coworkers form alliances and spread gossip.
❓ Someone keeps making a colleague question what they saw, heard or experienced.

These situations take more than traditional conflict-resolution skills.

Communication expert Alise Isbell, MABC, goes beyond the buzzwords to examine the behaviors and dysfunctional cycles that let manipulation thrive.

You’ll leave ready to:
✅ Recognize manipulation when you see it
✅ Understand what’s driving it
✅ Respond with productive strategies that help restore trust

Give yourself three hours to strengthen one of the toughest skills in HR: navigating the human dynamics behind workplace conflict.

📅 Tuesday, November 10 | 8:30 – 11:45 am (check-in at 8:00)

SEMINAR OPPORTUNITY >> Leaves of Absence & Accommodations Workshop

When an employee comes to HR, which rulebook do you open?

🔹 An employee needs time away from work.
🔹 Another needs a workplace accommodation.
🔹 A pregnant employee can no longer perform one part of her job.
🔹 A nursing employee needs time and a private space to pump.

FMLA? ADA? PWFA? PUMP? Or a combination?

Sometimes the hardest part is knowing which law applies.

Join Alexis C. Knapp, JD, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, Shareholder at Littler Mendelson, for two interactive days that take you beyond the acronyms and into the real situations HR handles every day.

You’ll dig into:
✅ Eligibility and documentation
✅ Accommodations and the interactive process
✅ Leave abuse and return-to-work issues
✅ Overlapping laws
✅ PUMP Act compliance, because pregnancy and postpartum obligations don’t end with the PWFA

Bring your questions. Bring the scenarios that make you stop and think. Leave ready for the next one.

📅 December 1–2, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
📍 Meetings On Pointe Training Center, 2550 North Loop W., Ste. 350, Houston

A full day of HR strategy for $249. Seriously.

For $249, you could attend another webinar, buy a few business books, or take your team to lunch.

Or you could spend an entire day becoming a more strategic HR leader.

The HR Strategies Summit gives HR professionals something we rarely get: time to step out of the day-to-day and focus on the bigger picture. That means strong speakers, relevant topics, and practical ideas you can put to work right away.

One day. One room. Great content. Real takeaways.

📅 Tuesday, November 3 | 8:00 am – 4:30 pm (check-in at 7:30)
📍 Meetings On Pointe Training Center, 2550 North Loop W., Ste. 350, Houston
🎟️ $249 | 5 Learning Sessions + 2 Panels | Limited to 60 attendees

If you’ve been on the fence about whether it’s worth a day away from the office, take another look at the agenda. We think the answer will be pretty clear.

Technical HR knowledge will only take you so far.

As your career grows, you’re expected to command the room, negotiate with confidence, navigate conflict, tie HR to business results, and make the tough calls when the answer isn’t black and white.

That’s exactly what the HR Strategies Summit is built for.

📅 Tuesday, November 3 | 8:00 am – 4:30 pm
📍 Meetings On Pointe Training Center, Houston
🎟️ $249 | Limited to 60 attendees

You’ll learn from:

Njsane Courtney (ABS): Building Executive Presence
Tracy Frazier (UH C.T. Bauer College of Business): Negotiating Like It’s Your Job
Brandon Caldwell (CSE Electric): Powering Through Conflict
Joanna Lacey (Stellar Bank): Elevating Learning’s Business Impact
Mitch Beckman, CHRO of Webber: Leading with Courage, Integrity and Humanity

Plus a candid panel on AI in HR to open the day, and senior HR leaders sharing what’s ahead for the profession to close it.

Invest in where your HR career is going, not just where it is today. Seats are capped, so don’t wait.

WEBINAR OPPORTUNITY >> Creating the Ideal 401(k) Plan
October 22, 2026 I 11:00 am - 12:00 pm I 1 credit hour

Low Participation? Confused Employees? Your 401(k) Plan Might be the Issue

If your employees aren’t fully engaging with your 401(k) plan, you’re not alone.

Common challenges we hear from HR leaders:
• “Employees don’t understand the plan”
• “Participation rates are lower than we’d like”
• “We’re not sure how to measure success”

The good news? These challenges are solvable.

In Creating the Ideal 401(k) Plan, you’ll learn:
• How to identify gaps in your current plan
• What drives employee engagement and participation
• Simple, data-backed strategies to improve outcomes

This session will be led by Chen-Han Wang of Fisher/SMB, who works closely with organizations to improve plan performance and participant outcomes.

Let’s make your plan work better for everyone.

Special Note: As a benefit of membership, active HR Houston members receive this webinar complimentary. Registration is required.
