We couldn’t have asked for a better way to close out our final session of the year!

A huge thank you to Reanette Etzler, for joining us and sharing the IMPACT Framework and your perspective on what it means to intentionally shape the employee experience.

The room was filled with great questions, meaningful discussion, and thought-provoking takeaways about leadership, culture, accountability, and the role we all play in creating the employee experience.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, contributed to the conversation, and made our final session such a strong one.

And a special thank you to Reanette for challenging us to think differently about how we lead, how we measure impact, and how we connect the employee experience to business results.

A great conversation to end the year and plenty of ideas to carry forward into the next.

HR can create the best employee programs in the world. A bad manager can undo them by 9:15 Monday morning.

That’s the reality of employee experience.

HR can build the strategy, gather feedback, improve benefits, and create great programs. But employees experience your organization largely through the leaders they interact with every day.

That’s why "Driving the Employee Experience: Why Every Leader Is Already Behind the Wheel" is a conversation worth having.

We’re getting into the real stuff: leadership accountability, measurement, ROI, and how to make employee experience a business priority instead of another item on HR’s to-do list.

If you work in HR, manage people, or influence leaders, you’ll want to be in the room for this one.

Don’t just register yourself. Bring any leader that needs to be part of this conversation. Save your seats and start changing how your organization thinks about employee experience.

Struggling with disengagement, turnover, or a workplace culture that isn’t quite where you want it to be?

The employee experience is being shaped every day and leaders have more influence over it than they may realize.

Join us for Driving the Employee Experience: Why Every Leader Is Already Behind the Wheel, with Reanette Etzler and learn how to intentionally shape your culture, strengthen the employee experience, and connect your people strategy to measurable business results.

If you lead people, this is a conversation you need to be part of. Save your spot!

08/20/2026

Your culture is already telling a story about your organization. Is it the story you want people to tell?

Employee experience is being shaped every day, through leadership decisions, conversations, expectations, and the moments that tell employees what your organization truly values.

The question isn’t whether you’re creating an employee experience. It’s whether you’re creating it intentionally.

Join us for Driving the Employee Experience: Why Every Leader Is Already Behind the Wheel featuring Reanette Etzler, Founder of The Strategic HR Coach.

Designed for HR professionals, managers, executives, and anyone who leads people, this session will challenge you to think differently about culture, not as something that simply happens, but as something leaders can intentionally shape to strengthen both the employee experience and business results.

If you have a hand in leading people, you have a hand in shaping culture. Join us and discover how to make that impact intentional.

A big thank you to Colby Mattila for a great presentation on apprenticeships in the workplace! Colby shared valuable insights into how apprenticeship programs can help organizations develop talent, build skills, and create new pathways for employees.

Thank you as well to everyone who joined us and brought such thoughtful questions to the conversation. Your participation made the discussion even more valuable!

08/12/2026

What roles does your organization struggle to fill year after year?

Instead of starting with the job posting, what if you started with the skills you need and built a pathway for people to develop them?

That’s the conversation we’re having at our upcoming HRNNI event.

Colby Mattila will present Apprenticeships as a Hiring Strategy: What HR Should Know, where we’ll take a closer look at registered apprenticeships from an HR and workforce planning perspective.

And no, apprenticeships aren’t limited to construction or the skilled trades.

They can offer organizations another way to think about roles where qualified candidates are difficult to find, institutional knowledge is walking out the door, or traditional recruiting simply isn’t producing enough talent.

If you’ve ever said:

“Why can’t we find people with this experience?”
“We keep recruiting for the same positions.”
“We need a better way to develop employees internally.”
“How are we going to fill these roles in the next few years?”

This is a conversation worth being part of. Join us next week and come ready to challenge some assumptions about where your next generation of talent might come from.

08/05/2026

If your hiring strategy hasn't changed in the last five years, your talent pipeline probably hasn't either.

The competition for experienced talent isn't getting easier, and many organizations are realizing they can't rely on the same recruiting strategies to solve today's workforce challenges. Instead, they're asking a different question: How do we develop the workforce we need?

Join Apprenticeships as a Hiring Strategy: What HR Should Know with Colby Mattila to explore how registered apprenticeship programs are helping employers address skills gaps, strengthen recruitment, improve retention, and build sustainable talent pipelines across a wide range of industries, not just the skilled trades.

Whether you're an HR professional, talent acquisition leader, or business leader looking for new workforce solutions, this session will provide practical insights into a hiring strategy that is gaining momentum nationwide.

Come curious. Leave with ideas you can apply to your own workforce strategy.
