Austin SHRM Monthly Meeting (Wed, April 15, 2026)

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 12:45:00 GMT

Overview:

Uncertainty, rapid change, and constant pressure are now part of everyday leadership. This session helps leaders remain effective when situations feel chaotic and the plan keeps changing. Participants learn how to replace reactive, panic-driven responses with calm, focused leadership that creates clarity, confidence, and forward momentum, even in the middle of the mess.

Key Takeaways:

Shift from reaction to intentional decision-making under pressure
Create clarity and focus when everything feels urgent
Lead forward confidently without waiting for perfect information

Legal Hot Topic: Brian Levy

"Independent Contractor or Employee? The Misclassification Traps That Cost Employers Millions."

Synopsis: Think the new DOL rule makes independent contractor classification safer? Think again. While federal enforcement may be shifting, courts and plaintiffs’ attorneys continue to apply rigorous standards that expose employers to significant liability. This session provides a practical roadmap for HR professionals to identify misclassification risks, understand where companies get it wrong, and take proactive steps to reduce exposure before it becomes a lawsuit.

What are participants saying about Stepping Stones to Enhanced Leadership?

"Through the Austin SHRM Stepping Stones Leadership Program, I received a much needed reminder on the of the art of inspiring, guiding, and shaping the future of HR in my workplace and specifically on my wonderful team. It allowed me the opportunity to learn a bit more about myself, things I do well and things I can focus on. It reinvigorated my commitment to nurturing a thriving, people-centric, inclusive culture. I am thankful I was able to meet so many HR peers in the Austin area, hear their diverse perspectives, and even discuss similar obstacles we face as HR professionals. The instructors were all amazing, kind, committed and very knowledgeable. They tailored their teachings to focus on areas of interest as well as ensure they answered our questions. It was a great program, and I would highly recommend. Thank you, Austin SHRM, for continuing to invest in the HR leaders of today and those to come."
