The workplace is changing fast — from artificial intelligence and evolving compliance requirements to employee retention, leadership development, workplace culture, and the changing expectations of today's workforce.
In this episode, we're joined by from Kern County SHRM to talk about the organization and preview one of Kern County's largest professional development events of the year: the 2026 Saddle Up for Success Conference, happening October 7th.
We talk about what employers and HR professionals are facing right now, how AI is beginning to change human resources, the importance of building strong workplace cultures, and what attendees can expect from this year's conference.
We also get a preview of keynote speaker Devin Henderson, the conference's new morning Fireside Chat, educational sessions, networking opportunities, exhibitors, professional development opportunities, and the annual KC SHRM mixer.
Whether you're an HR professional, business owner, executive, manager, supervisor, or emerging professional, this episode explains why understanding the people side of business has never been more important.
