HR Crossroads: 2026 Labor Law Updates and the Future of Human‑Center AI

Info: A California labor law update is a chance for business leaders to get ahead of the regulatory curve, and this session delivers exactly that. Led by Bill Betley a seasoned labor law attorney, the program distills the year’s most significant legislative changes, court decisions, and enforcement trends into clear, actionable guidance. Attendees will gain a sharper understanding of evolving wage and hour rules, workplace safety obligations, leave laws, and compliance risks that directly affect day to day operations.

Info: In 2026, HR teams are dealing with a new kind of volume. More applications. More templates. More “perfect” resumes that all sound the same.
The advantage isn’t the platform you buy. It’s the clarity and care you bring to the process.
In Humboldt County, HR still runs on relationships and reputation. That’s a strength—not a limitation. In this session, we’ll look at practical ways to use AI as supporting infrastructure so you can move faster and make better human decisions: fairer screening, clearer communication, and more consistent employee development—without turning people into tickets.
