2026 SAIS Annual Conference

HR compliance/employee relations does not have to be tricky. This interactive workshop takes you beyond theory and into the real world of workplace compliance challenges. Through engaging scenarios and group discussions, you'll tackle the kinds of situations that keep HR professionals up at night, from performance management gone wrong to accommodation requests that aren't quite what they seem.


Whether you're navigating FMLA vs. ADA, handling difficult terminations, or addressing workplace investigations, this session gives you a safe space to explore solutions, debate approaches, and learn from your peers. We'll break down frequently encountered scenarios using a mix of case studies, role-play elements, and collaborative problem-solving that makes compliance training actually enjoyable.


Walk away with practical frameworks, confidence in your decision-making, and a toolkit of strategies you can implement immediately. No boring lectures, just real talk about real situations, with actionable insights you'll use long after the session ends. Bring your questions, your war stories, and your best judgment!
