SUMMARY:Seattle SHRM May Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Benefits strategies are evolving quickly—and HR leaders are under increasing pressure to ensure their plans remain competitive\, cost-effective\, and aligned with what peer organizations are doing. \nThis session takes a practical\, market-driven approach to both health insurance and 401(k) plan design\, highlighting current industry trends and how employers are adapting their strategies in real time. Attendees will gain insight into how similar organizations are structuring their benefits\, where they are investing\, and which plan features they are prioritizing to attract and retain talent. \nUsing ERISA as a unifying framework\, this session will also explore the key “levers” HR leaders can adjust across both health and retirement plans—from contributions and plan design features to emerging fringe benefits—to drive stronger outcomes. \nIn addition\, we will cover key legislative updates impacting plan sponsors\, including SECURE 2.0 and the evolving requirements under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026\, which expands upon Health & Welfare plan regulations introduced in the CAA of 2021. Attendees will gain clarity on how these changes affect compliance\, fiduciary responsibility\, and overall plan strategy. \nParticipants will leave with a clearer understanding of how their current offerings compare to peers\, along with actionable ideas to refine and elevate their overall benefits strategy. \nLearning Objectives: \nBy attending this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify current trends in health insurance and 401(k) plan design across industries\n Evaluate how peer organizations are structuring benefits to remain competitive\n Understand key fiduciary considerations under ERISA as they apply to both health and retirement plans\n Apply strategic “levers” within plan design (e.g.\, contributions\, plan features\, ancillary benefits) to improve outcomes\n Interpret key provisions of SECURE 2.0 and their impact on plan sponsors and participants\n Understand expanded compliance and transparency requirements under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026 for Health & Welfare plans\n Develop a more integrated and aligned approach to total benefits strategy

SUMMARY:Seattle SHRM June Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:If your leaders asked\, “So what does this data actually mean for the business?” — would you have a clear answer? \nIn today’s environment\, HR is expected to move beyond reporting metrics to demonstrating real business impact. Yet many teams are overwhelmed with data and unclear on where to focus. \nThis session introduces a simple\, practical framework to elevate people analytics through three key lenses: \n\nOutcome Metrics (So What): Attrition\, mobility\, quality of hire\, leadership effectiveness\nDriver Metrics (Why): Manager effectiveness\, skills gaps\, organizational design\, workload\nExperience Metrics (How It Feels): Engagement\, intent to stay\, inclusion\, confidence in leadership\n\nKey takeaway: Outcomes tell you what is happening. Drivers explain why. Experience adds the human context. \nTogether\, these insights help HR influence stronger business decisions and drive meaningful organizational impact. \nYou’ll leave with a practical framework you can immediately apply to connect people data with business outcomes and strengthen your impact as an HR leader. \nLearning Objectives: \nBy attending this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDifferentiate between outcome\, driver\, and experience metrics\nIdentify workforce metrics that matter most to business leaders\nConnect employee experience insights to business outcomes\nUse data to uncover root causes and drive actionable insights

SUMMARY:Seattle SHRM July Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:HR professionals need to know what they should be measuring — where do you start? \nWhat does their CEO actually want to see?  How do you build it without a data team? This working session closes that gap. \nYou’ll leave with a decision framework for identifying the right metrics based on your CEO’s priorities and your CFO’s existing data — because the business problem should pick the metric\, not the other way around. \nYou’ll get a step-by-step walkthrough of how to set up an AI project that functions as your always-on HR analyst\, including the exact prompts that produce a CEO-ready dashboard\, a workforce risk summary\, and predictive analytics — without a data scientist on staff. It is a part time employee without the compensation and 10x the power. \nLearning Objectives \n\nIdentify business-driven HR metrics by aligning people data with CEO and CFO priorities.\nApply AI tools and effective prompting strategies to enhance HR measurement and analytics.\n\nUtilize existing HRIS data to explore predictive analytics and anticipate workforce trends.
