We’ll cut to the chase. Payroll Link is raising the bar in the CAHR19 Expo by providing the first-ever PUPPY PLAY ZONE. (C’mon, even their logo features a pup – it’s perfect!)

Partnering with local adoption shelter Priceless Pet Rescue, an organization with personal ties, and where one employee even volunteers their personal free time, Payroll Link wanted to offer something different at CAHR19 that would help them meet potential clients who share their values.

And the best part? Payroll Link is covering ALL ADOPTION FEES at CAHR19! Normally these fees are $150 for an adult dog, and $350 for a puppy. If you’re looking to add to your family, take home a vaccinated, spayed, neutured pup at no cost thanks to Payroll Link.

Not in the adoption market, but want to play with some pups? The Payroll Link Puppy Play Zone hours of operation are 10:30am – 2:00pm on Monday and Tuesday at the CAHR19 Expo. Adopt a new HCM solution – and a new friend!

Justification Letter

The Elevated CAHR19 Menu

by PIHRA Marketing | Jul 18, 2019 | Blog

The CAHR19 menu is not something we take lightly. We pride ourselves in offering a different HR conference experience, one that prioritizes our attendees as much as the content and speakers. What you eat while you learn and network can mean the difference between staying tuned in or spacing out. Plus, no one wants to eat boring, same-old-same-old food at an event, right? This year we’re not just giving you a sneak peak at the 2019 California HR Conference menu, we’re diving a little deeper into its planning and inspiration.

We went to the Long Beach Convention Center and chatted with resident Chef Will Minard about what he and Executive Chef James Miller whipped up for the CAHR19 attendees.

“I’m literally cooking every day,” says Will of his involvement in just about all culinary matters at the Long Beach Convention Center, from smaller menus to the larger events.

He takes a very hands on approach to dish and menu planning and applies personal standards of quality to everything he serves. “I’m one of the chefs that’s in the kitchen with the guys working and grinding with everyone because I want to make sure everything tastes good for the client. If I wouldn’t serve it to my mom, I wouldn’t serve it to everyone else.”

Where his ingredients come from is important, too. “I’m very close with all of our purveyors,” says Will. “If I want a specific type of this or that, I make sure I get it. For the main [CAHR19] lunch entrees, we use Tanaka Farms which is a local farm in Orange County.”

This local source of menu items offers dish inspiration as well. Regarding this year’s caprese chicken lunch, Will said, “We go to them for our tomatoes a lot, squash and other produce, so I got some of their heirloom cherry tomatoes and I marinated them in some mountain oil with garlic and shallot, salt, and pepper. Then we have fresh mozzarella that we make in-house to put on top of the chicken along with our aged balsamic, which we also age and reduce ourselves in the kitchen.”

For the lemon chicken lunch, Will and his team make their own oregano marinade. “We have our own mini garden in the back [of the convention center] and a lemon tree which we’ll pull from when we don’t need a high volume of lemons.”

Will’s eyes lit up as he explained a recent kitchen addition. “I just got this cool new little hydroponic planter that I can grow my own micro greens in so we’ll soon be adding our own micro greens to dishes.”

If you think this sounds like a lot of hard work and attention to detail for a kitchen operation that handles massive orders for huge events, you’re right, and Will agrees with you. He says, “I try to bring a lot of restaurant ideals into the catering world and it’s a struggle but we do it. It’s wild if you think about it; we’re cooking for thousands of people and we’re doing even the minimalist things like making our own aged balsamic. It’s insane to most people considering the volume we do.”

On top of all this attention to detail, Will takes great pride in providing food that’s actually good for people and helps them achieve more. “For your afternoon snacks we’re going with grains as they’re a good source of protein and fibers and they’re big right now in the culinary world. We want to get away from the normal coffee and bagel type deal and give people a little of sustainable energy to help them get through the rest of the day until the receptions and shows. You don’t want them all tired and groggy or hopped up on coffee and artificial sugars. Give them some of that natural stuff to help them get on through the day.”

Great, now that we’ve covered the lunches and snacks, let’s get to the sweet stuff… desserts! This is an area close to Will’s heart.

“Traditionally I’m a pastry chef so I wanted to match the desserts to the style of food. Since we have a Greek style dish with the oregano chicken and an Italian style dish with the caprese, we chose a traditional baklava with the fried phyllo dough and a tiramisu. For the bakeries where we get our [desserts] I have a very strict regimen of what I want them to use and how I want them to do it. I don’t want them to use processed sugar, I want them to use more natural palm sugar or coconut sugar.”

Variety means a lot to him as well and it shows in his menu choices. “We also did the pan dulce, traditional Mexican bread, which is a lot different from most places where they’ll give you these traditional tea cakes and breakfast breads and croissants. Why not do something that’s different? If we’re not doing anything that’s different and we’re just doing the same old same old, then what’s the point?”

We couldn’t agree more, Chef Will! Many thanks to you and the team for taking us through your menu creation process and all the ingredients – *including vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free options* – that will keep CAHR19 attendees full, energized, and ready to rock the HR world.

Now that you’ve had the full intro and background, let’s look at the actual dishes. Here’s the daily break down of what we’re serving.

Let’s get into the details of the CAHR19 menu!

CAHR19 Speaker Spotlight: Interview with Allison West

by PIHRA Marketing | Jul 16, 2019 | Blog

In the #MeToo and #TimesUp era, companies rely on HR’s ability to assess credibility during internal investigations – but assessing credibility, like much of our work in human resources, is easier said than done. At the 2019 California HR Conference, speaker Allison West will bring clarity and tools to HR professionals at her Tuesday session, When No Witnesses Are Around: Tips for Assessing Credibility. Get the inside scoop on Allison West’s session in our CAHR19 Speaker Spotlight!

This interview is brought to you by Darlene Cohen, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, an official #CAHR19 writer. Darlene is Chief HR Strategist with HR On Call Solutions. Darlene’s interviews with CAHR19 Speakers feature key questions from an HR perspective to help you find the sessions and speakers that will best serve you and your HR career. We’re thrilled to have Darlene on the team – let’s give her a warm welcome! (Learn more about Darlene below.)

CAHR19 SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT

Written by Darlene Cohen

Featuring Allison West, Esq., SHRM-SCP, SPHR

Allison West, Esq., SHRM-SCP, SPHR is an attorney and HR Guru known for her expertise on delivering interactive discussion-based training, conducting workplace investigations, delivering 1:1 sensitivity training, and providing expert witness testimony. She is also a popular speaker on everything HR. Allison has been a frequent speaker at CAHR for over ten years, and is one of my favorite speakers. Her sessions fill up fast to full capacity. Months after every conference, everyone is continuing to share her stories and program nuggets.

I’ll always remember attending her session on “Seven Steps for Creating Bulletproof Documentation” where she passed out yellow cards with “You Must Be Kidding.” Allison recognizes the needs of HR professionals and those bright yellow cards were an immediate hit. During her session, everyone would repeat the phrase while holding up the card in agreement. It was as if we were at a rally, cheering Allison on – but it was actually Allison, at the podium, cheering us on as she shared her knowledge and engaging HR stories with us. Seventy-five minutes with Allison is worth every minute and those minutes go by quickly, but you leave smarter, stronger, and armed with new compliant tools in your toolbox.

Allison’s new program for CAHR19 is No Witnesses? No Problem! Tips for Assessing Credibility to Make Sound Findings. I spoke with her earlier this month about this program and here are her thoughts on making credibility determinations.

CAHR19: Where do we start when making credibility determinations?

Allison West: I believe conducting an investigation is not a search for the truth. The goal is to figure out what happened, to follow the facts. The truth – can be a red herring. Investigators need to think about credibility determinations through the interview. Investigators also need to think about their own credibility and ask: Is there bias? Am I the right investigator?

CAHR19: What does it mean to make “findings” at the end of the investigation?

AW: Our job as investigators is to determine by a preponderance of the evidence whether it more likely than not that the conduct occurred. In other words, we weigh the evidence and credibility by 51%.

Under California law, we need to make sure that each side – the complainant and subject are given a full opportunity to be heard. The investigator must weigh the evidence looking at each person’s perspective.

CAHR19: What are the critical factors involved in credibility determinations?

AW: During the session, I will share details regarding credibility determination criteria such as:

Plausibility
Motive
Collaboration
Past Record

CAHR19: What are your thoughts on how witness credibility is determined and why are credibility determinations important?

AW: Credibility assessments are critical and take place throughout the interview and investigation. The key is to not reach a credibility finding until after the investigation is concluded and you are making findings. You don’t want to be biased and you need all of the facts to put things into context.

CAHR19: Are considerations appropriately applied to cultural, social or ethnic biases?

AW: Everybody has their own truth, and it doesn’t mean they are lying. For example, two people are looking at Betty. One sees a blue dress, and the other considers it a green dress. People interpret things in their way. We need to make sure to ask enough questions that we can sort through biases and understand context.

CAHR19: What are the three key takeaways from your CAHR19 session for HR practitioners?

AW: The first is to understand the credibility factors to consider. I encourage everyone come to my session to get the other takeaways!

Thank you so much for your time, Allison. HR friends, join me at CAHR19 for Allison West’s session on Tuesday, August 27 from 2:00pm – 3:15pm, where you will find me engaged and nodding in appreciation!
