This spring, join SDAO for an interactive training workshop tailored to the unique landscape of Oregon’s special districts. Our experienced speakers will equip you with the knowledge and tools to refine your HR practices, ensuring they are robust, compliant, and conducive to a thriving workplace.

Job Descriptions: Because ‘Figuring It Out as You Go’ is Not a Strategy
When was the last time you took a good, hard look at your district's job descriptions? Are they still as fresh as that cup of coffee you just spilled on your keyboard, or have they become a relic of the past, gathering dust like that one drawer full of mystery cables?

Job descriptions are not just a list of duties – they are the heart and soul of your district's personnel management system! Think of them as the foundation of your employee empire. But don’t worry! We’re here to help you turn your job descriptions from “meh” to magnificent.

Join Monica Schultz from SDAO for a fun (hopefully) and informative session where we'll unravel the mysteries of writing job descriptions that don’t just end with “all other duties as assigned”.

Choose Your Own Adventure: Conflict Edition
Join Laurie Grenya from HR Answers for a lively and interactive session. Step into the driver’s seat of conflict resolution in this engaging, high-energy session where you control the outcome! Through real-time decision-making, participants will navigate workplace challenges, peer disputes, and customer confrontations—choosing from multiple response options at key turning points.  Vote. React. Adapt. Your choices shape the story, leading to either successful de-escalation or unexpected twists that keep everyone on their toes and learning these important skills.

The Truth Is Out There: A Humorous Guide to Workplace Investigations
Join Spencer in a lighthearted, but critically serious discussion about fact-finding inquiries in the workplace.  From the basics of identifying the need, determining the best person to investigate, defining the scope and crafting the inquiry.  Come prepared with stories and the willingness to have some interactive fun.

Grow Your Own: Developing and Managing employee talent from within
It’s like gardening, but instead of plants, we’re growing skills, boosting careers, and ensuring your organization thrives like a well-watered plant. Let’s cultivate those future leaders without ever having to shop for talent on the outside!

Join MaryKay from SDAO in exploring talent management and development, a strategic process that helps employees improve their skills and advance in their career while also helping your organization meet goals and move forward.
