2026 PBC SHRM Annual Conference - One Day Only (Wednesday, May 20, 2026)

Wed, 20 May 2026 11:30:00 GMT

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming 2026 PBC SHRM Annual ONE DAY Conference, themed "Pulse 360!", Synchronizing People, Culture & Strategy for a Purpose Drive Future!

Pulse 360 is more than a theme — it’s a reflection of how we stay in sync as an organization. The logo, featuring a heart, and heart rhythm, symbolizes the pulse of our people. Just as a steady heartbeat keeps the body aligned, Pulse 360 represents the continuous feedback and alignment that powers our workforce.

The workforce is evolving faster than ever. AI is transforming how we recruit, develop, and support talent. Data-driven insights are helping us personalize employee experiences and shifting expectations around flexibility, purpose, and well-being are redefining what it means to thrive at work.

Pulse 360 is our commitment to listen deeply, adapt boldly, and align People, Culture, and Strategy to a single rhythm — One Beat. One heartbeat. One organization. One shared purpose.

Join us at the PBC SHRM 2026 Annual Conference, where HR professionals, business leaders, and innovators come together to spark new ideas, share best practices, and shape the future of work.

Get ready for a conference that’s powerful, impactful, and unforgettable — a true catalyst for connection, innovation, and transformation.

Creating a culture where people feel safe to speak up, share ideas, and take risks is essential for high‑performing teams — especially in local government. This session breaks down what psychological safety looks like in practice and why it matters for learning, innovation, and employee well‑being.

Participants will explore a four‑stage framework (Inclusion → Learner → Contributor → Challenger), the connection between psychological safety, emotional intelligence, and mental health, and practical steps leaders and teams can apply immediately to strengthen openness, speaking‑up behavior, and cross‑functional collaboration.

Learning Objectives

This training is ideal for supervisors, managers, and anyone who wants to strengthen team culture. You’ll learn:

What psychological safety is and why it matters
The four developmental stages teams move through
How leaders and teams can create environments that encourage speaking up
Practical strategies you can apply immediately
