Poolside chat: What HR can control in a world that feels out of control

Fireside chats are great. But it’s July.

So instead of gathering around a fireplace, we’re pulling up a chair by the pool for an honest conversation about the realities of leading HR today.

Join Jellyvision’s VP of People as she sits down with fellow HR leaders to talk about what organizations are really navigating right now—from a challenging job market and AI-driven disruption to balancing employee expectations with business realities and making tough decisions in the face of tighter budgets.

No polished presentations or canned talking points. Just honest conversation about what’s changing, what’s getting harder, what’s actually working, and where HR leaders can still make a meaningful impact. Bring your questions and join the discussion, or simply sit back, soak it in, and leave with a few fresh ideas.
