WEBINAR COST: HRATV Members $10.00; Non-Members $18.00; Students $5.00. 

The Human Resources Association of Treasure Valley is pleased to announce the January Professional Development and Networking program. Let’s get together and “Rediscover the Value of Human Connection”, presented by Julie Dresback, Director of Governance at St. Luke’s Health System.

How does our connection with others and ability to lean into our HR community, enhance and elevate those we manage/guide and those we work for/with?  What is the difference our human connection and community can make when leading and strategizing solutions through our respective organizations?

Humans are inherently social beings. We rely on others to validate, support, challenge, and engage with us and social connection is a key factor for mitigating emotional distress and loneliness.  These last 2 years have resulted in some seismic shifts in our social landscape –intentional isolation, fear of the unknown, “zoom fatigue”, and social distancing are all showing negative impacts on our ability to connect with others. Recent studies are starting to reveal the enormity of hardships people are experiencing including increases in loneliness, anxiety, and depression.
