Questions, answered
What are Boss Calls™?
Live, interactive webinars covering the full range of HR topics — compliance changes, engagement, performance, technology, and the legal questions that keep you up at night. Members describe them as a hybrid webinar-podcast: informative, but a good time.
Lisa Smith, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, leads every session, and guest experts — often employment attorneys — join for the thornier subjects.
How do I access Boss Calls?
Boss Calls are included with your HelpDesk for HR membership. You'll get an email before each one with a registration link, and you can always register from the Boss Call access page on your dashboard. Your Zoom link comes with your confirmation.
What if I can't make it to one?
Nothing is lost. Every Boss Call is recorded, and the replay plus any handouts are emailed to you afterward. Your dashboard also keeps a full archive of past calls, so you can go back to one from last year whenever the topic comes up.
Can non-members attend?
Yes. Individual Boss Calls are open to non-members for a one-time fee of $49–$89, depending on the session. If a call catches your eye, follow the registration instructions in the announcement email to join.
Can I suggest a topic?
Please do — member questions shape the calendar. Whether it's a specific situation you're working through or a subject you've just been curious about, send it over through the contact form and it goes on the list.
What makes Boss Calls different?
Current information, delivered in a way you'll actually stay awake for. Subject matter experts, including attorneys, tackle the complicated legal questions directly, and the live format means you can ask about your situation rather than a hypothetical one.
You don't have to take our word for it — read what members say.
