VenueConnect24 is offering something new for Rising Leaders – a 6-part series designed to educate, inspire, and empower our members to be better managers.
Amber Clayton, SHRM-SCP, Senior Director of the Knowledge Center Operations for SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management), will present, “Duties as Assigned: Training for Newly Promoted Managers” – a discussion on managing peers, performance reviews, and disciplining staff.
Amber leads a team of HR experts who field an average of 60,000 HR-related inquiries from members annually. Frequently sought after as a speaker for webinars, conferences, and media interviews, she co-hosts a podcast called Honest HR. She is SHRM-certified with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Baltimore, and holds specialty credentials in California law, inclusive workplace culture, and workplace investigations. Prior to joining SHRM in 2011, she had gained years of HR experience in healthcare and retail.

What can VC24 attendees expect to learn at your session?
During this session, you’ll learn how to build trust and communicate with your former peers. You’ll learn the main components of performance reviews, including setting goals and what you should and shouldn’t do. You’ll also learn how to handle policy violations and performance issues through disciplinary action.
What is the best advice you’ve received?
Always assume positive intent. Or, you can only control what’s in your circle.
What’s the last book you read?
I couldn’t tell you. I’m not much of a book reader. I have a short attention span 😊. I usually read articles online.
Please join us at VC24 for this session!
