About HRSS Lunch Breaks:

A full virtual learning calendar, without the work.
HR Summer School Lunch Breaks provides HR groups and chapters with a turnkey, non-salesy virtual education series so volunteer leaders can focus on community rather than coordination.

Since 2020, HR Summer School speakers and content have touched the lives of more than 25,000 HR professionals around the world. At the same time, chapter and state-level HR leaders across the US are having trouble:

  • Managing an ongoing virtual event schedule
  • Working with a limited speaker budget
  • Finding educational, interesting, and non-salesy speakers for their events
  • Dealing with HRCI/SHRM recertification credit submissions

And the list goes on!

Volunteer HR leaders have their hands full with local networking and events, so why spend extra time creating a virtual event schedule? HR Summer School Lunch Breaks are essentially an outsourced virtual learning opportunity for HR professionals and groups to share with their members and audiences. And the benefits are compelling:

  • Access high-quality speakers across a range of topics
  • Logistics are handled for you--simply invite your group members to participate
  • We support on-demand access and attendee tracking
  • Our team engages the audience and makes them feel like the valuable members of the community that they truly are
  • Get a minimum of 12 amazing speakers for the same cost that many groups pay for one virtual keynote!

From Pressure to Prevention: Rethinking Workplace Stress Before It Starts

Workplace stress is often addressed only after it becomes a problem, but the most effective HR leaders know prevention is the real strategy. In this session, we’ll explore how HR can proactively reduce stress, equip leaders with better support systems, and create environments where people can perform without burning out.

  • Spot Stress Before It Spreads: Identify the early organizational signals that indicate stress is building across teams.
  • Equip Leaders to Support, Not Escalate: Practical ways HR can guide managers to reduce pressure instead of unintentionally creating it.
  • Build Systems That Support Wellbeing: Simple cultural and operational shifts that help prevent chronic workplace stress.
