Managing the Employee Lifecycle in California

The Employment Relationship from Start to Finish (California Edition) is a 24-part training series designed for HR professionals and leaders who want a disciplined, defensible approach to managing employees under California law. Rather than focusing on checklists or isolated rules, this series examines the judgment calls, decision points, and failure modes that create risk across the employment relationship—even for experienced HR teams. Each 30-minute session addresses a discrete stage of employment while connecting it to what comes before and after, helping participants spot issues earlier, document more effectively, and make decisions that hold up under scrutiny. The series is equally valuable as a foundation for newer HR professionals and as a recalibration tool for experienced practitioners responsible for managing risk in California’s highly regulated employment environment.
