“Use good judgment” is not an AI policy.

AI governance cannot live in one policy document that nobody knows how to use.

Your people need clarity about what is allowed, what is not, and what to do when the answer is unclear.

That is what I’ll be covering at the SHRM NorCal Annual Conference in San Francisco on October 5.

I built The GATES Model™ to help organizations create practical AI governance across the business, not just inside HR.

G is for Guardrails
The ethical principles and data boundaries your team cannot cross.

A is for Access & Approval
Who can use what, with which permissions, and who makes that decision.

T is for Transparency
Clear disclosure, documentation, and audit trails.

E is for Escalation & Enforcement
A defined path for reporting concerns, answering hard questions, and responding when expectations are not followed.

S is for Stewardship
Ongoing training, monitoring, and review as technology and your organization continue to change.

In California, “we did not know” has never been a defense.

📍 SHRM NorCal Annual Conference
📅 October 5
🕚 11:00 a.m. PT
📌 San Francisco

We’ll build this out live during the session. Bring your questions, the AI-policy issues your leaders are trying to solve, and the gray areas nobody has claimed ownership of yet.

If you’ll be at SHRM NorCal, I’d love to see you in the room.

Your employees are not waiting for you to figure out your AI policy.

They’re already using it.

That is why I’m honored to be speaking at the SHRM NorCal Annual Conference in San Francisco.

We’ll talk about one of the most urgent leadership decisions organizations are facing right now: setting clear expectations, permissions, and governance for AI use across the organization.

Because this is not just a technology conversation.

It is a leadership conversation.

Who can use AI?
For what?
What information can and cannot be entered into these tools?
And who is responsible for setting the boundaries before a well-intended shortcut becomes a people, privacy, or compliance problem?

No policy.
No structure.
No plan.

That is not a strategy.

📍 SHRM NorCal Annual Conference
📅 October 5
🕚 11:00 a.m. PT
📌 San Francisco

If you’re attending SHRM NorCal, I’d love to see you in the room. We’ll get practical about the next right move for leaders who need clarity without slowing their organization down.

And if you’re not attending, follow along here. I share practical guidance for leaders handling real people problems, from culture and compliance to the HR issues that land on your desk when there is no deep HR bench behind you.

Final reminder: Respect in the Workplace Starts With Me™ is coming up on September 17.

If you are a California supervisor, manager, owner, HR professional leading supervisors, or anyone responsible for managing people, this live virtual workshop fulfills the SB 1343 mandatory training requirement.

But the goal is not just to complete the requirement.
The goal is to strengthen how leaders communicate, address behavior, receive concerns, and build a workplace where respect is the standard.

Respect is not soft. Respect is leadership. And respectful workplaces are built on purpose.

If you still need to complete the required training, I would be glad to have you join me.

Register today for the September 17 live virtual workshop: https://visionovahr.com/lp-respect-in-the-workplace-starts-with-me/

Do Not Just Check the Box.

If your California supervisors still need to complete their required SB 1343 training, now is the time to register.

My live virtual workshop, Respect in the Workplace Starts With Me™, is happening on September 17.

This training fulfills the mandatory sexual harassment and discrimination prevention training requirement for supervisors, managers, owners, and anyone who manages people.

But this workshop is not designed to be another passive compliance training.
It is interactive, practical, and focused on what leaders can do to build a respectful workplace before concerns become complaints.

We will talk about communication, accountability, early intervention, and the leadership behaviors that help create a culture of respect.

Because when respect becomes the standard, organizations are better positioned to prevent problems before they escalate.

If you need to complete the required training, reserve your spot today: https://visionovahr.com/lp-respect-in-the-workplace-starts-with-me/

Compliance Starts with Respect.

Most workplace issues do not begin as legal claims.

They begin as small moments that are ignored, minimized, excused, or allowed to continue.
A comment that should have been addressed. A concern that was brushed off. A pattern of behavior everyone sees, but no one wants to name.

That is why respectful leadership matters.

Supervisors play a critical role in shaping culture. They set the tone for how people communicate, how concerns are handled, and what behavior is accepted.

California requires supervisors and people managers to complete sexual harassment and discrimination prevention training every two years under SB 1343.

But required training does not have to feel disconnected from real leadership.

Respect in the Workplace Starts With Me™ was designed to meet the requirement and help leaders build a more respectful, accountable workplace.

If you lead people, this workshop is for you.

Join me live on September 17.

Required by Law. Built for Better Leadership.

If you supervise employees in California, or if you own or manage an organization with supervisors, SB 1343 training is not optional.

Supervisors, managers, owners, and anyone who manages people must complete sexual harassment and discrimination prevention training
every two years.

But here is my encouragement: do not just check the box.

Use the requirement as an opportunity to strengthen the way your leaders communicate, correct behavior, respond to concerns, and model respect.

That is what we will focus on in Respect in the Workplace Starts With Me™.

This live virtual workshop fulfills California’s mandatory supervisor training requirement, but it is designed to be practical, interactive, and grounded in real workplace leadership moments.

When we focus on what is respectful, we will never get to what is illegal.

Join me on September 17 and complete the required training with purpose.

Respect Isn’t Soft: It’s Required

Respect in the workplace is not about avoiding hard conversations. It is not about lowering expectations. And it is not about letting poor behavior slide.

Real respect is clear. Real respect is direct. Real respect includes accountability.

For California employers, supervisor sexual harassment and discrimination prevention training is required under SB 1343. But the opportunity is bigger than compliance.

This required training can become a meaningful leadership conversation about the kind of workplace you are trying to build.

That is why I created Respect in the Workplace Starts With Me™, a live virtual workshop for supervisors, managers, owners, HR professionals leading supervisors, and anyone responsible for managing people.

Yes, it fulfills the California mandatory training requirement. But it was built to help leaders understand how respect shows up in everyday workplace moments before issues become formal complaints.

Because respect is not soft. Respect is leadership.

Step 6: Establish a path forward.

You handled the employee issue, had the difficult conversation, and reviewed the policy.
But a few months later, the same problem shows up with a different employee or manager.

That usually means the immediate issue was addressed, but the system behind it was not.
The final step is to establish a path forward. Ask what allowed the problem to happen in the first place. Were expectations unclear? Did the manager lack training? Was documentation inconsistent? Did accountability depend on who was involved?

Then decide what needs to change. Clarify the expectation in writing. Give managers a consistent process to follow. Document decisions and follow-up. Make sure accountability is respectful and applied consistently.

This is where culture and compliance meet. A stronger process reduces risk, while clear expectations help employees and managers trust how people decisions are made.
Resolving today’s issue matters. Building a healthier workplace pattern is what keeps it from returning.

What is one people problem your organization has “solved” more than once? That may be the place to strengthen the system.

I’m looking forward to speaking at the SHRM NorCal Annual Conference this October.

On October 4–6 in San Francisco, I’ll be leading a conversation about something leaders cannot afford to leave vague: how your organization decides who can use AI, what they can access, and where accountability lives.

This is not just an HR policy question.
It is a leadership, culture, and risk decision for the entire organization.

Your employees are already making choices about AI use. The next right move is making sure those choices are supported by clear expectations, appropriate permissions, and a policy your leaders can actually use.

If you’ll be at SHRM NorCal, I’d love to see you in the room. More session details soon.

Who else will be in San Francisco this October?

Step 5: Get to one concrete move.

A people issue has taken over your week, but you still have not decided what to do next.
That does not mean you do not care. It often means you are stuck between overthinking and avoiding.

You gather more information. You wait for the right time. You discuss the issue behind closed doors. Meanwhile, your team sees that nothing is changing.

Once you have assessed the facts, the risk, and the real problem, do not create a 12-step plan. Choose one concrete move.

Schedule the conversation within 48 hours. Put the expectation in writing. Gather the one missing fact you need.

If there may be a California compliance concern, pause and get qualified HR guidance before moving forward.
One move. One owner. One timeline.
You do not need to solve everything today. You need to stop the drift.

What is one concrete move you can make this week?
