What to expect
The National Leverage Lab brings together employees, HR professionals, and employment attorneys for a full day of keynotes, breakout sessions, and real community, all organized around one question: what does it actually take to hold abusive workplaces accountable?
The day opens in Washington, DC with a grounding look at the workplace accountability landscape: the systemic patterns driving harm, the emerging solutions taking shape across industries and jurisdictions, and the practical frameworks attendees will carry into the afternoon. Keynote addresses follow, setting the tone for a day built around tangible paths forward.
The afternoon divides into three tracks designed around where you are right now. Employees building and documenting their cases. HR professionals navigating executive pressure from the inside. Attorneys exploring every available path to accountability.
SCHEDULE
Morning Plenary
The day opens with keynote addresses from nationally recognized voices on workplace accountability, followed by a landscape session mapping the systemic patterns driving harm and the solutions gaining ground across industries and jurisdictions.
Afternoon Tracks
Three concurrent sessions run simultaneously, one for employees, one for HR professionals, and one for attorneys, each built around your specific role, your specific pressure points, and what you need to walk out with. SHRM and HRCI continuing education credits available. CLE credits pending.
Closing & Healthy Hour
The day closes with a forward-looking session pulling together the throughlines across all three tracks, what accountability actually requires, and what practitioners in every role can do to accelerate it. Networking and guided peer conversations follow, with space to continue the work you started in the room.
