State HR
Professionals

In collaboration with Delta Dental and MetLife, the CalHR Benefits Division is hosting a Benefits Summit for state HR professionals. You’re invited to:

• Hear directly from:
  • Benefit carriers including VSP, MetLife, ARAG, The Standard and Delta Dental on the fundamentals of administering state employee benefits.
  • The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS).
  • Our new EAP vendor Spring Health and the new Wellness vendor Grokker.
• Network and speak directly with benefit carrier representatives.

Registration is now open! Seats are limited at each event, so each individual attending from a personnel office will need to complete their own registration. Please register only once. The Benefits Summit is for Personnel staff only. Please do not allow employees outside of the personnel office to register. Visit the Benefits Summit webpage for registration links.

Registration will close once capacity has been met. The summit will be free to attend; however, travel costs will be at the discretion of departments.

For questions regarding the Benefits Summit, please reach out to OpenEnrollment@calhr.ca.gov

The Benefits Ambassador Training Series helps HR professionals and benefits administrators stay up to date on state benefits resources and tools. The Quarter 1 training focused on Benefits Administration Manual (BAM) Basics and Navigation. You can access the slide deck here.

CalHR hosted a Virtual Lunch and Learn Session on Sept. 25, 2025 to help HR professionals stay informed on Open Enrollment processes, updates to benefits and best practices. We encourage you to join future sessions to refresh your knowledge and ask any additional questions.

Visit the Open Enrollment Resources for HR Professionals webpage to access the presentation.
