Janice Litvin to Bring "Recruit to Retain in the Age of AI" Keynote to

NHRMA's 88th Annual Conference on "Leading and Humanizing the Future of Work"

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (August 10, 2026) – Workplace culture, burnout prevention, and retention expert Janice Litvin has been selected to speak for the 88th Annual Northwest Human Resources Management Association Conference and Tradeshow, with the theme of The Advantage: Leading and Humanizing the Future of Work. This conference will take place September 9th – 11th at the Spokane Convention Center in Spokane, Washington.

Litvin will present her newest keynote, Recruit to Retain in the Age of AI: The Power of Human Connection, introducing attendees to her Human Path to Retention™ Framework. The session speaks directly to NHRMA's 2026 theme, showing HR leaders how to gain true advantage by pairing AI-driven efficiency with the human practices that keep employees engaged, connected, and committed to staying.

Drawing on her background in banking, technology recruiting, and organizational well-being, Litvin helps leaders create workplaces where employees choose to stay, humanizing the very future of work the conference theme calls for.

"AI can help organizations hire faster," said Litvin. "But people stay because they feel connected to their leaders, their teams, and the organization's purpose. Retention is built one human interaction at a time."

Litvin's presentation takes place on Thursday, September 10th, at 12:45 p.m.

She is the founder of Banish Burnout Academy and the author of Banish Organizational Burnout: 26 Tips for Managers. Her programs help organizations reduce burnout, improve engagement, strengthen leadership, and build cultures where people thrive.

Executive presentation skills expert Patricia Fripp praised Litvin's impact:

"Janice Litvin is a dynamic and engaging speaker. Her passion for wellness, retention, and burnout prevention, combined with her deep knowledge of the subject, make her an excellent choice. When we hired her to keynote our meeting, the entire audience was up dancing, including our 94-year-old member."

Litvin has presented to audiences including the American Bankers Association, the American Staffing Association, SHRM (the Society for Human Resource Management), and many other organizations nationwide.

Founded in 1939, the Northwest Human Resource Management Association provides professional development opportunities for HR professionals in Alaska, Oregon, and Washington.
