There's No Place Like HR: Vistry at the SHRM San Diego Annual Conference
On Thursday, November 5, Vistry joined San Diego's HR community at the SHRM San Diego Annual Conference at The Prado in Balboa Park as a Contributing Sponsor. The theme was "There's No Place Like HR", and the day ran from the keynotes in the Grand Ballroom to the reception in the fountain courtyard. Thank you to SHRM San Diego, its volunteers and everyone who stopped by our booth.
The question we asked at the booth
Our sign asked one thing: what's the question your HR team answers most? For most HR teams it's a short list that comes back every week: how much PTO is left, when payday is, how to submit a medical note, when a benefit starts. Each one has an answer in a policy somewhere. Each one still lands in an HR inbox.
That is the work Eva takes on. Eva answers employees' HR questions from your own approved policies and systems, any time of day or night, in 30+ languages, and hands a question to a person on your HR team when it needs one. What that adds up to:
- 85% of routine HR questions answered automatically
- 95% source-grounded answers, each traceable to your approved content
- 21+ HR hours back every week
Built for HR teams like this one
In Southern California the same HR question often arrives in English one day and Spanish the next. That is why our sign showed employee questions in five languages: Eva answers in the employee's own language from the same approved source, so the answer stays consistent whoever asks it.
Closer to home for this audience: SHRM California (CalSHRM) selected Eva to support its own State Council team.

There really is no place like HR. Thank you, San Diego.
