Improvement Imperative-On a Dime
Approved for 1.5 HRCI Credits
Speaker(s): Becky Bechtel


Improvement Imperative…On a Dime

Approved for 1.5 HRCI Credits
 
A 2008 study by Towers Perrin (now Towers Watson) found that one of every five workers today is giving full discretionary effort on the job, four out of 10 report being disenchanted or disengaged in their work. This gap in employee engagement poses a serious problem for employers who need more productivity out of fewer employees. Other studies have shown a clear link between employee engagement and business results…but in today’s climate of doing more with less or even less with less, how can we ensure that our employee’s make the right choices on what they work on? Learn how Air Products addresses employee engagement, developmental opportunities and leverages leadership development to increase bottom line results. Towers Perrin’s study also suggests that organizational attributes such as leadership, career and professional development, work culture and reputation a company has play a key role in shaping employee’s perspectives. Ms. Bechtel answers the question, “How can HR and L&D professionals partner to deliver on the development promises that employees expect…while keeping costs down?” This program will speak to how we can create the right conditions to support employee engagement and drive to the right business outcomes.
 
Speaker:

Becky Bechtel is a learning and organization development professional who applies her skills around the world on behalf of Air Products, a global industrial gases and chemicals company based in Allentown, Pennsylvania.   She is currently Manager, Global People College, one of the eleven colleges of Air Products corporate university.

College Night
Speaker(s): Frank Roche


How HR Can Communicate with Employees When There's No Money, Few Jobs, and Sometimes Very Little Good News

COLLEGE NIGHT
HRCI Credits Pending
Course Objectives: 

1) Frame the most effective employee communication techniques during these difficult times, including what to consider about change management communication

2) Discuss the advent of social media in HR and throughout companies

3) Provide an insight into innovative communication approaches such as lo-fi video

What  Will HR Professionals Take Away:

This session, intended for HR professionals and managers who are tasked with communicating with diverse employee groups, will cover what techniques work, which don't, and what to say during tumultuous times. We'll cover the rise of social media inside and outside companies, how people learn, and how key messages get results. 

The course will give HR practitioners the tools and techniques necessary to deliver effective communication to employees. During the presentation, practitioners will create a simple communication strategy for a program for their organization.

SPEAKER:Frank’s career has had a few twists and turns. He started out as a polymer physicist. Worked as a director of Total Quality. And he’s spent a long time in HR communications. All of that was preparation for when Sarah Chambers and he cooked up the idea for IFRACTAL (http://ifractal.com) over a hot chocolate at a book store more than  six years ago. IFRACTAL is a HR communications consultancy based in Philadelphia. Prior to interrupting the pattern at IFRACTAL, Frank led Mercer’s Human Capital Practice in the Netherlands and was the Communications Leader for Continental Europe.

Victim, Survivor or Navigator? Choosing a Response to Workforce Change
HRCI Credits Pending
Speaker(s): Richard McKnight, PhD


The Recruitment and Retention Committee of the Greater Valley Forge Human Resource Association Presents:

 Victim, Survivor or Navigator? Choosing a Response to Workforce Change
Thursday, April 22, 2010
 Registration and Networking from 1:00pm-1:30pm
 Presentation from 1:30-4:00
 HRCI credits pending
ViroPharma Conference Center
Exton, PA
 
Workers fare best when they function as a Navigator, not as a Victim or Survivor during a down economy & workplace stress. While workers who have been laid off could tell at least over seven million stories about what it’s been like to lose a job since January 2009, those workers and the people who now do the jobs they left behind have only three choices in hope to cope with the situation. The three choices workers have with respect to workplace changes, whether currently employed or in transition: to be a Victim who fights or takes flight, a Survivor who deals with change via political maneuvering, or to be a Navigator, one who finds ways to use the upheaval to become a stronger, wiser, more productive person. Recent studies by various organizations shows that workplace stress is at all time highs and that employee engagement is at an all time low. During this seminar you will be given the tools as HR professionals to help your team choose a productive response to their current situation. If you are an Hr professional in transition these checklists, worksheets and exercises will be extremely helpful in your search for employment. Today you are going to hear from Dr. Richard McKnight, a consultant and expert on organizational productivity who speaks and publishes on workplace stress, strategy, implementation, leadership, and organizational change. At the conclusion of the seminar you will have the opportunity to ask Dr. McKnight questions.
 
SPEAKER Richard McKnight, PhD For over 30 years, Dr. Richard McKnight has been an organizational consultant supporting executives and their teams as they endeavor to execute strategy. In this capacity, he provides services that include executive coaching, leadership development, strategic visioning, top team alignment, and organizational design. Dr. McKight’s work focuses on aligning internal organizational functioning with the demands of the external marketplace. He is skilled in quickly enabling large numbers of employees to understand and embrace a company’s new strategy, aligning work unit effort with the strategy, and in fostering cross divisional collaboration.
Seminar will begin promptly at 1:30PM
