This interactive session will provide you with proven methods of qualifying and closing the best candidates including examples and case studies.

HR's Role at the Executive Table- Get There & Keep Your Position We know that HR must become engaged. It is far better to be at the decision making table from the start instead of waiting at their desk to hear about the latest budget or staff cuts. A key to survival for HR in today's rapidly evolving economic environment is to become a profit centre, develop systems, models and matrixes to measure and report on human resource performance. How does HR get to or sustain their role in the corporate boardroom? As major partners in the management of the organization, we must prove our value to the bottom line and brush up on our knowledge of financial management issues. Today's managers must see themselves as part of the solution with suggestions and strategies that add to both short and long term success. Many of us have experienced downsizing and survived mergers and acquisitions. It's a sign of the times, but do we have all the necessary knowledge? This session will present participants with information and updates on various financial issues that senior financial experts examine with CEO's and company presidents with a focus on downsizing, mergers and acquisitions. What factors come into play in getting to the C-Suite boardroom table? Recognize the trends and early warning signs and acquire the tools you need to participate in the decision-making process. Participants will learn what senior management considers in times of turnaround. Discover the best way to downsize using a detailed case study. Learn about the process and differences in dealing with union and non-union environments. What is the cost of terminating your best employees? What do you need to have in place to approach senior level executive? The session will also include an update the new Wage Earner Protection Program (WEPP). In this volatile economic climate, obtain the tools you need to get the job done right and avoid needless litigation. In the case of mergers, acquisitions, downsizing and restructuring, you'll be able to sustain your role as a key team player. Click here for information on Philip Gennis
Performance Management: What's New in the War for Talent? The Performance Management framework is critical for an organization to link together the important elements of an overall human capital management plan: from recruitment and compensation, through to talent evaluation, succession planning, and then all the way to leadership development and personal growth. Organizations that can link these crucial organizational processes together do so with a rigorous focus on performance management. This session will help participants identify potential "stall points" that most organizations face, as well as discuss a number of ways to avoid them through a meticulous focus on performance management. Participants will learn how important it is to keep focused on your people especially as the current economy begins to recover. We will discuss how to tailor the process and message to the different generations in today's workforce. Discover what has changed and what you as managers can do. You will obtain tips on how to get senior executives on board. Participants will gain valuable insight on today's best and worst practices that can be applied towards any organization regardless of size. We will review case studies of leading employers and how you can avoid making major mistakes. We'll review the difference between measuring performance and measuring potential. This is the time to reset policy and process. A comprehensive performance management program will support your organization's current business objectives and allow for the achievement of its long term goals, and ultimately to realize its potential.

Power Presentation Skills- More than Words and Lip Service! Today, there is an increasing importance placed on communication and presentation skills in the workplace. Many individuals continue to struggle with this, unable to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively. With the onset of rapid technology, the art of getting your message across to others is taking a back seat. Yet, more and more companies are placing increasing importance on presentation skills. It has been proven that the fear of public speaking ranks higher than the fear of death. Standing and presenting in front of a group does not come naturally for most. It is an acquired skill that can be made easier through the benefits of presentation coaching. Lack of effective presentation skills sometimes stands in the way of our success and how we are perceived. In this session, you will walk away with: * avoiding presentation pitfalls and communication traps * embracing your own communication style * tools for getting your message across and your voice heard * tips on how to appear calm despite how you may feel Click here for information on Adele
