Attracting, Retaining, and Motivating Today's Workers – Today's workers have changed and so have the ways we bring them into our organizations and the methods for keeping them around.  This interactive and practical session explores these changes and how "best practice" organizations are developing motivated and committed workers. Participants leave this session with practical tips for getting top talent to join their organization and for retaining them after they've joined.

Creating a Retention Culture in a Short-Timer's World - Changing demographics, retirement enhancements, and a lack of employment loyalty have created new challenges for organizations desiring to retain workers for more than the going average: 1.3 years.  "Creating a Retention Culture in a Short-Timer's World" explores current retention realities and proposes four new cultures that can be fostered to enhance retention. By creating a culture of choice, a culture of balance, and culture of development, and a culture of care, organizations can increase the average number of years employees stay and thus, increase the sense of loyalty in the workplace.

Developing your Organizational Talent – Managers and supervisors often neglect one of their most vital roles: coaching and mentoring their employees. Organizational leaders are links to retaining and developing the organization’s staff of the future. This session will emphasize the importance of making talent development a regular part of the manager’s job, while presenting practical tips for how to accomplish this task. The focus is on preparing the current workforce to be more productive and flexible to meet future demands.

Managing the Performance of Today’s Workers: New Perspectives on Performance Management – The traditional performance management cycle is still in vogue. Yet most organizational leaders have loads of excuses for why it is not implemented and reinforced within their organizations. In this session, participants will learn to use practical tools for simplifying their role as coaches and developers of their staff. The importance of frequent and specific communication related to performance will be emphasized in order to remind leaders about their job as performance managers.

Building and Fostering Workplace Trust – Trust and loyalty are becoming critical issues to today’s organizational leaders. No longer do employees work for one organization their entire careers. The average retention of an employee is less than five years. Research has indicated that one reason for this change is lack of trust between employee and employer and vice versa. This keynote presentation offers eight tenets of trust that are the foundation of productive work relationships. In addition, these tenets will assist leaders and managers in building trusting work environments.

Supervisors:  Keepers of the Organization's Future - Organizations are not the same as they used to be.  We are experiencing significant changes in attitudes about work, which impacts our ability to attract and retain workers.  New beliefs about the definition of "career," about the use of technology, and about the need to balance work and lifestyle are impacting how we lead our organizations.  Whether you are a team leader, supervisor, or manager, your job is to create a work environment that meets the needs of today's workers. This presentation offers five tips for ensuring your organization's future and building commitment and trust between leaders and employees. 

Getting Management to Listen:  HR's Quest for a "Seat at the Table" - A shift is underway in the human resources profession from being "transactional" to being "consultative."  Human resource professionals must recognize the new role they play in affecting organizational change and must prepare themselves with a new set of skills.  In this interactive and practical session, you will learn the key skills that are necessary to gain your organization's respect and earn your "seat at the table."
