SUMMARY:The Future of Talent Attraction—What Matters to Tomorrow’s Workforce Matters Today
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation about talent.  Because when you have the right talent fit\, you experience increased profitability\, performance and productivity—the three essentials for any successful business.  Attracting that kind of talent requires taking a close look at company culture\, recruiting strategies and hiring processes. \nEvery successful business knows it’s only as good as its employees\, and currently\, it’s a candidate’s market. This means that top talent has their choice of employers. Therefore\, it becomes fundamental for companies to enhance and maintain their employer brand to not only attract top talent\, but to send the continuous message to potential candidates—and current employees alike\, that the engagement drivers that employees need most are top-of-mind in their work culture. \nWe’ll learn: \n–the steps to talent attraction \nToday’s best prospects are focused on what businesses have to offer them – and it’s more than a paycheck. They want to know your company culture\, values and mission. They’re shopping benefits. They’re seeking fulfilling careers with businesses that are in tune with their needs.  \n–the recruiting experience  \nYou want the recruiting experience to be a good one. Even if it doesn’t work out for a job candidate\, the recruiting experience can still be a good one. And that person can affect how others view your company.  \n–and\, how the pandemic has impacted the future of work and employee expectations \nThe startling COVID19 changes has not only changed how work is currently being conducted\, but also how it will continue to operate in the future. It didn’t just show us that we can easily work from home\, but it will completely change the future of work in a variety of ways. \nSeminar Hosted by ABC Member Insperity. \nMichael is a Human Resource Consultant with Insperity.

SUMMARY:Turn the Great Resignation into Your Company’s Great Awakening
DESCRIPTION:We’ve all heard of the Great Resignation\, which has resulted from the historically high level of employee resignations over the past year. The pandemic has undoubtedly changed the landscape of work while serving as the catalyst for employees to reexamine what is meaningful for them – in their jobs and in their lives. Using this lens\, you can recategorize the Great Resignation as the “Great Awakening.” Rather than seeing this phenomenon as a threat\, forward-thinking companies are using it as an opportunity to think about the future of work and how they can keep their employees engaged and fulfilled. \nDuring this session\, you will: \n\nGain a deeper understanding of what is driving the Great Resignation\nLearn about the forces of disengagement and how to counter-balance them\nDiscover how you can use data to attract\, retain\, and develop talent in your organization\nLearn about resources and next steps you can take to reduce your turnover\, improve your company culture\, and engage your workforce\n\nWho should attend: \n\nCEOs/Owners\nCFOs\nHuman Resources leads\nAnyone in positions to effect retention efforts\n\nThis Seminar will be hosted by ABC Eastern PA Member\, Kreischer Miller. \nBobbi is a Director at Kreischer Miller\, a leading independent public accounting firm serving the Greater Philadelphia area. Bobbi leads Kreischer Miller’s Talent Advisory practice\, which helps companies align their business strategy with their people strategy. Utilizing a proprietary framework\, she works with client organizations to equip their business leaders with the tools and data they need to hire and retain top performers and create high performing teams. The result is an intentionally-designed people plan that increases productivity\, builds a winning culture\, and creates the flexibility a company needs to adapt to change over time. \nIn her previous role at Kreischer Miller\, Bobbi played a key role in the firm’s talent strategy and implemented this talent optimization framework for the firm’s leadership and team members. \n

SUMMARY:Understanding Vaccines In The Workplace To Protect Your Business
DESCRIPTION:The public/private partnership between the US government and some of the world’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers has resulted in multiple COVID-19 vaccinations. Now questions arise around the employer’s responsibilities when it comes to encouraging\, or even requiring\, employee vaccination. Is a mandate even possible? What about reasonable accommodations? What about liability if an employee has a negative reaction to the vaccine? Or\, what about liability if I don’t require it? How do you navigate a situation that is updating in real-time and do so in a way that protects your employees\, your customers and the long-term health of your business? \nJoin Insperity’s local HR and Safety experts for an important session that will unpack the most recent governmental guidance and explore some of the potential pitfalls associated with this evolving topic.

SUMMARY:Effective Delegation Strategies
DESCRIPTION:TARGET AUDIENCE:  Mid-level Managers and up \nHow many times have you done a task yourself because you thought you could get it done quicker and more efficiently than anyone else? Even if you could get it done quicker\, all the time you are spending doing jobs that other people could be doing is time that you are not running your business. Every time you allow yourself to get bogged down in simple details that your employees could be working on\, you are not being an effective leader. The main person in your company who will be truly motivated to grow your company is YOU. Every minute that you spend working on tasks that can be delegated to someone else is a minute that you are not planning\, strategizing\, and building the best business possible. This workshop will discuss effective delegation strategies that you can implement today so you can get back to the most crucial tasks. \n  \nSeminar Hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Development
