SUMMARY:Dealing with Delay: From Contract Negotiations to Claims
DESCRIPTION:Description: The presentation will provide strategies for contractors to protect themselves against the impacts of delays and will identify practical steps that a contractor can take at various stages of a project\, from bid to close-out\, that will increase the contractor’s chances of successfully obtaining additional time and compensation.  The strategies presented will include: \n\naddressing schedule requirements at the proposal stage and negotiating contract language to reduce the risk of cost impacts associated with material shortages\, force majeure\, changes\, unforeseen conditions\, delays cause by others\, and non-excusable delays attributable to the contractor;\ndocumentation practices during the performance of the work to avoid contractual pitfalls and effectively supporting claims for additional time and compensation; and\,\nsuccessfully resolving disputes and pursuing claims for additional time and compensation as a result of delay and impacts.\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\nProvide an understanding of basic “delay” related terminology;\nPresent bidding and pre-construction strategies to mitigate delay and impact risk;\nIdentify key contract language posing risk in relation to delays and impacts;\nProvide guidance on why and how certain standard contract language (i.e. “no damages for delay” clauses and liquidated damages clauses) should be modified in pre-contract negotiations;\nOutline steps for effectively documenting delay during construction to support requests for additional time and money;\nIdentify contractual pitfalls to be avoided during construction to preserve the contractor’s rights to additional time and money;\nProvide guidance on proactively addressing disputes during performance of the work and after completion;\nPresent an overview of how a delay claim is properly developed\, supported\, and prosecuted to give the claim the best chance of success.\n\nThis seminar will be hosted by ABC Eastern PA Member: \nHENDRICK PHILLIPS SALZMAN & SIEGEL\, P.C.

Series 3 of this set of class will begin in January 2023 \nSession 1: Customer Service & Sales (October 19\, 2022) \nMost business owners are looking for the latest marketing strategy\, a new source of leads\, or a fairy-tale salesperson who is going to come in and turn all the prospects into customers without breaking a sweat. As awesome as these strategies sound\, they rarely work out. But wait! There’s good news! The secret to growing your business is very likely right under your nose. In fact\, we have found that most businesses obliviously leave a percentage of their current revenues on the table every year. This workshop will show you a proven sales methodology that will not only bring in new customers but create repeat business for years to come. \n  \nSession 2: Understanding Your Numbers (November 2\, 2022) \nAre you confused by your financial statements? Do you have trouble recognizing what they are telling you? This workshop will help you quickly master the fundamentals and develop a comprehensive understanding of how they work\, how to interpret them accurately\, and how to use their information to make more effective\, better-informed business decisions that have a positive impact on your organization’s bottom line. You will also learn the importance of a dashboard and how to easily set one up for your company. \n  \nSession 3: Personal Performance (November 16\, 2022) \nCritical thinking is a lost art. Whether you are refining operations\, evaluating strategic plans\, or brainstorming better ways to assist customers\, businesses with the best ideas come out on top. This workshop will teach you how to recognize key mistakes that company leaders make which undermine their effectiveness at running and growing a company.  You will also walk away with tips that you can implement immediately to improve your personal performance and help you reach your full potential to build an amazing team.  If YOU want to build an amazing team\, it starts with YOU! \n  \nSession 4: What is Your USP? & Communication (November 30\, 2022) \nAre you tired of feeling invisible in your field\, of not being recognized for your talents and expertise? Are you losing potential customers to your competitors solely because your prices are higher? Many professionals have felt the same way and decided to do something about it. The answer lies in the strength and value of your USP. This workshop will teach you the art and science of identifying what sets you apart and turning that into a brand that will make you more valuable and memorable than others in your field. \nThis Seminar is Hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Development

Series 1 will be held on Wednesday\, August 24th\, September 7th\, September 21st & October 5th. Series 2 will start October 19th and Series 3 will start up in 2023. \nSession 1: Leader’s Right Mindset (August 24\, 2022) \nMany people believe that being the owner\, boss or holding some sort of management position is what defines leadership. Paramount Business Development\, Inc. KNOWS this is totally false. True leadership is hard\, and it is not something that can be achieved overnight.

When a company can communicate correctly\, employees can experience an increase in morale\, productivity\, and commitment. How well do you communicate with your team? More importantly\, how often do you communicate with your team? Join us as we discuss real life examples of communication problems in companies and how you can better lead your team to success. \n  \nSession 3: When Things Go Awry?! (September 21\, 2022) \nWe’ve discussed how crucial workplace communication is to a company\, but what happens when things go wrong? Not all problems can be anticipated or resolved. People are complicated and there’s no owner’s manuals. This workshop will review communication strategies\, discuss real life conflicts within organizations\, and present several effective strategies to handle those conflicts. \n  \nSession 4: Managing Overwhelm (October 5\, 2022) \nAre you feeling pressured by deadlines?  Is there never enough time in the day?  Are you working longer and longer hours\, while getting further behind? Win your time back in this 4-hour workshop where we will show you how to master your use of time\, complete your most critical tasks\, and overcome that constant feeling of being overwhelmed. \nThis seminar will be hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Development.

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.
