SUMMARY:Planning for the Day You Leave Your Business: Leadership for What Comes Next
DESCRIPTION:You started and nurtured your business into what it’s become today. The journey\, whether measured over several years or a lifetime\, has had its share of ups and downs. Sweat equity is something experienced first-hand and can be measured.\n\nMany owners work “in” versus “on” their business. They seldom take the time to step back and examine their business as an outsider. Have you contemplated what comes next? How should you lead the organization so that the business thrives and your legacy\, however defined\, continues?\n\n“Nothing is certain but death and taxes” is an adage we’ve all heard. But business owners can add a third certainty: you will leave your business one day. Join us on June 1st at 8:00am and learn about a framework to prepare for that inevitable day so that you can leave on your terms: when you want\, for the money you need\, to the people you know and trust.

SUMMARY:A CHANGE IS GONNA COME – WHAT OSHA’S RECENT POLICY REVISIONS MAY MEAN FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
DESCRIPTION:Join Saul Ewing’s Michael Metz-Topodas for a discussion on OSHA’s Recent Policy Revisions. \n  \nAlthough OSHA’s targeted construction hazards remain largely unchanged—falls\, cave-ins\, struck-by\, electrocution—its enforcement mechanisms have undergone enhancement in the past few months. Between increased inspector hirings\, modifications to the Severe Violator Enforcement Program\, and revisions to OSHA’s “instance-by-instance” violation policy\, safety enforcement could take on new dimensions this year and beyond. Michael Metz-Topodas will break down all of these changes an engaging and illustrative presentation\, then take your questions so you can prepare for this new OSHA environment\, all without losing focus on safety’s paramount importance to any construction project.

SUMMARY:How One Company Used Data to Reduce Turnover\, Increase Engagement\, and Become an Employer of Choice by Leveraging the Predictive Index
DESCRIPTION:We are often left to manage our teams through a series of educated guesses and trial and error. This can lead to miscommunication\, disengagement\, and oftentimes\, turnover. However\, we are in an talent market that compels us to make efficient and informed hiring decisions\, hold onto our top performers\, and get new talent up and running in record time. The landscape that business leaders must navigate gets more complicated with each day that passes. \nJoin us for this interactive session where we will share how Kreischer Miller leveraged the insights\, data\, and science of the Predictive Index to make better hiring decisions\, keep our hybrid workforce engaged\, and reduce turnover internally and for our clients. We’ll also share a case study that demonstrates how employees can utilize the Predictive Index behavioral assessment and tools to gain a greater understanding of their behaviors that result from their drives and needs\, thus helping them become more engaged and productive members of the team. \nDuring this session\, you will: \n\nGain a deeper understanding of the risks of not optimizing your talent\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\nThis seminar will be hosted by ABC Member Kreischer Miller.
