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:Executive Leadership Development Series 3
DESCRIPTION:This is a 4 week course that will be held on Wednesday\, March 9th\, March 23rd\, April 6th & April 20th from 8:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. \nSession 1: Driving Success Through Business Development (March 23\, 2022) \nHave you worked hard throughout your career but still find yourself struggling to get the results you thought you’d get? Does it feel like growing a successful\, profitable business is just out of reach? This workshop will teach you simple\, proven methods to increase your profits without increasing your hours spent at work. We will also share Paramount’s ‘5 Way Power Play’ to start increasing your profits NOW! \nSession 2: Team Performance (April 6\, 2022) \nTeam performance is a critical element of what makes or breaks a business. Often managers can be so focused on the mechanics of the business that they forget the people behind it are what’s driving everything. As a leader\, you want to maximize team performance. But how do you do that? Team performance depends on several factors but fortunately\, many of them are within your control. This workshop will show you how to reach that maximum impact within your business. \nSession 3: High Performance Culture (April 20\, 2022) \n“Take care of your people and they will take care of your customers.” Unfortunately\, this statement is easier said than done. It takes a very strong leader to develop and communicate on a daily basis to employees the “big picture” of where the company is headed and why that is beneficial from the employee’s perspective.  Team members will never create your desired culture if they don’t even know what you expect of them. Do you know what type of company culture you have? Do you want to learn the secrets of creating a healthy\, competitive culture? Join us for this 4-hour workshop! \nSession 4: Managing Work/Life Balance (May 4\, 2022) \nSadly\, there have been times where work takes precedence over everything else in our lives. Our desire to succeed professionally can push our own well-being to the back burner. Creating a harmonious work-life balance is critical for not only you\, but your career as well. Employers who are committed to providing this type of environment for their employees save on costs\, absenteeism\, and enjoy a more loyal and productive workforce. This workshop will give you tips and strategies to find that equilibrium and achieve balance at work and in your personal life. \nThis seminar will be hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Solutions \n
