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.

SUMMARY:Hiring & Retaining for 2023 & Beyond Especially the Younger Generation
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will show you the keys to being successful with hiring and retaining employees today-especially the younger generations.  Have you have wondered why your retention rate is low?  Have you been “ghosted?”  Have you hired people who became 90-day wonders or turned into Godzilla?  Do you wonder why the younger workers seem to flock to other companies?  Based on recent relative research we will show you what is important and how to use it to make a difference. \nThis class is hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Development

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.
