CFO Series Day 3 - Employees Today and Tomorrow

Description

The war for talent is ongoing. We review four topics, concentrating on today's employment realities, getting the most from your team, how to attract and retain talent, how utilizing the employment life cycle can deliver better performance, and how re-invigorating careers (yours and others) can make our professional role easier and deliver better financials. The cost of `mismanagement' is huge, and we discuss tactics to help you and your colleagues improve. You and your team can do better, and we will discuss how?

Are Employees Assets? Today's New Employment
As the managers' role continues to evolve, it is crucial for us to understand the strategic aspects of managing a diverse workforce, beginning with understanding the big trends in employee demographics. We begin with a rhetorical question - asking if employees are assets? GAAP tells us they are not, but does this treatment bias our view of the people in our organization? What do the most successful organizations do, believe, and why? What are the winning organizations doing that work? If you have an opinion as to whether employees are an asset or not, this is a thoughtful, interactive discussion to highlight what works in today's new employment environment.

The ROI on Your People?  Maximizing Returns
Employees drive the written and unwritten culture at your organization. Understanding the key workplace issues and how to solve them in today's environment can maximize the returns that employees provide for an organization. We take a deep dive into the research behind the larger issues with our workforce and discuss multiple practical solutions that will enhance your leadership and growth. How can we realize the most from our staff? 

Understand and Enhance the Employee Life Cycle
Many organizations have a documented process for their employment life cycle but do not look at it holistically. Having a longer view of the employee life cycle can provide more value to your company than you think. Join us for an interactive discussion around the entire life cycle of employees with best practices discussed on continuous improvement for your organization. This session will provide an overview of each of the steps in the timeline from multiple perspectives, to provide keen insights on actionable ideas to take back to your workplace and implement today. A key step to winning the war for talent.

Re-invigorating Your Career: Planning Your Path
A career is a long time and yet looking back it appears to have been in the blink of an eye. If you have ever engaged in discussions with mentors or peer groups you may have heard the, "I wish I had ___." This course is a review of keeping you individually prepared and ready for all the various changes that will make your career. We start with where you are today and where you want to be. We discuss practical tips for professionals to be more prepared for changes that will come over your career. What are my career possibilities? The goal is that some of these ideas discussed will avoid more of the "I wish I had ____," and will convert them to, "I'm so glad I ____." We all have heard the maxim, "Failure to plan is planning to fail." We are planners by nature, let's plan our career and the career of those who report to us.
