Developing and Managing Company Policies Related to Social Media Usage
HRCI credits pending
As social media
becomes more prevalent, so too will litigation and employment disputes that arise from its use in the workplace; therefore, it is
absolutely crucial for any size business with employees to have a social media strategy plan when issuing policies and procedures.
Analyzing, managing and developing company policies related to social media usage by employees have become important assignments for
HR professionals in limiting exposure or potential liability for their respective organizations.
This presentation will look
at how strategies for risk prevention, which help protect the bottom line against threats such as disclosure of proprietary information
and cyber-harassment in the work environment, must be balanced with the need for companies to participate and join in the social media
campaign for business success. Provide information to HR professionals how they can develop and implement a social media policy aligned
with their organization's values, ethics and strategic plans.

The Business Case: Why Diversity and Inclusion Are Good For Business
HRCI- Approved for 3 hours of Strategic Credit
If HR and Diversity professionals want to get their organizations behind diversity and inclusion initiatives,
they need to be skilled at making a strong business case for them. It’s not enough to use the typical response of, “it’s the right
thing to do.” We must show how these efforts will drive organizational success, sustainability, profitability, and competitive
advantage. In this presentation, learn how to leverage the internal processes, programs, policies, and practices within your organization
as well as the external environment to build a solid Diversity and Inclusion business case. While highlighting four key steps,
the presenter will outline how these steps fit into a more comprehensive model, called the SHRM Strategic Diversity Management Plan®,
recently developed by SHRM’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion.

Unlocking the Secrets of Silent Defectors
HRCI credits pending
Most of us are rarely surprised
when vocal and outspoken employees choose to leave, but what about the quiet ones? You know the type, and perhaps it was you
-- the employee who never complains or talks about leaving, but who silently stews until he or she leaves without a whisper. In that instance, can you explain what happened? Would you be surprised to learn that higher pay, better benefits, and even
a bad manager may not be the answer? Suitable for managers and HR professionals at all levels in both the public and private
sector, this informative and entertaining program explores the top hidden reasons why employees really leave and offers effective
retention strategies.
