Employee Compensation - What Companies are Planning for in 2010
Roll back
description |
nil |
→ |
The economic downturn has caused companies to deploy cost-saving strategies such as pay freezes, pay decreases, layoffs, forced vacations and reduced benefits amongst other initiatives. As companies recover from this downturn, many HR professionals are determining how best to address compensation needs given that introducing costs back into the business will be slower than expected while ensuring employee retention and engagement.
Please join us at this networking event to:
- Learn what high-tech employers in Portland have implemented regarding austerity measures, and are planning to do with merit awards and compensation next year
- Discuss how employers can effectively modify the total rewards package to help the company to survive during the economic downturn
- Gain awareness of legal and compliance issues employers may face in modifying compensation plans
- Obtain tips and guidelines on constructing a proposal to your company about compensation and incentive plans in the coming year
Panelists:
- Bill Erdle, President, William J. Erdle Compensation Consulting, LLC
- Bryan Fix, Head of Human Resources, SolarWorld USA
- Kirsten Solomon, Director of Compensation and Benefits, FLIR Systems
Moderator:
Paul M. Ostroff, Shareholder, Lane Powell PC

Multnomah Food Initiative
Roll back
description |
At Multnomah County we are asking the question âwhat is next for the local food movement?â Thereâs no doubt that Mult Co and Portland region are at the epicenter of a growing national interest in local food. Currently, we have over 20 farmersâ markets, approximately 65 community-supported agriculture farms, and a plethora of restaurants and grocery stores that feature local food.
So the question is: have we arrived or have we just started? Multnomah County believes that we have just started. That is why Multnomah County has launched the Multnomah Food Initiative â a public engagement process that will bring the community together to create a shared vision, shared goals, and the first comprehensive community food action plan in the nation.
Early next year, Mult Co will be hosting a Food Summit to bring together business interests, the health industry, local governments, and the community to create a 15 year roadmap that will do two things: (1) relocalize our food system and (2) make the healthy choice the easy choice for all of us. Multnomah County would like to hear your thoughts on the Food Summit and Food Action Plan. |

So the question is: have we arrived or have we just started? Multnomah County believes that we have just started. That is why Multnomah County has launched the Multnomah Food Initiative â a public engagement process that will bring the community together to create a shared vision, shared goals, and the first comprehensive community food action plan in the nation.
Early next year, Mult Co will be hosting a Food Summit to bring together business interests, the health industry, local governments, and the community to create a 15 year roadmap that will do two things: (1) relocalize our food system and (2) make the healthy choice the easy choice for all of us. Multnomah County would like to hear your thoughts on the Food Summit and Food Action Plan. |

“Product, Project and Program Managers in Product Development: Who’s Responsible for What?”
Roll back

The Oregon chapter of the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) invites you to its November Learning and Networking Event; “Product, Project and Program Managers in Product Development: Who’s Responsible for What?”
Throughout the development of every product, tough decisions have to be made including funding, features, schedule and resources. Three key roles for this process are the product manager, the project manager and the program manager. Three panelists with experience at IBM, HP, and Tektronix will explain each manager’s perspective on the product development process and explore ways to eliminate potential areas of overlap and friction. A Q&A session will follow allowing the audience to clarify points or share additional thoughts on this important topic.
Attending this event will provide you with a clarification of roles and suggestions for how to work more effectively with each position at every stage of a product development cycle.

CHIFOO: Reading and Collaborating in a Digital Age

Reading is an inherently social experience: what we read and how we read it is shaped by who we know and the broader communities we belong to. With that in mind, Cathy Marshall from Microsoft Research will take a fresh look at the future of eBooks and how we get there from here. In particular, she will share some findings from a body of studies of reading-related activities (such as annotation and clipping) and will draw on her experiences with several generations of eBook products, including Microsoft Reader, ePeriodicals (a reader for magazines like The New Yorker and Esquire), and the Times News Reader (an RSS-based reader for The New York Times).
Registration begins 6:30 pm.
Program followed by questions from 7 - 9 pm.
CHIFOO members get in free. Non-members pay $5 to attend the meeting. |

Refresh Portland May: Jared Spool on The Dawning of the Age of Experience
Roll back

Join us for a special installment of Refresh Portland May with Jared Spool! Weâre going to move the meeting a week back to May 21.
---
Experience design is no longer a nice-to-have luxury of a few organizations with tons of money and exceptional visionary management. Itâs become commonplace for organizations that build products and web sites. Experience Design is a centerpiece of boardroom discussions and quickly becoming a key performance indicator for many businesses.
However, you canât just hire a couple of âexperience designersâ and tell them, âGo do that voodoo that you do so well.â Todayâs business environment forces us to build multi-disciplinary teams, compiling a diverse group of skills and experiences to handle the many facets of the technical, business, and user requirements.
In his usual entertaining and insightful manner, Jared will talk about what it takes to build a design team that meets todayâs needs.
Heâll demonstrate how successful Experience Design:
* Must integrate the needs of the users with the requirements of the business
* Is learned, but not available through introspection
* Must be invisible to succeed
* Is cultural
* Is multi-discplinary
* Thrives best in an âeducate and administrateâ environment
Youâll see examples of designs from Appleâs iPod, Netflix, the Mayo Clinic, and Southwest Airlines, to name a few. |
