New methods of managing acquiring\, nurturing and retaining talent will be essential for a competitive organization. In this half-day workshop\, a series of presenters will bring tools ever y HR leader should have in their toolkit and executive should hear. \ ;\n \;\nSession 1 (8:00 – 9:00 a.m.): \;\nFrom Start-Up to High-Gr owth: Shaping a Culture for Success \;\nThe shift from a start-up cu lture has caused many promising companies to stumble. EthicsPoint presi dent and CEO David Childers will present the step-by-step process his co mpany took to consciously reconstruct its corporate culture. This two-ye ar-long project has helped EthicsPoint exceed growth and revenue expecta tions and position itself for international expansion. \;\n \;\n Session 2 (9:00 – 10:00 a.m.) \;\nTurning the Job They Have Into the Job They Want \;\nFor many companies the downturn has stalled growth \, which in turn has left employees feeling “stuck” in their jobs. This dissatisfaction can be especially difficult in technology companies whe re employees are attracted to working fast paced growth and changing env ironments. Via Skype\, Dr. Jane Dutton from University of Michigan wil l share the Job Crafting Exercise\, a low cost\, powerful tool that the Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship has developed. \;\n& #13\;\nSession 3 (10:15 – 11:15 a.m.) \;\nPerformance Appraisals – Th e Next Act \;\nFew issues in management stir up more controversy than performance appraisal. \;\n \;\nThere are many reputable sources - researchers\, management commentators\, psychometricians - who have ex pressed doubts about the validity and reliability of the performance app raisal process. Some have even suggested that the process is so inherent ly flawed that it may be impossible to perfect it. At the other extreme \, there are many strong advocates of performance appraisal. Some view i t as potentially the most crucial aspect of organizational life (Lawrie\ , 1990). Dr. Steve Hunt will talk about how the performance management process is shifting from an administrative process used to justify pay d ecisions to a forward focused tool for enabling business execution. \;\n \;\nComplete workshop information can be found here: http:/ /www.techamerica.org/talentmanagementworkshop \;\n \;\nDetails: 3\;\nWhen: Thursday\, September 30\, 2010 \;\nTime: 7:30 – 11:30 a. m. \;\nWhere: Multnomah Athletic Club\, 1849 SW Salmon St.\, Portlan d\, Ore. \;\nCost: $195 TechAmerica Members\, $225 Nonmembers (Group rates available - email kari.naone@techamerica.org for details) \;\n \n\nTags: talent management\, professional development\, training\, huma n resources\, hr\, human resource\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org /events/1250459190 URL:http://www.techamerica.org/talentmanagementworkshop SUMMARY:TechAmerica Talent Management Workshop: Tools for the Twenty Firs t Century Workforce LOCATION:Multnomah Athletic Club (MAC): 1849 Sw Salmon St\, Portland OR 9 7205 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T002313Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181103T130000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181103T100000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T002313Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T002313Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250474426 DESCRIPTION:Want to take your career to the next level? \;\nPractical\ , Hands-on Training for Advanced Excel Formulas &\; Functions \;\n \;\nMicrosoft Excel is perhaps the most important computer software program used in business today.

According to Payscale\, “ 80 percent of job openings requir e spreadsheet and word-processing software skills. Yet so many people ne ver even give Excel a chance because it has an intimidating stigma aroun d it.” \;\n \;\nIf you walk through the finance or accounting depa rtment at any major corporate office\, you will see computer screens fil led with Excel spreadsheets outlining financial results\, budgets\, fore casts\, and plans used to make big business decisions.
