Kriesti Bunch, Chief Academic Officer, Somerset ISD
Creating higher levels of accountability in business seems to be a topic on every corporation’s agenda. Most companies can draw a link between the results they are achieving and the level of accountability they see manifested throughout their organization. Knowing how to create and sustain a culture of accountability for most organizations is the greatest challenge.
How do successful organizations enable their people to take ownership for delivering on their intended results? Staying competitive usually means finding practical answers to that question. Creating higher levels of ownership often drives better results and increases the value and growth of the company. To be truly effective in today’s corporate environment, leaders must be able to help find ways to create higher levels of ownership and joint accountability for achieving key results.

Speaker: Denise Landin, JD
Topic: Millennials in the Workplace
The generation labeled as so many things, from entitled to lazy to the generation that won’t grow up, is growing into the largest employed age group in the workplace. Whether the labels are accurate or not, one thing is certain: Millennials are impacting the workplace. Some of the perks, flexible work arrangements and technology that appeal to Millennials have a legal impact on employers and require changes to policies.
Speaker: Dr. George Benson
Topic: Developing a Performance Feedback Culture
Performance appraisal systems are evolving to refocus on coaching and dialog between managers and employees. George Benson will present current research on performance appraisal systems that encourage frequent, honest, and developmental feedback to improve performance and engage employees. In particular we will discuss the roles of HR and organizational leaders in promoting a positive performance feedback culture.

Preventing loss, Liability and Litigation while keeping Criminals, Creeps, and Crazies out of your company.
Mike Coffey
Almost half of new hires will fail within 18 months.
With estimates of the cost of a bad hire ranging anywhere from $10,000 to $250,000, getting new employee selection right is critical to business success.
While not all bad hires are predictable based on the employees’ past performance and behavior, many are.
In this presentation, Mike Coffey, SPHR will outline a thorough background screening process that begins with a risk-based analysis of the position, identifies red-flag behaviors of concern for the position, includes a thorough employment application and interview process, and ends with verification of the information provided by the applicant.
He will also discuss important legal compliance issues, including the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the EEOC’s guidance on employers’ use of criminal history, and the growing Ban-the-Box movement.

As the workforce ages the retention and engagement of our people is taking center stage for many leadership teams. Despite the focus, voluntary quits are at an all-time high, and only about a third of the average workforce is engaged. Clearly, we have work to do!
Given the challenges, what does the future look like for employee engagement? Will robots and artificial intelligence eliminate so many jobs it doesn’t matter? Will the gig economy reduce the importance of engagement?
In this session we will peer in to the future of employee engagement and discuss where it seems to be headed.

Speaker: Beverly Parker, PHR, SHRM-CP
Topic: Gen Z: The Future of the Workforce
Generation Z is beginning to arrive in the workplace, and senior professionals may worry they will be outpaced or even replaced. Hiring managers and HR professionals can find themselves in a tough spot as they work with multiple generations. Differences in mindsets, priorities, and skill sets must be used to strengthen organizations and HR is often tasked with breaking down the barriers that can lead to fear, stress and anxiety. As generations mix, HR is also faced with various legal issues, including potential age discrimination claims by older workers. Different generations often have different sensibilities, which may also give rise to conduct that may be offensive and unwelcome. By effectively handling these conflicts, HR can protect the employer from potential claims under Title VII and various other employment laws. We will discuss some of the reasons behind each generations’ fears and ways for HR professionals to help overcome them.
Speaker: Ryan Searles
Topic: Active Shooter Response Training
We often associate active shooter incidents with schools, but most people aren’t aware that active shooter incidents happen at businesses twice as often. These events can dramatically impact operations, lives, and communities. While we may feel as though we have no control over this alarming trend, organizational leaders are obligated to prepare their organizations to respond if faced with such a situation. In this session, we’ll discuss how to gather, assess, and synthesize external environmental information related to active shooter incidents to ultimately guide your organization through strategic decisions that will improve the company’s competitive advantage to stay in business, should such a tragic event occur. Attendees will gain knowledge regarding best available risk management strategies regarding this topic, including avoidance, mitigation, and acceptance.
