Presenters:
Colleen Wong-Sala (Vortex Connect)
This presentation is not available for Certification.
Long are the days of just using a cellphone for emergency purposes only! The world of media and technological convergence has become a driver for businesses to adopt the use of smartphones and tablets in their daily operations. Comsumerization of these smart and tablet products span all generations and they make our lives easier. If you have ever used a mobile app to do banking or similar tools, you know that logging into a computer to do these same tasks seems like an ancient process. Mobile applications are able to reach a broader audience, communicate data in real time and provide a full audit trail of the interactions / activities which cannot be done through standard email. By being able to communicate to your employees through multiple touch points like email, web mail, portals, social networks and mobile, business leaders are turning to their HR teams to become their strategic, mobile stakeholders. Employees are the assets of any company and who knows more about managing a workforce then HR.
By mobilizing an existing HRIS system, organizations can see a higher ROI on their current infrastructure. The process of business-to-employee (B2E) communications thought mobile apps, aligns several departments like HR and IT, so that they have a single vision of the desired process from extending, existing corporate policies and compliances, to improving workforce productivity and lowering operating costs. The webinar will cover topics of mobile data security, workforce compliance like collective bargaining agreements, managing over time and independent contractors. By mobilizing the current HR processes it provides a greater ROI on the existing systems already in place, reduces and mitigates potential grievances.

Getting the Most Out of an Online Benefits Enrollment System
Presenters:
Paul Jelinek (Ultimate Software)
In this session participants will learn about three very important concepts that if implemented properly will enable their employees to make informed benefit decisions. The three concepts that will be discussed are:
• Benefits Communication – this is the most basic of the three concepts that will be discussed. Because there is a lot more to consider than a benefit plans premium cost, this concept focuses on the importance of providing employees with instant access to additional plan details. These details include information on deductibles, co-pays, out of pocket maximums, prescription drug costs, etc.
• Education – because employees do not understand the most basic concepts when it comes to benefit plans, HR departments are often inundated with questions about benefits from their employees. Common questions include: what is the difference between a PPO and HMO, how does a co-pay work, what benefit plan would you recommend, etc. With this in mind, it is important that employers employ tools that will help educate employees on benefit plan fundamentals so that they are empowered to make informed benefits decisions on their own.
• Decision Support – this is the most advanced of the three concepts and is what enables employees to holistically evaluate the many benefit plans being offered to them. In the simplest form, decision support tools enable employees to compare available benefit plans side by side. Using the most sophisticated approach, tools can be used to recommend benefit plans based on an employee’s response to specific questions about themselves and family members.
After completing this session, participants will walk away knowing the importance of benefits communication, education and decision support and and ideas for employing them using their online benefits enrollment systems.

HR - Unlikely Heroes in Many Ways: How YOU! Can Help Your Organization Win the “War for Talent”!
Presenters:
Ed Colby (Sumtotal Systems Inc)
For how long have we in HR stated the often abused adage people are our most important asset”? Unfortunately, this adage is all too often given short shrift and forgotten in the hustle and bustle of daily, reactionary work crises. In today’s era of global economic upheaval, it’s never been truer that “people are our most important asset”, as well as the last major area of controllable expense and improvement in operational effectiveness.
Organizations have spent the past 20 years “Lean-ing out” the inefficiencies, and “Six-Sigma-ing” the quality of their supply chains and operational processes. However, they have not applied the same rigor, management science and automation to getting the most out of their people asset. Ensuring “the right number, of the right people, at the right place, at the right time, and at the right cost” has never been more important for competitive survival, and for HR! See how championing Workforce Management leading practices and tools can help HR become the hero in driving organizations to higher performance and competitive strength.
HR’s role has traditionally been viewed as acquiring, developing, managing the performance of, rewarding, and retaining top talent. Until very recently, WFM as an operational discipline has not traditionally been viewed as being part of HR’s role in the organization, and hasn’t received much visibility in professional HR circles. However, the current global “war for talent” caused by today’s “flat” global marketplace and the reality of the US workforce age and skill demographics make it imperative that organizations make the most effective use of the talent they already have in place!
Workforce Management is more than just Timekeeping and paying people right…it has evolved and matured into a broader suite of critical application tools and practices that help manage the availability and efficient utilization of labor, thereby increasing productivity and operational performance, resulting in a de facto net effective increase in organizational capacity! Beyond this, WFM helps reduce labor expense, minimize compliance risk, and increase employee morale, engagement, loyalty and retention.
Discover why the “hot” management concept of Workforce Management (Time and Attendance; Absence and Leave Management; Workforce Budgeting, Forecasting and Scheduling; Workforce Tasks/Activities; Workforce Analytics) is the quickest path to a higher-performing organization. Learn why HR must become the organizational catalyst for WFM and how to become the internal champion for automation that returns unchallengeable financial and business benefits of optimizing your current people asset. Learn how YOU can become a hero in your organization by understanding and realizing the full value of Workforce Management in increasing operational effectiveness - thereby realizing a net increase in effective capacity and productivity without adding staff!

How to Provide Value to HR with New Web 2.0 Reference-Checking
Presenters:
Ray Bixler (SkillSurvey, Inc.)
SESSION DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR HRCI CREDIT/CODE.
Provide extra value to your HR team. Learn how new Web 2.0 reference-checking allows your HR executives, recruiters and hiring managers to uncover and avoid the 3-5% of candidates who are bad-hires.
The result is a documented savings of thousands of dollars in salaries and hiring costs on candidates who are not a good fit. Users of the technology also receive pivotal feedback from five references in two days, and recruiters receive a report showing which candidates have desirable behaviors and skills. Results are scientifically validated to predict long-term success for a specific position.
Feedback received from these reference assessments can also be used to plan or adjust onboarding procedures and training. For example, a candidate with little CRM experience, but with high scores for customer service skills from the reference information, may be a potential fit for the organization in a customer service role if additional training on CRM systems is provided within the first 90 days of employment.
Recruiters who use the new technology receive: 5 references in 2 days for each candidate, candid feedback about behaviors and skills, and scores that identify which candidates to pause a hiring decision for.
Improve your HR team’s entire hiring strategy by obtaining information about behaviors and skills that scientifically predict a candidate’s success for a position. Improve reference-checking efficiency by 85%.
Participants will learn: What Web 2.0 reference-checking means; how to improve quality-of-hire immediately; how to improve reference-checking efficiency by 85%; how to infuse consistency, reliability and validity into each reference-check; and what the science is that’s driving online reference assessments.
Who should attend? HRIS and shared services professionals, recruiters, talent acquisition staff, and HR executives.
