Employee recognition programs can ultimately fall short of the desired impact if they are not aligned with your corporate objectives.

When a recognition program is correctly implemented and carried out, recognition is the best way to engage your employees with the mission, vision, and values of your organization. Giving appropriate recognition for the contributions you value will inspire your employees’ enthusiasm, loyalty, and engagement. This session will lay the fundamental groundwork for establishing a recognition initiative that accurately reflects your organizations objectives, and that helps you set your employees on the right course. Learn how to give recognition in a way that helps your employees ‘own’ your organization’s mission.

Launch your learning journey with a high energy start!

Find out about the workshops that will be available, and learn how the IHR certification process works. Throughout this conference you will gain practical ideas and concepts that you will be able to put into practice in your organization.

There’s been increased talk about potential financial penalties for independent contractor (IC) or contract worker misclassification. This is an issue that continues to gain attention throughout the U.S., as various government agencies set their sights on industries once considered safe from IRS and DOL scrutiny. The issue of misclassification arises when the employer and the government entities don’t agree on what constitutes a bona fide IC or an employer has not performed its due diligence in confirming proper IC status. Recognizing that misclassification lawsuits can debilitate a company’s bottom line, organizations are proactively instituting risk mitigation policies.

Today’s webinar will explore of number of topics, including:

• Defining misclassification
• Prevailing trends
• The impact of the President’s 2014 Fiscal Year Budget
• Myths that revolve around the topic
• The differences between bona fide ICs and non-ICs
• Independent Contractor Risk Mitigation Programs
• Best practices in IC management
• Best practices in risk mitigation

This webinar is a must for every individual responsible for the management and/or onboarding of ICs. The workforce is changing and traditional employment practices are changing with it.

The Office of Federal Contracts Compliance Program (OFCCP) continues to scrutinize contractor outreach efforts during compliance reviews. From assessing outreach efforts to the female and minority communities, to reviewing the effectiveness of outreach to the veteran and disabled communities, OFCCP continues to strictly enforce this technical compliance obligation. HOWEVER, while effective outreach may increase the number and diversity of job seekers, it will also significantly impact your applicant flow recordkeeping obligations and associated adverse impact analyses. Join presenters from Jackson Lewis LLP and MAXIMUS, Inc., for this webinar as we discuss effective outreach strategies and best practices for minimizing resulting risk.

Every person recruited by a recruiter or staffing professional has the potentials to create a disaster if the candidate is hired and proves to be dangerous, unqualified, unfit or dishonest.

In this webinar, learn how to legally select honest and qualified people for your clients or organization by using best practices to avoid bad hires and the professional and legal fallout just one bad hiring decision can create. In addition, understand recruiters legal liabilities if a background check are not done right. The session will also cover the legal limits on recruiters using social media as well as the increased focus on practices that do not discriminate.

One outcome of the Great Recession is that companies must now work smarter to acquire talent and manage their workforce programs with fewer resources. This is especially true in HR where increased regulations and more applicants to screen for fewer jobs require doing more with less.

The same holds for Procurement where a streamlined department must turn their attention from pure cost containment on workforce spend to accomplishing ambitious growth objectives. One solution is collaboration.

In this session, Volt Workforce Solutions and Corporate United will join forces to present insights on how contingent workforce solutions are evolving.

In addition, this interactive session also provides ways in which HR and Procurement can work together to increase the value these two essential corporate functions deliver to an organization.

As organizations seek to improve the effectiveness of contingent labor management programs, a holistic view of the workforce and strategies for optimizing spend is essential. A solution that combines information about full time and contingent workforces provides visibility into total talent and allows organizations to more effectively source talent, control costs and manage a blended workforce.

This webcast will provide insight into ways that organizations can achieve visibility into their talent pipeline. Key takeaways from the presentation will include:

• How an integrated system can manage permanent and contingent workforce
• How reporting can be used to change recruitment behavior across your entire workforce
• How technology can be used to drive change through the business
