CFO - Employees Today and Tomorrow

NEW EVENT

The war for talent is ongoing. We review four topics, concentrating on today's employment realities, getting the most from your team, how to attract and retain talent, how utilizing the employment life cycle can deliver better performance, and how re-invigorating careers (yours and others) can make our professional role easier and deliver better financials. The cost of 'mismanagement' is huge, and we discuss tactics to help you and your colleagues improve. You and your team can do better, and we will help you discuss how.

This day of the CFO Series will focus on these four topics

• Are Employees Assets? Today's New Employment
• The ROI on Your People? Maximizing Returns
• Understand & Enhance the Employee Life Cycle
• Ethics

As the managers' role continues to evolve, it is crucial for us to understand the strategic aspects of managing a diverse workforce, beginning with understanding the big trends in employee demographics. We begin with a rhetorical question - asking if employees are assets? GAAP tells us they are not, but does this treatment bias our view of the people in our organization? What do the most successful organizations do, believe, and why? What are the winning organizations doing that works? If you have an opinion as to whether employees are an asset or not, this is a thoughtful, interactive discussion to highlight what works in today's new employment environment.

• GAAP vs economic value of employees
• The changing landscape of work
• The need to change management tactics
• Different generations and demographics
• Understanding the differences
• What issues do they present
• How do we improve our understanding
• Employee engagement/assessment surveys and what they should tell us
• Successful tactics for today's workforce

Objectives: 

1. Recognize the numerous significant external factors and trends in today's workplace.
2. Discover how we need to transform our management and leadership tactics to thrive in the next twenty years.

Employees drive the written and unwritten culture at your organization. Understanding the key workplace issues and how to solve them in today's environment can maximize the returns that employees provide for an organization. We take a deep dive into the research behind the larger issues with our workforce and discuss multiple practical solutions that will enhance your leadership and growth.

Many organizations have a documented process for their employment life cycle but do not look at it wholistically. Having a longer view of the employee life cycle can provide more value to your company than you think. Join us for an interactive discussion around the entire life cycle of employees with best practices discussed on continuous improvement for your organization.
