Snack provided by sponsor. The function of Human Resources is changing. Today, many people still view the role of the Human Resource department as the compliance department or the place you go to get advice on how to deal with hiring, firing, medical leave, regulatory compliance, payroll, and employee relations. While these functions are a necessary part of having employees, Fortune 500 companies are increasingly making Human Resources a “C” level position and a key department responsible for long-term growth. Strategic planning, succession planning, culture development, and people development are essential to the success of any organization large or small. As a business owner, how much time and energy are you devoting to these vital elements of your long-term success? It is time to start thinking BIG! In this session we will be covering 3 main topics: 1. Strategic Planning- Do you have a 1, 3, and 5 year plan? Are your employees involved in the planning process. 2. Succession Planning- As your company grows, do you have key employees that share your vision and can manage the business in your absence? 3. Organizational Development- Do your employees possess the skills and knowledge to help you achieve the goals you have set for your organization?
