LUNCHEON PROGRAM OVERVIEW

9:00 am – 9:50 am (Each Session limited to 65 participants)
Session A: Counseling and Coaching for Improved Performance
Presented by Julien C. Carter, Associate VP for Human Resource Services, UT at Austin, JD
Managers want better performance from employees, and employees want better feedback from managers. When managers know more about employees’ performance motivations, they are better able to link employees to appropriate tasks, projects, products - and help the organization achieve its goals.

Session B:The Case for Strategic Talent Management Part 1
Presented by: MaryBeth Mongillo, Ph.D, founder of Factor 5 Consulting
What does it matter that you hire the best and brightest talent if you do nothing with them after they show up to work? In competitive environments where the work is getting more complex and the workforce is shrinking, it is imperative that an organization be able to maximize its talent to meet business needs. In this workshop, key concepts of talent management will be taught through real life examples from the instructor’s work experience.

Presented by: MaryBeth Mongillo, Ph.D, founder of Factor 5 Consulting

In this workshop you will learn the purpose of budgets and how they are used to help ensure that the organization achieves its financial goals.

3:10 pm – 4:00 pm (Each Session limited to 65 participants)
Session A: Conflict Management
Presented by Pat Schnee, Lead Trainer, UTPDC
Disagreements can occur anytime and anywhere. However, when managed properly, workplace conflict can lead to positive outcomes such as improved processes, more effective communication, and greater employee involvement. Develop constructive and practical solutions to actual conflicts at your job. Discover your own natural conflict-resolution style and how you can adjust it to avoid unnecessary interpersonal problems.

Session B: A Strategic Approach to Compliance
Presented by Donna D. Howard, SPHR, VP Human Resources for Sonic Healthcare USA
HR professionals deal with a staggering array of federal, state, and local government regulations on a routine basis. If you are responsible for overseeing your company’s overall compliance, you need to think and act at a strategic level, as well as be able to examine the organization to measure the effectiveness of compliance efforts. This workshop provides information to help plan how your organization will comply with major components of employment and labor law. It also provides tools and training to conduct your own employment and labor law audit.
