BUSINESS SKILLS FOR THE HR professional NEXT LEVEL EVENTS

·

GENESIS III, UNION TRAIN STATION

1400 W. MARKHAM

LITTLE ROCK, AR 72202

Some companies may question the need for having a Human Resources department, especially when they are on a tight budget. After all, HR is a department that doesn’t produce any revenue. This leads to some people viewing HR professionals as nothing short of individuals that try to prevent them from accomplishing what they want with their business. This is why it is important to hone the skills that make YOU a better business professional.

KEYNOTE: WHAT EMPLOYERS WANT IN HR PROFESSIONALS Calvin Colbert Challenger, Gray & Christmas This session focuses on the primary skill areas that HR professionals need to develop or enhance to become successful business partners in their organizations. Making the transition to a more strategic role requires that HR professionals learn more about how their business operates and how HR can maximize its value to the organization. As HR professionals perform more effectively, they will be recognized by line executives, managers and employees as critical partners-a fundamental shift in the way HR interacts with other departments. This program has been approved for 1 Strategic Business recertification credit hour toward PHR, SPHR and GPHR recertification through the HR Certification Institute. The use of this seal is not an endorsement by the HR Certification Institute of the quality of the program. It means that this program has met the HR Certification Institute’s criteria to be pre-approved for recertification credit.

STRATEGIC THINKING: THINKING OUTSIDE THE HR BOX Becky Parkerson, CPLP, PTi Learning & Performance As the HR profession continues to evolve, HR practitioners must – like their peers in other functions adopt a big-picture mindset. Becoming a Strategic Business Partner requires expanding your vision beyond typical HR topics to deliver results that will make you a credible, indispensable part of the leadership team. By building performance solutions around key business needs, implementing innovative, future-focused “people initiatives,” and developing a wide-ranging network of collaborators, you can boost the value of HR and enhance your career. CERTIFICATION PENDING

HOW TO TALK TO YOUR BOSS ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE Matt Lowrey, PHR, Performance Foodservice As the Human Resources profession continues to move from a largely tactical, administrative function – managing time, compliance, and risk – to a more strategic role, focused on creating value for the business, the HR Business Partner must connect care and concern for employees to business deliverables. The CEO is focused on financially-driven issues like sales numbers, profitability, customer retention, and market share. HR needs to map these issues to related HR topics: employee’s performance results and productivity; learning, development, and succession; recruitment; and compensation. Meeting Your Boss at the Bottom Line will offer a strategic guide to aligning organizational vision with an enterprise talent management strategy. We will demonstrate how a combination of business acumen and a solution-centric outlook are critical to driving impact on the big things that keep your CEO up at night. This program has been approved for 1 Strategic Businessrecertification credit hour toward PHR, SPHR and GPHR recertification through the HR Certification Institute. The use of this seal is not an endorsement by the HR Certification Institute of the quality of the program. It means that this program has met the HR Certification Institute’s criteria to be pre-approved for recertification credit.

BUSINESS SKILLS FOR THE HR professional MARKETING HR AS VALUE TO THE ORGANIZATION Richard Cooper, SPHR, Arkansas Blue Cross & Blue Shield The evolving role of a Human Resource professional – as a strategic business partner, operational and administrative specialist, and a balance between employee/employer advocate – requires that HR professionals become proficient internal marketers. Effectively soliciting and sustaining stakeholder commitment can make or break HR initiatives. Learn how to increase your HR department’s brand awareness as a valued contributor to business outcomes and employee satisfaction.

CERTIFICATION PENDING

CHANGE MANAGEMENT: HR AS CHANGE CHAMPION Stephanie Ungerank, USAble Life Insurance Company Change management is a core business competency that leverages knowledge of individual and organizational dynamics to guide evolutionary - and sometimes revolutionary - transitions. As an HR professional, you may be called upon - in partnership with executives, managers, and employees – to serve as a change architect, change demonstrator, or change facilitator. If you are equipped to successfully navigate the path of change, your efforts can drive long-term improvement and expand the role of the HR function within your organization. This program has been approved for 1 Strategic Business recertification credit hour toward PHR, SPHR and GPHR recertification through the HR Certification Institute. The use of this seal is not an endorsement by the HR Certification Institute of the quality of the program. It means that this program has met the HR Certification Institute’s criteriaapproved for recertification credit.

See more details on page 11 or on our website: http://www.hrmaar.org/

What people are saying about the HRMA Advancement Series: I had to overcome obstacles this year in order to make each meeting (time factor, rain, traffic jams, road construction etc). In the end it was all well worth it! The knowledge that I received from each module along with the people that I have connected with in the HR world are invaluable. ~ Carolyn James Sudden Link

The HR Advancement Series presented by HRMA is a breath of fresh air. They are timely in their delivery, on topic for today's dynamic HR environment and rich in content. The style of the presenters is welcoming and engages the audience for a well rounded learning experience! ~ Carla Price, PHR Travel Nurse Across America

As a small business owner, I need information to manage my business and staff in a legally sound manner. The HRMA Advancement series not only met my needs; it exceeded my expectations. I am recommending this Series to my associates. ~ Judy Jones Sims, RDH, CEO a'TEST Consultants

As a past participant and speaker for HRMA Advancement Series, I would recommend it to HR professionals of all levels. The series provides a great learning opportunity to those new to the profession and a best practices refresher for those of us that have been around for a while. ~ Alicia Wilkins, SPHR Truck Centers of Arkansas

The Advancement Series was informative and enjoyable to attend. The atmosphere is laid back and casual and there is a lot of interaction between the presenter and the class. So you are not just getting one person’s point of view but potentially everyone in the class’. It is always beneficial to find out how other companies handle situations. And an added plus is that the casual atmosphere also makes it easy to get to better know the other members of HRMA that are attending each month. ~ Belinda Horton, PHR Dassault Falcon Jet
