1.25 SHRM PDC’s Approved and HRCI Pending
Our interactive program focuses on understanding VUCA and how best to overcome these aspects for the benefit of your organization and your own career.
Due to mergers and acquisitions, a changing government landscape, regulatory decisions, and globalization implications (just to name a few factors), today’s workplace is Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous. HR professionals must learn how to lead in a VUCA environment. This VUCA doctrine underscores the importance of strategic decision-making, readiness planning, risk management, and situational problem-solving. To overcome VUCA, you will learn four key leadership strategies: Vision, Understanding, Clarity, and Agility. After presenting key concepts, Helen and Matt will facilitate a case study with participants working in small breakouts to develop your own ideas about VUCA leadership and how to apply Vision, Understanding, Clarity, and Agility to navigate your company’s circumstances.
This topic will appeal to senior professionals who are entrusted to provide organizational strategy and direction within their respective organizations. It will provide language and tools which will allow participants to further develop their skills in critical thinking, strategic planning, and leadership development. It will allow participants to engage more impactfully with senior management and enhance their impact on their organization’s vision, strategic goals, and bottom line.

Cat's Paws, Overtime, and Harassment, Oh My! Things that Go Bump in the Workplace (Even after Halloween)
2016-11-03 07:30 - 10:00 | Crowne Plaza, King of Prussia, 260 Mall Blvd., King of Prussia, PA, 19406, United States
Approved for 1.25 SHRM PDC’s and HRCI credits
Breakfast and Registration Begins at 7:30 AM, Program Begins at 8:00 AM
This presentation will provide a brief explanation of workplace harassment, how to recognize it, and both the responsibilities of an employee who has witnessed or been subjected to workplace harassment and the agency that has been put on notice of allegations of workplace harassment. The presentation will also address Conducting workplace investigations which is one of the most challenging duties that HR professionals must take on. Workforce demographics are shifting. New laws are constantly popping up. Managers make mistakes because they aren’t properly trained or they’re under pressure to resolve complaints quickly. Employees are more aware of their rights. This presentation will answer the riddle What does employment discrimination law have to do with the paws of a cat. The Court in Staub, applying what has come to be known as the “cat’s paw” theory of employer liability, held that an employer may be strictly liable for intentional discrimination under USERRA (and other similar statutes, like Title VII) when a lower-level supervisor intentionally discriminates against an employee and then causes a higher level decision-maker, who has no discriminatory motive or “animus,” to terminate or take some other adverse action against the employee
SPEAKER:
Jason Resiman , Esq , Partner at Blank Rome.

Anyone who manages and hires people should carve out time for networking! 80% of the people who get hired are referred into an organization. An effective hiring manager has a strong network they can rely on to introduce them to their next great hire. This HireOne event was built for employers (Managers and Recruiters) to have an opportunity to meet professionals from various careers (Energy, Information Technology, Healthcare, Financial Services, Manufacturing, and others) to build relationships and a network of associates.
This is a business meeting, not a job fair. Hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be provided by Hire One and AVE Malvern.
If you have any additional questions, please contact Jim Lauckner, Hire One Sr. Project Manager, at 610-321-8231.
This event is funded in part by the Chester County Workforce Development Board.
