Passion on Purpose
- Building and Sustaining a High Engagement/High Performance Work Culture
Passion. Not necessarily the personal kind. But an exploratory journey of the passion that intersects with where we make a living. Passion at work.
We know it when see it. An energized workplace. Authentic leadership. Open communication. A culture of consistency, connection, camaraderie and caring. Trust. Personal growth and development. Recognition and fun. Customer loyalty and bottom line business results. The kind of place where everyone wants to work. Where people come first...and profits follow.
This Ryan Estis keynote experience will review the essence of cultivating a high engagement, high performance work culture and challenge conventional thinking with emphasis on innovation and strategy that offer the audience ‘actionable content' to impact the organization immediately.
Key take aways include:
How to Build a ‘Sustainable Talent Advantage'
The Social Culture - Building community and connections in a Web 2.0 World
The 4 C's of Onboarding - Engagement starts at YES
The Leadership Mandate - How to create a ‘workplace experience' where people cannot wait to walk through the door everyday
Andrea's keynote presentation builds its foundation on the research found in The Carrot Principle. Andrea speaks from the groundbreaking findings of a 10-year, 200,000-person study on leadership effectiveness. She also highlights compelling examples of leaders from ordinary organizations that have positively transformed business results through the use of employee recognition. Andrea will then lead a lively discussion of how your organization can build high performance teams that outperform their peers by adopting The Carrot Principle. The presentation concludes with specific examples and hints for leaders who are ready to get started on a recognition strategy or are looking to enhance their current recognition abilities.

Legislative Process 101 & How HR Can Influence It
*This session counts for 1.25 hours of strategic credit.
During this session, Attorney Kramer will take attendees through the basics of the legislative process – the stuff we all learned in high school but either haven’t had to use since then or just don’t remember it all. How a bill becomes a law is the fundamental process of legislative action, and it is important for every citizen to understand that process in order to be an informed advocate.
This session will break the process down to make it less overwhelming and show HR professionals how they can be heard and influence outcomes at the federal, state and local levels.
Additionally, Attorney Kramer will also cover the basic make-up of the law-making bodies at federal, state, and local levels and demonstrate how anyone can access legislative information, find out who their legislators are and track a piece of legislation.

Compensation Program Management in the New Economy
In a time of great economic uncertainty, the challenges of maintaining pay programs that balance internal equity, and external competitiveness has never been more important.
The past decade has seen the smallest merit pay budgets in history, and expectations for 2010 – 2011 indicate this trend will continue. When pay budgets are tight, maintaining an engaged workforce is more challenging than ever. Financial rewards are typically quite limited, and organization leaders are required to seek new, creative ways to motivate the workforce and keep employees engaged.
Our speaker will share his observations and insight about how Wisconsin employers are coping with these challenges today, and will share specific knowledge about the following topics of interest:
Aligning labor costs with economic realities;
Engaging Staff with limited resources; and
Aligning reward systems with Business strategy and performance metrics.
Finally, research has shown that most organizations do not attempt to measure return on investment (ROI) of incentive programs, and see them as a “cost”, rather than an investment. When the focus is on investment, however, leveraging the value of incentives enhances the organization’s ability to engage employees and motivate the workforce to achieve the goals of the organization.

The session is designed to provide an overview of the current landscape of labor and employment laws and give practical tips on how best to position your organization to deal with recent and anticipated changes in workplace laws.
