The Right Talent, Right Now Symposium Series


Onboarding and Retention: Promoting Individual and Business Success

October 15th 

9:00am - 11:30am

*held virtually via ZOOM*


This program has been pre-approved for 2.5 Professional Development Credits (PDCs) by the Society for Human Resource Management and 2.5 HR General credits by the HR Certification Institute


At this pivotal time in our shared history, talent solutions are needed now more than ever.  The unemployment rate for individuals with disabilities and many minority populations is at alarming levels, while businesses struggle to fill job openings and to find the right talent, right now. How do we survive and thrive in this new normal? How does Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) adjust to these times? How do underserved populations find a workplace that feels like home? Our impactful educational and professional development series offers three sessions that give organizational leaders, workforce preparation agencies, and Human Resource/Staffing professionals the opportunity to learn strategies for improving employment results. This ultimately improves business outcomes through attracting, retaining and advancing the broadest diversity in talent. Join us!


Many business segments struggle with 100% or more annual turnover rate costing billions. Gallup reports worker engagement (involved, enthusiastic, and committed to their workplace) in June 2020 was 31%. We desperately need innovative retention and advancement strategies that leverage all employees’ skills and potential.  

This session will include:

Expert solutions on onboarding, employee development and advancement

Out-of-the-box partnering to solve outside obstacles like child care and transportation

Understanding the law when it comes to accommodating disability and other situations

Why millennials and zennials are demanding CSR 

Employees’ perspectives on why they are job-hopping     


Attendees will learn:

  • Attendees will hear expert solutions on onboarding, employee development and advancement
  • Participants will gain a greater understanding of the law when it comes to accommodating disability and other situations
  • Attendees will discover why millennials and zennials are demanding Corporate Social Responsibility
  • Participants will be challenged to think of out-of-the-box partnering to solve outside obstacles like child care and transportation

FAQ
Q: Can I use my Amex card?
A: Sadly no. Our payment processor does not accept American Express. Visa, Mastercard, Discover, pay at the door or invoice are your only options.

Q: I can't login
A: Your login is your email address that you used to register and login at www.shrm.org , and your password is as assigned by us. If this is your first time logging in, use the password reset to send your email a password reset request. If you change your email on the SHRM.ORG site, only your NEW email will give you member rates. Registering with your old email after you've changed the basic email address will show you your existing or old registrations, but new registrations need to be done with the new email address. If you are not a SHRM member then you registered separately on the site. This registration password can be retrieved by either entering your username or email in the "retrieve password" section on the login screen. If you are still having trouble logging in - check with us at events@gvcshrm.org.

Q: No Member Rates showing
A: You only see member rates if you are logged in and the system believes you are a SHRM member. If you see a login prompt under the calendar you are not logged in. Use your SHRM associated email address as the login and your assigned password. If you are SHRM member you must be affiliated with the chapter and your SHRM membership must be up to date to get the member rates. We don't have a separate membership - you must be a SHRM national member to join the chapter.
