Segment 1: Contractor vs. employees: What you need to
know about the legal issues behind having a direct hire vs contingent
workforce

Diana Maier, Workplace Investigator and Employment Counsel, will
cover the legalities of working with a direct hire vs. contingent
workforce. Specifically, Diana will address when/how to classify
someone who provides services as an employee or a contractor. Not
knowing the difference between contracting with an independent
contractor or worker and hiring an employee is increasingly risky. The
government assumes that virtually all workers are employees, and
imposes stiff penalties or stop work orders on employers who cannot
justify paying someone for services without providing benefits, paying
unemployment taxes, and incurring a range of other expenses. Yet,
there are enormous benefits to using contractors instead of employees.

This portion of the seminar will teach you how to use independent
contractors or part-time employees while minimizing legal exposure.

The Presentation

Learn how and why agencies are cracking down on individuals and small businesses
Assess your vulnerability to the rash of wage and hour
lawsuits for seemingly innocent small jobs and your exposure to civil
and criminal penalties
Understand the differences between employees and independent
contractors, risks & benefits and strategies for using both, and
how to justify often subjective distinctions between the two
Determine your risk of being audited by state agencies enforcing worker-related laws
Explore actual cases and real-life scenarios of attendees-submit your questions!

Segment 2: Conscious Hiring: The 7 steps to implement a hiring process

Margaret Graziano , a 25 year veteran in Recruitment and
Staffing, will discuss the importance of maximizing the return on your
people investment. One of the only competitive advantages your company
has is the how your mission critical, key contributor and next level
leaders solve business issues, carry out the company mission, run the
operation and interact with your customers. What companies all too
often painfully uncover is that the right systems housing the wrong
people always fail and that wrong systems housing the right people
often fail.

A holistic
conscious-hiring empowers you hire right the first time, every time.

Segment 3: Choose your Assessments Wisely: The dos and don’ts in utilizing assessments in the hiring process.

Did you know that there are some assessments that you cannot
legally use to select a new employee? With hundreds of assessments in
the marketplace how will you know if you are using a quality tool?

Dr. Stephanie Marberry, Selection Consultant with KeenHire,
discusses some of the important features to look for when evaluating
what assessment to add in your hiring process. Growth oriented
companies are demanding more of their workforce, and are unwavering in
their expectations to attract and hire ‘difference makers.’ In today’s
competitive talent market, with candidates demanding top salaries,
companies have the right to know what they are getting, and have the
right to expect a return on investment with each hire.

Whether you are looking at utilizing assessments in your placement
process, looking to re-sell assessments or you just want to keep
abreast of the on-going developments surrounding our industry – it is
paramount that you attend this session!

Talent Strategy 3.0:
The Secrets to Hiring And Retaining the Best

Anytime you lose one of your
top, high potential people, or you hire someone who doesn’t quite meet the
demands of their position, you lose money. Lots of money. According to the
Harvard Business Review, a mis-hire can cost your company three to four times
that person’s salary. And losing one of your trained, experienced leaders can
dig into your bottom line by up five to seven times their annual salary.

That’s a lot of money. Too much
money to lose.

With today’s questionable
economy and the reality of global competition, you can no longer afford to make
mistakes in hiring or be haphazard in your talent management. Never has there
been a more critical or urgent time to get up to speed with the strategies that
give your company the power to choose talent wisely, retain an engaged
workforce and implement effective succession planning, top grading, and
performance management systems.
