Ivy Tech Community College will be offering a Human Resource Professional Development Conference through its Department of Workforce and Economic Development on April 22 in Logansport.
The conference will consist of the following four sessions led by area industry experts, with each one covering a hot-button issue in the field of human resources:
• Conducting effective performance evaluations: Participants will discover the process experts use to devise and conduct performance evaluations to improve employee performance, build relationships, and to unlock their hidden potential. They will learn how to apply proven methods and techniques to make existing evaluation processes work even better.
• Positive employee motivation: Participants will learn how to reinforce team values, commitment, and loyalty in a “me-first” world.
They will explore how successful leaders “fire up” their employees to take ownership, share ideas, and to remain committed to working together with enthusiasm, pride and fun.
• “You make the call”: Participants will discuss real-life HR situations and decide the legal course of action to take by "making the call."
The presenter will share what "really happened" and what the law and courts say on subjects like: FMLA, wage and hour, hiring, discipline, termination, ADA, WC, EEO Discrimination, harassment, unemployment and other legal challenges.
• Employee communication at work: Participants will discover how to connect with employees through positive, genuine and honest communication. They’ll find out the secrets that make good leaders great by strengthening interpersonal relationships, trust, and expectations through words and actions.
The conference fee is $135, which includes lunch. It will be held from 8 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. at the new Ivy Tech Community College Logansport campus, 1 Ivy Tech Way. It will include minimal lecture
with high group interaction and activities including multiple, practical application exercises. Continuing education units are available.
