2010 NCHRA Chapter Event:
Creating a Culture that Rewards Performance
March 17, 6:00-7:30 pm, San Francisco
 |
| Dr.
B. Lynn Ware |
Performance in many organizations in the Bay area has been hampered by the long recession and the resulting corporate “malaise” that employees feel when the organization is operating with limited resources and not “winning.” In addition, as the economy improves, your best employees may soon have an opportunity to leave your organization. Don’t let them leave due to lack of recognition when they have hung in there with you during the worst of times. Get your employees ready for the upturn by creatively rewarding them for early efforts to achieve individual and team goals for 2010.
Learn how to implement employee recognition, reward, and development programs, and how to influence managers as a means of creating an organizational culture that rewards employee accountability and performance. You’ll leave able to:
- Teach and influence managers to take action to recognize individuals for meeting both short- and long-term goals and objectives
- Start a Corporate Ambassador program within your organization
- Help managers set specific team goals for engaging their business units

ITS
Brings Retaining Talent
Certification Program to Canada 
In 2007, ITS
brought its Retaining Talent Consultant Certification Program
to Radical Entertainment Company in Vancouver, BC. The one-day session
was limited to a maximum of 6 participants, who were certified as
internal Talent Retention Consultants, able to work one-on-one with
their managers to reduce their attrition risks. Participants completed
the session qualified to lead a hands-on skill building session
for up to five managers that they support.
In addition
to proven models for reducing unwanted attrition, participants received
the ITS Attrition Risk Assessment tool, Talent Retention
Toolkit, and Talent Retention Action Planner to use with
their company's managers.
Talent Retention
Consultant Certification builds in-house capability, lowers
external consulting costs, enhances HR's credibility, and helps
build participants' careers, because the expertise remains with
them. Certified Talent Retention Consultants are valuable retention
consulting resources to their internal customers -- both the managers
and the talented employees relying on them. For more information
about the certification program, call ITS at 650-320-8299.

ITS
consultants Dr. B. Lynn Ware and Steve Knight meet with the steering
committee members of Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) to embark
on a 5-year study aimed at retaining key teachers as district enrollment

OutTakes Exit Interview System to collect the data that will be
used in the study. |
