Speakers Bureau: Beth Jones - on human resources
Show me the money!
Is cash really king? How important is money to candidates? How can we compete with for-profit organizations as a nonprofit with limited resources? How else can we position our ministries as attractive and fulfilling workplaces? We’ll discuss the current landscape and share helpful ideas.
The hiring script is flipped
If every single unemployed person in the country filled an open job, there would still be about 4 million open positions. Gone are the days where you can put an advertisement in a newspaper or a sign in your window and have candidates aplenty apply. It’s a candidate market and it’s only going to get worse. Where do you find workers? How do you find quality workers? What can you do to stand out? How do you prevent losing applicants in the hiring process? We’ll tackle these questions and discuss hiring strategies in this session.
HR Today: How do you keep up?
Managing people is not simple, and what complicates that even more is all the requirements you must follow to ensure you are staying in compliance. State and federal laws always seem to be changing, and it can be very challenging to keep track. The same thing applies to HR best practices, which you no doubt want to follow so you’re treating your people right. We’ll look at the latest, and the basics, in HR today.
