Designing and Implementing a Career Management Program from Scratch |
| Presented by: |
|
Rochester Midland Corporation Senior Vice President of Human Resources, Liz Waidelich |
| |
| |
|
Effectively directing your employees’ internal job options requires implementing and administering a robust career management program. If you’re interested in building that kind of program at your company or want to improve the program you already have in place, you’ll want to hear the questions you need to ask before you dive in, such as: What are “must-haves” and what is a requirement? How will you roll it out to your organization? And how will you deal with resistance from your workforce? The senior vice president of human resources at a specialty chemical manufacturer will talk about the components of a career management program—performance appraisals, compensation administration, coaching and mentoring, career counseling, and more—and the benefits your company will reap along the way. |

| Presented by: |
|
Excellus BlueCross BlueShield Regional Vice President, Human Resources, Ellen Gilmore Wilson |

As HR executives know, counseling employees through progressive disciplinary actions can make the difference between an employee who ultimately succeeds at his or her job and one who ends up leaving a gap in your workforce. To make the formal process work for both your organization and the employee, and to avoid lawsuits, there are several important steps you need to put in place. During this session, you’ll hear the regional vice president of human resources at a 3,000-employee health insurance provider describe the documentation you should develop, ways to deal consistently and fairly with employees in different situations, and, when absolutely necessary, terminate employees who are unwilling or unable to improve. Knowing the process you need to take will help ensure consistency of treatment, mitigate legal risks, and set the stage for more positive employee coaching. |
