People Development - When there is nowhere to go – not even up in an organization

Presenter: Hannah Northup, Owner & Principle of Northup HR

 

Session Description: Many organizations are struggling with not having anywhere for their employees to move “up the ladder” and yet they don’t want to lose them.  How do we develop people in their current roles for the next big thing and are we prepared to potentially let them go for bigger and better opportunities?

In this session, we will discuss this growing issue and help you figure out how to keep your employees engaged while still developing them and learning how to sometimes say goodbye.

Setting the Pace for Change:

Session Description: Future HR leaders who will be most successful in the world today - whether in companies, as entrepreneurs, or as community organization leaders - are those who not only can adapt to and navigate chaotic change, but who have capacity to anticipate it and create readiness for setting its pace, while helping others do the same.

In this workshop participants will complete a personal assessment of their change agility and use interactive learning activities and self-reflection to identify and enhance individual focus areas.
