Jason Lawson
"Reimagining HR" (On Board)

 

Learning Objectives:

1. Breaking from process based HR to culture changing HR
2. How to create value based HR
3. Using a RAP - a Relationship Action Plan - to increase your effectiveness

 

Session Description:

Tired of being a department of "no"? Frustrated with not being able to provide what you as an HR leader/professional KNOW you can offer? Are you ready to engage in the transformational work that HR is best prepared to perform? It is time to "reimagine" what HR can be and how you as an HR leader are the absolute right person to deliver it. Learn specific action steps you can take so that you become the HR leader that employees and managers invite into spaces rather than feeling like you have to invite yourself. Finally, get re-energized so that when you return to your place of employment you can do so with a fresh perspective on your value to the organization.
