Hard to believe, but there’s more to getting things done and growing your business than knowing the latest rules and regulations — and #ASPPAannual can help fill in those gaps!
Sure, #ASPPAannual has you covered on the latest rules and regulations — what they mean, how they’ll change things, and how you’ll need to communicate the impact to your clients. But this year’s #ASPPAannual also has plenty of special workshops focused on helping YOU attract, retain, motivate — and yes, even terminate workers who just aren’t — working out.
Check out these sessions:
WS3: Hiring Techniques & Employee Engagement
Employees are essential for running and growing our firms. Talent is the biggest investment made by our organizations, yet most people-related decisions are made informally. Not all employees are alike, and hiring strategies and employee engagement can vary greatly for different employees and employment relationships. Increased employee engagement can improve profitability; boost profits by incorporating care, fun and value with your teams. A motivated and engaged workforce helps achieve business goals. Leaders who care about and create employee engagement now can avoid unpleasant turbulence later.
Kirsten L Curry, APM, President, Leading Retirement Solutions
WS9: Crucial Conversations That Drive Results
It’s imperative to have crucial conversations at work, yet we struggle — giving clear, honest, constructive feedback is hard. What if you could effectively engage in thoughtful discussion to better understand one another, and achieve enhanced, more productive, positive relationships and improved performance? Learn how to lay the basis for honest direct communication and create trust among managers, staff and colleagues, and how to effectively give feedback. Gain techniques for sharing tough messages in a way that minimizes defensiveness yet maximizes candor.

WS15: Drive Business Success with Workplace Flexibility
Workplace flexibility is not new. But how does a business adjust to a workforce that demands flexibility? To remain competitive, companies must develop innovative policies and practices responsive to employees’ needs, giving them more control over how they accomplish their work and responsibilities.

WS21: Mentor Programs
Mentoring can improve employee satisfaction and retention, drive rich learning and development, improve the new employee experience, make your company more appealing to candidates and train your leaders. An impactful mentoring program is within every employer’s reach, but great mentoring programs don’t just happen. Learn strategies to design your mentoring program, connect mentors and mentees, and measure success.

WS33: Employee Off-Boarding
Sometimes an employee is just not a good fit for an organization. Off-boarding practices have a dramatic impact on the employee experience, yet are often overlooked. Poor termination practices can affect an organization’s bottom line, tarnish reputations and directly influence future talent acquisition. Exiting employees who receive respectful treatment will be better brand ambassadors and can reduce your termination risks. Discuss best practices for performance improvement plans, how to structure them and when it’s time to pull the plug.

WS39: Peer-to-Peer Employee Matters Roundtable
Business leaders work in roundtables with the speakers present to discuss real-life situations surrounding employee issues.
