O1. Strategic Planning Must-Haves
Speaker(s): Amy Horner
NASBA field of study: Business Management & Organization - Non-Technical (1)
Leading your organization into the future is like taking a road trip to a place you've never been. To get there, you need a strategy that includes a planned route, milestones along the way, a timeline, and the flexibility to reroute as internal and external factors dictate. Whether you're just beginning the process or already have a documented plan, strategic planning initiatives are truly ongoing -- as the world changes, so must your plan! Discuss the high-level must-haves and strategies for developing, implementing and resetting your strategic plan. Plus, get tips for stacking your team to successfully execute your plan and achieve your objectives.
O2. New Age Employee Benefits
Speaker(s): Larry Morgan
NASBA field of study: Personnel/Human Resources - Non-Technical (1)
By the year 2025, over 50 percent of the workforce will be comprised of Millennial and Generation Z employees. These generations have very different expectations of the workplace when it comes to formal and informal employee benefit programs. Discuss benefit strategies and programs that attract and retain these demographics. Explore options related to student loan forgiveness, career pathing, mental health benefits and more. Gain insights into PUMP Act and Pregnant Worker Fairness Act issues, the pitfalls of unlimited paid time off and other strategies you may not have considered, including grandparent and menopause-related benefits.
O3. Become an Ethical Leader to Drive Crucial Business Results
Speaker(s): Jonathan Lokhorst
NASBA field of study: Behavioral Ethics - Non-Technical (1)
Rarely do leaders set out to commit fraud, destroy culture or engage in unethical practices. Unethical behavior usually evolves over time when leaders lack a strong personal foundation. Explore six research-based ethical perspectives to shape your foundation for ethical behavior. Discover the underlying principles, beliefs and values that influence your decision-making when ethical issues are present. Apply these principles to real business situations as you learn how being an ethical leader is more challenging (and important) than you think.
