Forum Think Tank: Where Business Leaders Share, Learn People-Centered Strategies for Success
Forum's Sept. 15 event features Monster.com founder Jeff Taylor
NAPERVILLE, Ill., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today's economy requires businesses to pay ever-closer attention to the value that people bring to their organizations and their role in the human value connection that bonds companies to their employees and customers. The Forum for People Performance Management and Measurement offers business leaders an opportunity to explore these issues and find solutions at its third Think Tank symposium titled, A New Age: People-Centered Leadership, on Wed., Sept. 15, 2010 at the Union League Club of Chicago.
"The 2010 Think Tank is designed to provide interactive education and insight on how people performance strategies can have a positive impact on their organization, and to create a networking opportunity for individuals who have a shared commitment to strategies that support people in the workplace," said Forum President Beth Schelske. The target audience for this year's event includes both high-level corporate executives and academic researchers specializing in people performance issues.
Schelske noted that the Forum has tapped Jeff Taylor, founder of Monster.com, as its "Think Tank" keynote speaker. From the advent of job sites like Monster.com and social networking sites, the Internet has completely changed the dynamics of the employer-employee relationship. Taylor's presentation will examine the current employment environment and the challenges employers face.
A key feature of the conference is that participants will have ample opportunity to discuss the topics most important to them with peers, as well as with academic and people performance experts.
Registration fees are $250 for corporate participants and $150 for academic/student participants. Persons purchasing one registration may buy a second registration for $125.
