World at Work -- Join Me Today!

Are you in Seattle at World at Work's Total Rewards Conference? If you are, I would be pleased to meet you. The easiest way to find me will be at the roundtable I’m hosting TODAY(workshop code: C26T4), called “21st Century Employee Recognition Knows No Boundaries.”

The roundtable is 3:30 – 4:45. Joining me will be experts from telecommunications, software, media, and pharmaceutical services, specifically:

* Jennifer R Lepird, CBP, Sr Compensation Business Partner, Intuit
* Scott Himelstein, CCP, Director Compensation, Discovery Communications Inc
* Rob Schmitter, Global R&R Program Leader, Nortel
* Jennifer M Reimert, CCP, Sr Director Global HR Compensation, Symantec Corp
* Lisa Marie Taylor, Sr. Director of Global Compensation, Quintiles

We will be discussing how strategic employee recognition programs help reinforce a culture of appreciation that knows no boundaries. The results are increased levels of employee engagement and customer loyalty, high productivity, higher sales and profits, and increased operating income and earnings per share. We will offer insight into how to budget for a global recognition program, using metrics to determine the program's effectiveness in specific geographic areas, achieving global culture change through recognition, and communicating the rollout to a dispersed workforce.

I hope to see you there! If you can't attend the session, Globoforce is hosting a break and you may be able to catch me on the show floor.
