Talent Management and Non-Traditional Issues
of Inclusion at the Workplace

This important workshop addresses various themes of inclusion within the broader context of talent management in the Miami Valley Region.

Businesses are thinking beyond just race and gender to attract, recruit, motivate, and retain candidates who bring unique perspectives to the organization (e.g., multi-generational, multilingual, multicultural, disabled). In this context, the panel discussion will focus on what new strategies employers need to develop to compete for candidates who bring diversity of thought to the organization - something that more accurately mirrors the real-world market served by the organizations.

The panel discussion features various experts on Talent Management and Non-traditional Inclusion issues. Our moderator will ask questions of the panel and invite questions from the audience.

Panelists and Focus Areas include:

Jeffrey Vernooy, Director, Office of Disability Services, Wright State University

Mr. Vernooy will address issues around attitudinal awareness and disabled employees in the workforce.

Social Networking and Human Resources

Social Networking has become a lifestyle to many of the people around us. Facebook, Plaxo, Twitter and LinkedIn are just a few of the communication methods that are used heavily today. If you are not a part of this growing trend you could be left behind – or worse – left out. Which one should you ultimately use will be up to you and the network you want to keep. In some cases it may be determined by your immediate group of friends or it could be the method used by your current employers or people you work with. Joining all of them could keep us so busy that we would never get our normal tasks accomplished during the day. So, which one should we use?

We will discuss some of the “personalities” or purpose behind some of these tools and how to use them. For discussion purposes, we will focus on LinkedIn and how we can use this as a Business Tool as well as a Social Network. We will unlock some of the information that is found on this site and provide suggestions on how to use this new-found electronic knowledge to benefit our everyday lives. We will also discuss how this can impact our current functions within Human Resources.
