Five Trends Shaping the Future of Human Resources An Overview of the Leading Labor Trends that will Affect all Organizations in the Upcoming Years (1-2 hours) Much has been said about the need for HR to play an integral role in the strategic leadership of their organization with the executive team. This need is no longer an option in any organization. The emerging Human Resources trends will now dominate the competitive success of every organization. In this session, leading authority and international best-selling author, Dr. Bob Nelson will share his research and insights on the emerging workforce trends as described in his upcoming (March 2012) book 1501 Ways to Reward Employees (the new edition of 1001 Ways to Reward Employees that sold 1.6 million copies). The trends that will be presented are:

1) The Pending Shortage of Skilled Workers2) The Rise of the Millennial Generation3) The Expansion of Contingent Workers 4) The Evolving Role of Virtual Employees5) The Globalization of the Labor Market

Dr. Nelson will present current research and data about the above trends and specifically address what HR professionals need to do to help create a sense of urgency in leading their executive team to proactively address these issues before they become problems for the organization and its ability to compete. Attendees will leave with a broader perspective on the leading labor trends impacting human resources and practical strategies for addressing those trends in their workplace.

2. Here Come the Millennials! How the Latest Generation will Reshape Work for Us All Understanding, Attracting, Motivating and Keeping the Newest Generation (1-2 hours)As recently featured in a CBS 60-Minutes interview with Morley SaferDr. Bob Nelson, shares his insights on the latest generation to enter the workforce, the Millennials, and how members of that generation differ in their outlook, values and expectations from previous generations in the workplace today. The Millennial Generation, those individuals born between 1980 and 2000 will soon dominate the world of work in both number and attitude. These 90 million individuals are unique from any previous generation in both their technical abilities, attitudes, outlook and expectations of work and, as such, companies will need to realign their strategic priorities to reshape the work environment to meet the expressed needs of this generation. Failure to do so will significantly limit a company's ability to hire these younger workers at a time when they already will be experiencing a shortfall of qualified candidates needed to replace the 70 million retiring Baby Boomers in the decade ahead. Success in adapting to this new breed of worker will allow organizations to access and leverage the potential of the younger generation in a way that will create a significant competitive advantage for the company in achieving its mission in the marketplace.This generation of workers with the skills and aptitudes that every employer will need are not interested in "paying their dues" and conforming to fit the expectations of them by their employers, but rather will cause companies to reassess and strategically realign all aspects of the employment contract to wrap around the life experiences and expectations unique to this generation. The subsequent changes will affect all workers -- even those not a part of this generation -- as work rules about how work gets done (eg, telecommuting/ working hours, group processes/collaboration, enhanced efficiencies via technology, world perspectives and social issues, etc) are permanently redefined. In this session, Dr. Nelson will lay out the impact of this predominant shift in worker demographics, the assets and liabilities this generation brings to the workplace and show managers and executives (most of whom are Baby Boomers) how to strategically adapt to and align with the needs and expectations of these younger workers. Topics covered will include:
