Topics to be Addressed June 11 – June 12, 2008

This new and unique conference shows how ROI is being used as a valuable and credible business tool to show the contribution of HR. The ROI Methodology captures six types of data (reaction, learning, application, impact, ROI, and intangibles). For a variety of critical HR projects or programs, this conference moves the concept from theory to practice. Dozens of case studies will be presented to show how ROI is used to transform the Human Resources function and maximize value throughout the organization. More important, it shows how the data are used to drive changes to improve HR processes — essentially, positioning ROI as a process improvement tool. Each ROI study always includes a technique to isolate the effects of the HR initiative from other influencing factors, ensuring credible business alignment. This will be one of the most valuable conferences for HR executives.
