'Building Personal and Professional CLOUT with HR Technology'

To the HR Technology professional, an HRMS must be considered to be the significant component of his/her success.  A successful HRMS capacity, well received by user and Senior management alike, should lead to personal growth and success.  One major component of gaining success, both personally and professionally, is when an individual is thought to have influence or  "CLOUT".

This session will discuss the general issues surrounding the components of CLOUT...what makes a person have CLOUT and others not, how to get CLOUT and how to keep it. 

Todays shifting workforce – becoming heavily dependent on Millennial’s and even younger generations – create a challenge in terms of attracting and retaining this generation in any company. One solution and one proven “want” is that these generations seek independence, and a positive and technically rich work experience, one that they perceive includes freedom, challenge and trust. They seek influence and recognition. They seek work that is new, challenging and of global scope. They want to experience collaboration with others in their organization – at any level and at any location. They want some power, and thus, some CLOUT. Without that kind of work – they exhibit no loyalty, and minimal engagement.

This session will help the attendees determine their own CLOUT SCORE via a humorous, but serious Questionnaire.

• Components of CLOUT – Personal and professional behaviors that influence an individual’s own impact (or CLOUT) on peers, colleagues and team members
• How to use HR Technology to influence and improve the role of the HR function within any organization – such that HR (the function itself) is considered a vital Strategic Business Partner with other aspects of the business.
• How to market the function of HR and ensure an organizations leadership understands the importance of the HR Role and its impact on engaging the workforce.
   

• Get attendees to think about CLOUT, both personal and professional.
• Provide them with the understanding of how to use the HR TECHNOLOGY to gain personal clout.
• Provide them with the understanding of the components of HR TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS that will help them achieve high clout levels.
• Deliver a method of determining their own current level of CLOUT.
• Steer HR Technology professional away from the mentality that the function of Human Resources is a "standalone empire".  Challenge the attendees to think differently, to focus on building strategic liaisons and to understand that they are not just HR people, but are members of the Human Resource Function, and of the industry in which their company does business.
• Provide attendees with suggested ways to present data as strategic – VALUE ADDED information.
• Provide attendees with an understanding of what "information" is of strategic value to the senior most levels of management, and that if they (and their HR TECHNOLOGIES) can provide it, and present it effectively, will lead to obtaining a high(er) level of CLOUT.
   

• Using pertinent and humorous adaptation of the famous classic science fiction  movie -THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL- Marc Miller will emphasize the importance of team building and teamwork to achieving a successful implementation of any HR Technology initiative.
• Additionally, this session will explore and explain how the differences between people from Human Resources, Payroll and Technology can be dealt with, hopefully with a positive team collaborative outcome.
• The session will discuss in detail the activities that lead to CLOUT and those that don’t. Provided will be a list of characteristics of an HRMS that would – if used properly, generate personal and profession CLOUT. 
• The session will explore the needed features and functions of the top – tier HRMS solution providers that when utilized effectively lead to clout building knowledge and strategic information within any organization. This includes the generation of predictive analytics and graphical depictions of key workforce metrics.
