Typically I address HR and business leaders on topics related to the effective management of people and the strategic value of leading an engaged workforce. Sometimes these are conference keynote speeches; sometimes these are facilitated discussions among management teams.
Two popular keynote speeches are HR Wake Up Call and Turning Back the Turnover Tidal Wave.
Turning Back the Turnover Tidal Wave
The growing disengagement of our workforce is top of mind for business and HR leaders alike. China shares survey and other data that demonstrates the growing negative impact of this disengagement on organization results. The perfect storm of the recent recession and slower than expected recovery, globalization, demographic shifts and greater governmental regulation together with the “grass is greener” syndrome is setting up our organizations for a tidal wave of turnover as the economy improves. Using the Zappos.com case study, among others, the audience will learn highly effective approaches to engaging and retaining a committed workforce.
HR Wake-up Call
China’s strong belief that HR professionals are stronger and more effective business leaders than they are given credit for is based on 30 years as a business leader in the talent management sector. She shines a light on the business savvy and expertise the audience currently possesses and builds a foundation for acting with greater leadership confidence. China will share results from several recent surveys outlining HR’s greatest opportunities, as well as global and national economic data that will highlight the audience’s opportunities to lead. As she provides a framework for HR’s greater involvement and influence in organizational and societal success, the audience will leave energized by the opportunities in front of them and with a renewed sense of their own leadership capabilities. This session truly is call to action for the HR profession.

China – Hi! I am Evelyn Buckenmeyer and I am the Program Chair for our local SHRM group (Toledo Area Human Resources Assoc-TAHRA). I was impressed with your keynote at the Ohio SHRM Conference and am booking speakers for 2012 for our group. I was wondering if you had any openings for next year and also what your fees are. Thanks for your response in advance.
