Reflecting on SHRM 2024: Strengthened Connections and Professional Renewal Just returned to the office from 2024 SHRM Conference & Expo in Chicago(easy commute), and it was an enriching experience. The ticket to SHRM is expensive, requires 3 days out of the office, so let’s discuss the ROI: Building Stronger Bonds: At SHRM, I had the opportunity to connect with my HR team on a deeper level. These interactions strengthened trust, collaboration, and friendships. Strategy Validation: The conference allowed me to validate our existing strategies and explore ways to enhance them. Hearing industry examples—both successful and failed—provided valuable insights. Industry Exposure: I engaged with HR leaders from diverse industries, stepping outside my usual bubble. We shared ideas, discussed challenges, and explored solutions. Meaningful Networking: Beyond LinkedIn connections, I made an effort to truly understand fellow attendees. Learning about their businesses, motivations, and concerns was enlightening. Follow-Up Commitment: I sent follow-up messages to recap discussions and address solutions or obstacles with people I met. Not every connection reached that stage, but the effort was worthwhile. Professional Renewal: SHRM re-energized me both professionally and personally. It reminded me of the vital role HR plays in organizations, the shared pain, the effort required, and the impact it makes. Gratitude: I’m thankful for the experience and the chance to attend a conference with local, national, and global impact. Blessed to work for an organization like Geneva Trading that makes professional and personal development a priority. In summary, SHRM was a great investment of time and resources. I look forward to applying the insights gained and delivering ROI to Geneva Trading. #shrm2024 #genevatrading #professionalgrowth #HRrocks #Talentacquisition

These trends highlight the increasing role of technology, flexibility, inclusivity, and strategic workforce management. HR Technology and AI AI in HR is revolutionizing recruitment processes, from CV screening to interview scheduling. AI helps predict candidate success and measure recruitment strategies' effectiveness, making the process more efficient. #HRTech #AIRecruitment Skills-Based Hiring Skills-based hiring emphasizes transferable skills over traditional experience, supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). This approach broadens the talent pool and attracts highly capable candidates. #SkillsBasedHiring #DiversityAndInclusion Work Flexibility and Hybrid Models Flexibility in work arrangements is crucial for attracting and retaining talent.

Talent acquisition leaders are largely left out of their company’s strategic planning process, and many feel they operate as “order takers” according to findings in our new ‘Talent Acquisition at a Crossroads’ report with The Josh Bersin Company. Companies are cutting their TA spend, and at the same time, CEOs feel that skills shortages are getting worse. Moving from transaction to strategy is now critical for business success. In his latest blog, Josh Bersin discusses the latest Talent Climate research. #Talent #TalentAcquisition #HumanResources #HR #Recruitment #Staffing #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Tech #Technology #TalentClimate

The countdown has started! Many leaders working for Centra know the meaning of the words "Compensation Overhaul". It is a roadmap that started in the Fall 2022 and will culminate in pay equity and market adjustments in May 2024. The work is guided by these principles: 1.    Planning. 2.    Clarity through transparency. 3.    Process Consistency. 4.    Fairness. 5.    Purpose. 6.    Pay equity. 7.    Leadership accountability. Thanks to organization-wide support for the work, HR has created a compensation program and capability that will be a game changer for Centra's workforce and culture. Centra has implement standard pay structures and policies, clear criteria for promotion, and standardized documentation of compensation to minimize room for bias. Communicating clearly about pay equity is nearly 13 times as important for employee retention and engagement as talking about “high levels of pay and benefits,” according to a March 14 report from The Josh Bersin Co., a human capital advisory firm. "While most companies know they must increase pay during times of inflation, they do not understand the problems they create when people feel the system is unfair,” Josh Bersin said. Nobody said it was going to be easy. But with a thoughtful and flexible plan, collaboration, communication, and execution, success is around the corner, with Centra Human Resources leading the charge! https://lnkd.in/guDNApzR.
