Employee Retention without Effort: Simple Solutions to Secure Talent without Expanding HR Practices
Session suggested for HR, Ops/Member Exp

An evil villain has taken over the workplace - employee turnover.

This issue brings disruptions, frustrations, and heightened recruitment costs within your valued organization. Employee retention seems like a storyline from a fantastical fairytale.

Ignoring the villain is not an option. High employee turnover poses a significant threat to your business's harmony and growth. Retaining top talent is a task greater than waking a sleeping princess. If left unaddressed, it will continue to deplete your valuable resources and obscure your operations in uncertainty. This turns your happily ever after into a never-ending cautionary tale.

But Stacey is here to help you become the hero and slay unnecessary voluntary termination.

In this HR Hot Topic session, attendees will walk away with strategies and tactics on:

What to do when you have a limited HR staff?
How to Influence Employees thinking about leaving
How to encourage your best to stay

Every employee may not need a hero, but they do need you.

1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Passion & Purpose: A Credit Union PHD
Taylor Murray, Chief Executive Officer, ServiStar Conuslting

The credit union movement is growing, but is our commitment to People Helping People keeping pace? As credit unions continue to grow and expand, many credit union employees and leaders forget or never learned how and why we started. In this fun and interactive keynote, we’ll talk about the motivation and passion our early leaders had when transforming cooperative financial institutions and unravel the Philosophy, History and Development of our movement.

Attendees will walk away from Taylor's session that will:

• Ignite (or reignite) your fire to help people.
• Unravel the early history of the credit union movement (and learn who the person behind an award you may have won).
• Learn where the term "Credit Union" was derived (and I bet it'll surprise you).
• Have fun, meet new people and lock up Day 1 with a smile.
