Topics

Actually, Sharlyn can speak on a wide variety of workplace topics. But here are some of her most popular topics to get you thinking:

Strategic Planning. Successful organizations plan for their success because, without proper planning, they will fail. Customer expectations, market supply and demand, competitors and other factors in the business landscape change all the time. A strategic plan provides business and operational strategies to meet these changing market conditions.

Metrics: Measuring HR. Human resources shows the value of their efforts through metrics. Not big, long, complex math formulas . . . but clear and easy-to-use measurements.

Workplace Social Media. More and more businesses and professionals are using social media as a way to generate revenue and interact with customers (internally and externally.) For business professionals, this becomes an opportunity to develop a marketing, branding and communications strategy to support their organizations!

Employee Engagement. Today’s organizations must develop engaged employees, supervisors and managers. The leadership and direction that has been traditionally provided by hierarchy must now come from the individual. To work effectively in the radically transformed organizational environment of today and tomorrow, employees, managers and teams must become self-managing.
