Re-Building a Global Workforce |

During the past 36 months, major international corporations have cut hundreds of thousands from their global ranks due to a continual decline in the economy.

In this presentation, the head of human resources at one of the world's premier Six Sigma organizations will share his view of a global human resources environment that is in a period of fundamental change and the implications for HR and recruiting professionals.

Building a Winning Future on a Foundation of Change |
|
| - |
It is no secret that organizations that change effectively win - and those that don't lose. Given the unpredictable business environment and rapidly changing demographic make-up of the American workforce, managing change is central to any organization's human capital strategy. Dennis Donovan, one of the world's most respected human resource executives, will explore the shifting dynamics of the workplace, its response to risks and opportunities, and its framework for change. Mr. Donovan will discuss the vibrant business environment of the world's largest home improvement retailer and he will explain how his company leverages leadership in a marketplace of rapid change. As part of this process, Mr. Donovan will explain how the "Human Resources Value Proposition" used at The Home Depot demonstrates how talent is the customer service differentiator and how leadership is the common denominator to success.

Building the Brand from Within |

Traditionally, global corporations have made significant investments, in the billions of dollars annually, in terms of building their external brand of products and services. In doing so, many of these same companies have taken their "eye off the ball" when it comes to developing their internal brand: creating a corporate culture that an entire workforce can identify with. In this presentation, the head of human resources at one of the world's most recognizable and admired brands will discuss her company's strategy of creating and fostering a dynamic internal workforce culture as its global re-hiring initiatives continue at all levels.

In a unique presentation in which questions will be posed directly to one another, seven leading human resource professionals and search consultants will debate those issues that have raised the biggest concerns, including off-limits constraints, fee arrangements, and parallel processing.

A leading human capital securities analyst will provide a snapshot of activity during the past 36 months, discuss current trends and data, and project what lies ahead for the human capital industry in the months to come.
