HR Technology is advancing at a rate hard to quantify. Each year, our profession gains new ground in the development of services, information, systems and tools available to address the rapidly evolving landscape of HR. For many of us, the advent of these tools and technologies was swift, and organizations slow to get on board are just now realizing what’s truly been missed. In this session we’ll explore how technology is propelling the HR function, and a step by step guide for getting out of the weeds, and into the playing field.

The topic of Employee Engagement has almost become a running joke: do survey, sit on results, announce results, realize they’re too old to be useful, re-do survey... This loop continues to make an ask of employees—tell us more about what you think about the company—but is light on giving value back to the employee. True engagement requires that there be something in it for Brand. What you'll get are employees who are happy to have a voice, a brand that’s reflective of your company's reality, and brand messaging that's customized for each employee's network—critical in a world where employees are your best front line sourcers. The idea of having every employee talking about the brand in slightly different ways may seem daunting, but with the right tools and right approach, this new way of thinking can deliver sustained branding and engagement results beyond what you thought possible. And we will prove it!

Nearly 50% of Sodexo’s management-level hires in 2014 reported using one or more of our social properties during their job search. While channel preference varied slightly between internal and external hires, the message was clear: both types of candidates found value in viewing culture-related content, having the ability to ask questions and receive answers in real time and accessing firsthand accounts of what it’s like to work for the company. This is why creating a “career newsroom” is vital to the success of your recruitment efforts. This means not only creating content that speaks to the questions and concerns of most job seekers, but also having a method for actively putting it at their fingertips through things like QUEsocial, our mobile Jobs app and our regularly updated online properties. In this session, we will dig deeper into the results of our 2014 New Hires Survey and take a closer look at the content strategy behind managing nearly 20 different platforms to engage potential candidates online.
