bi Archived Webinar - Top HR Trends for 2012 By www.cch.ca Published On :: Mon, 16 Apr 2012 10:25:37 GMT For many people, trends are either for (1) the bean counters upstairs to find more reasons to slash our budgets or (2) the organizational leadership to find more reasons for us to do more with less. These perceptions could not be further from the truth.

While these questions may seem daunting, today’s HR professionals must have a clear understanding of how to effectively use HR trends as a critical management tool to update and improve their HR plan so that it effectively meets organizational needs based on the business model and implement an HR plan that effectively addresses the challenges and opportunities presenting by the HR trends in 2012 and provide an organization the flexibility, agility and nimbleness to retain its completive edge Learning Objectives: • Understand what trends are, their importance, their value as intelligence and as environmental tools • Understand the principles behind using HR trends as environmental intelligence and management tools. • How to develop and integrate metrics into the trend analysis and plan development process.
