Oliver Shaw, head of Cascade HR, will take to the stage at this year’s CIPD Annual Conference & Exhibition to deliver his advice-led seminar ‘HR Hacks – making a truly strategic contribution to your organisation’, at Manchester Central, on 4 November, 12pm.
Promising to deliver a number of ‘hacks’ (practical calculations and tips), Oliver will show HR professionals how to capture the attention of their senior management team, make meaningful rather than mindboggling use of big data, and transform the productivity and profitability of their organisations.
The seminar comes hot on the heels of Cascade survey findings, which revealed that 76% of respondents believe there needs to be more respect for the impact HR has on the bottom line.
Oliver explains: “Widely misconstrued as a function with ‘softer’ business benefits, HR is in fact well placed to have a well-earned voice in the boardroom. But there needs to be something of a mindset shift. Analysis is not high on the agenda for some HR professionals, and talks of ‘big data’ are sometimes feared. But this needn’t be the case.
“This seminar is about providing HR and payroll specialists with new questions to ask when they get back to the office and different ways to uncover and confidently present information that will make Operations Directors, Managing Directors and Chief Executive Officers stop and listen.”
Oliver will show delegates how to truly understand how many people they have in productive work on any one day for instance, and how to manage the recruitment pipeline to fulfil an organisation’s target headcount.
Cascade HR is also exhibiting at ACE 2015, on stand G60. The award-winning team of HR and payroll software experts will be offering free, tailored demonstrations for all delegates.
Registration for the exhibition– and the ‘HR Hacks – making a truly strategic contribution to your organisation’ presentation – is free.
