(Both) Meeting times: Start at 3:00pm to 4:30pm

Workshop Seminar Topic: Talent Management Collaboratory "How Employment Branding can increase the ROI of recruitment and retention." Here's your chance to be the session rather than just attend one! Lizz Pellet, author and globally recognized expert in organizational culture, EVP and employment branding will select participants throughout the program to deploy employment branding diagnostic services - live.

This session is not for the shy, but rather for HR, talent management professionals and recruiters who want to share and learn about corporate culture, employment branding best-practices and quantitative diagnostic tools available. Lizz will share simple and effective ways to understand what a company is saying about their culture and more importantly – what they are not saying and how to leverage that in the recruiting process. Be chosen as one of the individuals who will be featured in this program and participate in a live "Brand Scan" of your website and corporate career site.
