2016 Leadership Forum
August 24 from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm at Genesee Grande Hotel in Syracuse, NY
NYSNLA's annual Leadership Forum is the leading green industry management event in New York state helping you take your business to the next level. It's geared toward owners and senior-level staff seeking to grow and strengthen their business by honing their management skills. Every year, we bring in a world-class business speaker to work in a small-group, interactive setting for a full day. Then we follow it up a month later with a live webinar where participants check in with the speaker and report on their progress. This year's topic is in high demand!
Mel Kleiman is North America’s foremost authority on how to recruit, select, and retain hourly employees and president of Humetrics, founded in 1976. Mel provides selection and retention tools to help you “reassess and reinvent the way you recruit, select, and retain frontline hourly employees and the people who manage them.” Learn more about Mel by visiting his website and reading his article in the Summer 2016 issue of Nursery Lines, “The Most Important Buying Decision You’ll Ever Make.”
At the end of this year's Leadership Forum with Mel, you will have learned:
• The five key questions you need to ask before you hire anyone
• How to attract the right applicants
• The No. 1 most overlooked source of great, proven employees
• How to tell the winners from the whiners
• The most important question to ask every applicant
• The No. 1 way to reduce turnover by 20 percent
• What every employee wants out of a job no matter what generation he or she is
• The No. 1 employee motivator (and it doesn’t cost a dime!)
• Lots of other easy-to-implement ideas
