Session 1:  Evidence-Based Human Resource Management 

Session 2:  Understanding Advanced Issues in FMLA Administration
Evidence-based management has become recognized as the preferred approach to decision-making.  Opinions, experience and intuition still play a role but relevant evidence has become the preferred basis upon which organizations choose to make critical decisions.  Marketing and Finance have evolved through the use of research, analytics and the scientific method.  HR has begun to incorporate talent analytics into strategy formulation as well.  New approaches such as scenario-based workforce planning, hypothesis formulation and testing and artificial intelligence require new skills and knowledge and HR professionals need to “up their game” in order to use them well.  This session will explore how evidence is acquired, analyzed and applied in talent management.

Learning objectives:
  • Know about the sources of evidence relevant to talent management,
  • Be able to analyze and apply research and analytics using technology,
  • Understand how to integrate evidence with personal knowledge and experience to formulate recommendations relating to talent management strategy. 
 The federal and Wisconsin Family and Medical Leave Acts continue to be two of the most complicated laws to effectively administer in workplaces.  This program will walk through scenarios that raise some of the most difficult issues under the FMLA laws.  You will leave with a clearer understanding of proper steps to take and steps to avoid in handling your most challenging FMLA situations.

Participants will learn:
  • Key steps in effectively managing chronic intermittent leaves
  • What questions to ask yourself with every leave request
  • Best practices to address certification forms
