Olathe HR Roundtable - "Making Culture a Priority" 11/19/2019 11:15 AM - 11/19/2019 1:00 PM

Tue, 11 Dec 2018 15:17:05 GMT

Culture gurus JT Galloway of Co Culture and Mark Boren of Pure Workplace Solutions will show what workplace culture is, what it isn't, what it looks like (literally), and how to communicate that culture is an important priority. The passionate presenters will co-facilitate the meeting and help you understand how to build and measure effective organizational culture, as well as employee well-being initiatives.

What makes Olathe HR Roundtable meetings unique is the degree of topic-driven discussion. Therefore, come prepared to learn but also share. If you have questions or first-hand experience around the topic of the month, we encourage you to attend and participate!

Pre-registration is required as space is limited. There is no cost to attend if you “B.Y.O.Lunch” however please register and pre-pay for catered lunch, $12.

For better service, Tax Exempt Members should give lunch payments to Mary Barrios a call, (913) 764-1050, or email her at mbarrios@olathe.org

FAQ:

What is the HR Roundtable?

We offer a unique environment for human resources practitioners to explore related best practices, emerging trends, and workplace issues with their peers on a monthly basis.
Meeting registration opens two weeks prior to the event date and catered lunch registration ends the Friday before the meeting date. Complimentary Pepsi beverages are always available.
Payments for catered lunch are accepted online only. Cancelations must be received by 5 p.m. on the Friday prior to the event.
Space is limited to 30 people. A waiting list will be maintained as needed and individuals will be contacted if space becomes available.

Mission Statement:

The Olathe HR Roundtable offers human resource practitioners of member organizations a forum to discuss and share related best practices, emerging trends, and workplace issues. The main purpose of the roundtable is to create a unique environment where information can be shared in an open-exchange format that is collaborative, engaging, and valuable to represented organizations and the HR profession.

Who is it designed for?

The HR Roundtable was created as a networking and problem-solving opportunity for human resource practitioners who are directly involved in the personnel and hiring process of their organization (i.e. HR managers, recruiters, benefits specialits, payroll administrators, etc.). Small business owners and office managers often benefit from participating in these monthly meetings, as well.

Can vendors attend?

Due to limited space and because of the nature of the topics that are openly discussed by the HR practitioners, some attendance restrictions do apply. Thus it is crucial to the group’s success that attendance is restricted to "vendors" (identified as people who work in a "non-HR role") who provide uniquely human resources services and/or products.
Up to five seats will be reserved for vendors representing a relevant product or service may attend each meeting, with only one representative per business or organization each month.
Vendors are often seen as the “solutions experts” to the questions and concerns pertaining to the month's topic; therefore vendor input is welcome while “sales messages” are not. Vendors, along with all attendees, are encouraged to utilize the lunch and networking portion to meet others in the room.
To determine the appropriateness of vendors attending, Chamber staff will evaluate several factors, including their relevance to the employment situations that the HR practitioners face in their day-to-day jobs (i.e. vendors who provide payroll services, pre-employment testing, staffing assistance, training, benefits, etc.); training or unique qualifications directly relating to the topic of the month (i.e. college representative, benefits expert, employment law specialist, government agency, corporate consultant, etc.); and membership status.

Can non-members of the Olathe Chamber attend?

One representative of a non-member organization is welcome to attend one meeting a year.

Can vendors make presentations to the HR practitioners that attend?

Vendor-led discussions or presentations are at the sole discretion of the Olathe Chamber of Commerce staff.
This is a "no sales" environment in order to preserve the dialogue and integrity of the meetings.
Topics are organized and facilitated by Susan Wallace, Olathe Chamber, HR & Projects Manager. If you would like to submit a question or special request, we will respond ASAP or you may call the Olathe Chamber (913) 764-1050.
The HR Roundtable Corporate Sponsor of the Year is permitted to discuss their unique products and services for a brief designated portion of time each month.

This year alone over 22,000 children will be traumatically separated from their families and placed in the foster care system in Kansas and Missouri. Tragically, 66% of them will be homeless, go to jail or die within one year of aging out of the foster care system at age 18. The statistics are shocking: • The number of children in foster care in Kansas has doubled in the past ten years • 40-50% of foster children will drop out of high school • 80% of the prison population was once in the foster care system • In Wyandotte County alone in 2018 - Almost 700 foster children were needing beds and less than 200 beds were available For the past fourteen years, Carry The Cross Ministries, a Christian, faith-based 501c3 organization, has been working to meet the needs of children and families in urban Kansas City, KS, by way of short-term housing, neighborhood-based outreach programs and through connections with local schools. Now, Carry the Cross Ministries is opening a new branch called On Eagle’s Wings Farm This new ministry will give children who are orphaned, at-risk, or in foster care an opportunity to have a safe, stable and loving family to call home. On Eagle’s Wings Farm will be a place where families that have been broken or stained by the craziness of life will come to find hope and restoration. On the farm, children and families will be able to experience: • Life counseling • Equine therapy • Opportunities to care for livestock and gardens • Compassion, forgiveness, safety, and stability • Family and a place to call home In addition to attending the event we would like to invite individuals, businesses, and other organizations the opportunity to support this event in a special way with the following sponsorship levels.
