About the topic

“Heaven by the Dashboard Light – an introduction to dashboards, KPIs, and reporting”

“Many of you use complex ERP systems to run your business. And they work, but sometimes it’s still hard to get the data you need to run your business effectively. You may have heard of “BI” or business intelligence. In this session, we’ll demystify BI and its associated buzzwords so you’ll understand what you really need to get “the reports you need from the software you already have.”

“Career Insurance”

Presented by: Gary Pezzuti – North, Central & West Jersey Chapters
We have Health Insurance, Life Insurance, House Insurance, Auto Insurance… maybe Dental, Mortgage and Disability Insurance. Career Insurance insures your insurances.
Most employees and job candidates listen to WII-FM throughout their entire career… and most employees never reach their potential.

Research shows, and recent history supports, that regardless of an employee's performance or ability, he/she will seek a new position every 4 to 5 years… sometimes within the same firm.
Too often, with a myopic perspective, MOST employees / candidates are never given serious consideration… not for lack of ability… but lack of understanding WHAT SPECIFICALLY the management is seeking.

Assuming they know what technical and managerial skills are required, the employee / candidate fires off a litany of outstanding qualifications and accomplishments… and wonders what went wrong???

"The “most qualified” employees are too often passed over for career opportunities…
… they talk too much… and about the wrong things."
Some of the topics to be addressed include:
Our “World of Ex-Change” - What Can You Offer The Firm
Employment: A Job… or A
Career
Being ‘… good at what you do…’ is not enough
Personal Evaluation
Networking
PIZZA
Supply Chain Career Planning in the 21St Century "

Who Should Attend:

Those who will sit for their annual review…
Candidates applying to ‘Internal Postings’…
Employees seeking promotions and / or management positions…
Managers / Staff who screen / qualify candidates or conduct interviews…
Anyone involved in training / instruction / education…
Managers performing employee reviews…
Students / Practioners seeking to chart a career path…
Those preparing reports / presentations to top management…
Anyone ‘thinking of updating their resume’ and / or ‘on the market’…

Workplace Transition and Adaption Townhall Meeting

State Rep Tony Hwang’s First Forum to Focus on Workplace Transition and Adaption

LOCATION: Sacred Heart University, William Pitt Center Board Rm

TIME: Feb. 7th – 1:00 pm - Panel Discussion

FAIRFIELD- On Saturday, February 7, State Rep. Tony Hwang, R-134, will hold his first ‘Town Meeting’ event for constituents in Fairfield and Trumbull at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The event, which will take place at the university’s Pitt Center Board Room, will feature several expert panelists discussing workplace transition and job skills.

The first hour of the town meeting will allow the panelists to discuss workplace transition and job skills and take questions from residents. The remainder will allow local elected officials and Rep. Hwang to conduct an open forum regarding local and state issues. Rep. Hwang, who was previously employed in the executive search industry, said the economy dictated the theme of the first town meeting he will host.

“The economy we’ve seen in the past year is much different from past downturns,” said Rep. Hwang. “The major change is that we’re seeing many successful people who’ve held mid-level and high-level jobs realize that other comparable positions in their industry simply aren’t there anymore. It’s my hope that bringing in professionals well-versed in workplace transition and job skills can help some of our neighbors who very much need to rejoin the workforce.”

Panelists will include:

Joseph Carbone, President and Chief Executive Officer of The WorkPlace, Inc. The organization helps people prepare for careers and strengthens the workforce for employers.
