Presented By: Laurie McIntosh, SHRM-SCP, CAE

As an HR professional, you can play a significant role in promoting the success of your organization by understanding your business objectives and the changing environment – nationally and globally – in which you compete. In this session, you will learn the business skills you need to develop to become a strong contributor to the “bottom line.” You will also review ways to leverage three key tools – analytics, leadership development, and workplace flexibility – to more effectively engage your human capital assets in fulfilling your business goals.

Drawing from 20 years as an HR practitioner with industry experience in health care, consumer packaged goods and banking, Laurie relates to the needs of HR professionals because she’s lived it. Prior to joining SHRM in 2008 she was an active volunteer leader at the chapter and state level in Nebraska including the chapter president of a super mega chapter and NE state council director.  She now works at SHRM headquarters in Alexandria, VA. She received her Master’s degree in Human Resource Management from Capella University and holds both SHRM-SCP (SHRM Senior Certified Professional) and CAE (Certified Association Executive) designations.
