Shari Harley - Avoiding the Quit and Stay Phenomenon: Engage and Retain Your Best Employees
During challenging economic times, when turnover is low, employees still quit, they just don’t leave the building. Quit and stay is the phenomenon of employees becoming disengaged and less productive while waiting for the economy to improve and for other roles to become available. Quit and stay is an unfortunate but avoidable phenomena. Do you know which of your employees are engaged and committed to your organization? Do you have a plan for those who are not? Identify the key drivers of employee engagement, retention and performance and develop a loyal and committed workforce.

Technology and Business Planning for a Law Firm - presented by Mille Lacs Sponsor: Affinity
Simply fixing or replacing technology that breaks will never improve your practice.

This lack of direction can be remedied with a technology plan. In this seminar, we'll show you how to build a technology plan which identifies problems, addresses inefficiencies and problems, and proactively improves your practice. Furthermore, a business plan provides direction and continuity for your overall business objectives. Find out why every law firm needs a business plan and how to build one yourself.
