The New World of Work - (Page 11) a stand for staffin Catch the Wave By Linda Ca rchidi, CSP ng a surfboard requires careful balance, tenacity, and a daring spirit. You could say the same about mastering today’s business climate. So it seems fitting that Staffing World® 2008 will take us to sunny San Diego, a city famous for beautiful beaches and perfect surf. This year’s event promises to be our most exciting ASA convention and expo yet, with an unprecedented number and diversity of participants. In conjunction with Staffing World, we are pleased to host the annual conference of Ciett, the global federation of national staffing trade associations. Some 2,000 staffing professionals from around the world will come together to network and learn from experts in their fields. Where else can you connect with such a distinguished and diverse group of staffing professionals and industry leaders? Our days in San Diego will inspire and equip each of us to step out into a new world of work, leading our companies into the changing times ahead. We will have the awesome opportunity to hear from several world-renowned keynote speakers who are among the top thinkers and innovators in business management. But the learning opportunities don’t stop there. Take advantage of nearly 40 workshops in nine learning tracks, where you and your staff will acquire gems of information that can take your company to the next level. Master best business practices, learn how others are implementing corporate social responsibility and work force diversity programs, and discover inventive search and retention techniques for top talent in this global environment. Gain insight into Masteri ground-breaking concepts such as “client bonding” and other strategies that will enable you to thrive in tomorrow’s marketplace. One of the keynote speakers, Janet Lapp, will discuss the power of ethical and inspirational leadership, giving you a road map that leads you and your staffing firm in the right direction. She will focus on managing business processes to yield a positive effect on society and the environment. I can think of no better way to promote the professionalism of our industry than through our actions and commitment to a better world. If it’s products or services that you’re seeking, you’re sure to find them at Staffing World. The range of products and services—showcased by more than 180 exhibitors—makes the expo a unique opportunity. You can explore and identify new tools and partners to support your future achievements. The Staffing World expo is where I found my company’s software supplier, drug-testing company, and even an advertising agency we engaged for a special project. Every year, Staffing World provides a fertile environment that stimulates synergy and enrichment in our industry. Each year, I bring members of my staff, who leave the convention with new ideas. The networking, keynotes, and workshops energize us all to make a difference. Why not bring your staff too? You may not become a pro at riding out waves on a longboard, but you will master techniques to stay ahead of the curve in today’s fluid world of work. Let the waves of innovation and inspiration carry you to new heights of success. ■ a stand for staffin Staffing Success a stand for st Chair m an 11 a stand for a stand for staffing
