How to
Reward
Employees
When You
Have
Little
(or No)
Budget
 In
this
economy,
we
are
all
doing
more
with
less.
How
then
can
you
recognize
and
reward
those
"star
performers"
who
are
going
above
and
beyond
every
day,
especially
when
merit
budgets
are
limited
or
non
existent?
We'll
talk
about
ideas
for
identifying,
recognizing,
and
rewarding
those
individuals
that
are
making
a
difference
in
your
jurisdiction.

Achieving
Cultural
Competency
 Success
in
today’s
organizations
requires
moving
from a
basic
understanding
of
diversity
and
inclusion
to
cultural
competency.
What’s
the
difference?
In this
session
we will
discuss
a
definition
of
cultural
competency,
how it
differs
from
diversity
and why
it is so
critical
for us
to
become
adept at
it.
Learn
the
strategy
one
organization
is using
to
develop
this
competency
in their
workforce.
