| Nov 3 Chamber Roundtable (Spotsylvania) |
Speaker Jeffrey Wade, President of Anchor TotalHR
Are You Driving Your Profits with Strategic Human Resources? Practical High-End HR Initiatives For Businesses
Business Owners, Presidents and CEOs…
Many small to mid-sized businesses don’t have the internal expertise that larger companies have when it comes to Human Resources, and that puts them at a competitive disadvantage.
And prior to being of a size that warrants a full time, qualified, expert HR employee, handling employment is often just seen as a low level paper-pusher and compliance police job and a drain on overhead expenses.
But you can change that!
Our high-end, strategic, business roundtable will expose you to a perspective on the P&L and Human Resources that you have never seen before. Learn about how employment and employee matters can be handled with a profit-focused purpose, like at larger companies, whether you have 5, 25, 55, 105, or 305 employees.

Session Description
This interactive panel discussion is meant to answer questions regarding CEO succession planning which can often be overlooked until it becomes a corporate crisis. Which side of the baton are you on? Do you have retirement and sandy beaches in your near future? Maybe you're just getting started and want to buy an existing company or take over the family business. Whatever your situation, there's plenty to consider. This session will provide an overview of what you'll need for a successful handoff that will put your organization in a winning position.
If you’re unsure if this session is for you, ask yourself if you’ve considered the following:
• Why should my organization have a succession plan?
• What is the most important factor in building a succession plan?
• How do I gain buy-in from employees and the management team?
• What are some common pitfalls?
Many myths surround this process. Panelists will share their perspectives on the following:
- Companies know who the next CEO will be
- There is one best model for succession planning
- The Board of Directors is best suited to evaluate CEO talent
