Arrrrg and ERC in Orlando
When's the last time you wrote something, edited it, read it, left it, came back to it, then went to use it and *poof* it was gone. Either not saved or corrupt or *poof* That happened to someone I know yesterday and I remember thinking "why weren't you saving your work." Well, Murphy's Law triumphs again and I just experienced it myself. Shame, shame, shame.
ERC's national convention http://www.erc.org/news_events/nrc06_session_topics.shtml is nearly upon us, do you have all of your parties lined up? Of course you do, now its time to look at the sessions. I'm excited by some of the topics and it looks like there will be some "teeth" to some of these sessions. I hope that the reality proves worthy of the descriptions. There's nothing worse than when you are anticipating a lively discussion and everyone up on the panel talks real nice-nice. Here's a couple that have caught my eye:
Putting All the Pieces Together – Policy Design and Balance**
Thursday, May 18
10:30 a.m. – 12 NoonThis session will help you achieve a deeper awareness of how policy pieces fit together, and will discuss balancing the full program versus just looking at each component of your policy individually on a cost vs. culture basis. Attendees will develop a deeper understanding of how all policy components fit together to ensure the greatest return on spend and achieve the intended corporate goals and objectives. Learn what drivers affect balance and how to address these issues. Discover ideas and strategies to ensure solid solutions in meeting relocation goals when designing your policy and program delivery.
Will There Be Anyone There for your Transferee on Moving Day?**
Friday, May 19, 2006
8:30 – 10:00 a.m.As capacity shrinks, and direct costs increase, many household goods service providers are becoming more selective as to where to commit their resources. Discover the ramifications of pricing, policy, and process decisions on your ability to find services for your transferees. This session will provide you with the tools to make your program attractive and ensure the highest quality service available in today’s competitive marketplace while meeting your corporate objectives.
Both seem to me very pertinent to large and small relo programs, as well as US and Global.
In case you are not able to attend this year (I know a lot of people not coming, due to travel budgets, time constraints and/or they don't want this to be the one relo industry trip they take this year). Regardless, I will be doing my best to blog from the convention. So keep an eye out for my field reports. And if you want me to keep my eye out or ears open for something in particular, then let me know.
