Our meeting will be on March 8, 2017 at the Cullman Chamber of Commerce from 12:00pm-1:00pm.
Lunch will be provided!
Our speaker will be Brandi McKinney. Brandi is a ten-year veteran of HR. A graduate of The University of Alabama, she holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (2001) and a Master of Arts in Management (2006). Brandi attained the Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) and SHRM-Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP) designations in 2014. She currently serves as HR Director at Alabama Credit Union in Tuscaloosa.
She will be speaking to us on When Disaster Strikes: HR Leadership in Times of Crisis
When crisis occurs, HR professionals need to serve as a leader for organizations coping with trauma, rebuilding, and business continuity. Alabama Credit Union was the subject of three-hour armed hostage standoff that involved eleven employees. Working through a critical incident such as this will add to your perspective in ways that daily operations in HR can never teach you. I wish to share my experiences so that other HR professionals can share in the lessons I learned and apply them if they ever experience a similar crisis.
Learning objectives include:
- Understanding how even the best disaster recovery plan may need be modified
- Communications and media relations plans
- Assessing and operating within your “locus of control”
- Understanding how your reactions and responses will be viewed- and emulated- by others
- Short-term and long-term potential effects on your team members
- The importance of immediate and ongoing support for employees, and resources for how each can be accomplished
- Debriefing with your leadership team for better future application
