ASE’s Annual HR Conference

January 28, 2020

ASE, Michigan’s largest employer association and the premier resource for HR excellence, will hold its 17^th Annual HR Conference on March 12 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, MI. The event attracts more than 400 attendees and is the region’s most anticipated one-day Human Resources conference.

“This year’s conference is all about creating a workplace of tomorrow,” stated ASE President & CEO, Mary E. Corrado. “With technology evolving and virtual work becoming the norm, employers must prepare themselves for the workplace of tomorrow. This conference reaches all levels of HR from compliance to strategic planning to talent development and management.”

Keynote speakers at this year’s conference feature two workplace culture experts, Kris Boesch and Tracy Butz.

Kris Boesch, CEO and Founder of Choose People, will present “Social Super Glue: How to Create Camaraderie in Your Workplace.” She’ll share the “social super glue” that’s critical to creating an extraordinary workplace culture and she’ll share how to leverage this “glue” to address common culture challenges such as gossip, entitlement and apathy. This results in culture where perseverance through tough times, inspiration to go the extra mile and retention of top talent is the norm, not the exception.

Tracy Butz, Workplace Culture Expert, Best-Selling Author, and Keynote Speaker, will present “HOLY COW!® How to Create an Amazing Workplace that Steers Passion, Performance & Prosperity.” She will share how to inspire change in dysfunctional, under-performing silos to become motivated, accountable, and committed teams. Attendees will learn how to start influencing a transformation of workplace culture and prosper in the marketplace.
