    Instructor, Management Department, College of Business & Management

    As part of this position, I am also the College Adviser for the UIS SHRM Chapter. http://www.uis.edu/management/society-for-human-resource-management/

  • University of Illinois Springfield

    The guidance that the chapter advisor provides is the primary element in establishment and continuity of the student group. The advisor's understanding of the human resource field and recognition of benefits of participation in an established professional community guides his or her actions. A general interest in and enthusiasm for the students' efforts and activities and attendance at planned events are important contributions that the advisor makes throughout the year. A chapter may have co-advisors; however, one person should be identified as the primary contact.

    Responsibilities:
    -Primary contact for Society headquarters.
    -Receives chapter materials for distribution to officers.
    -Advises chapter officers on the formation and implementation of the chapter's goals, objectives and programs.
    -Ensures that the chapter understands the role of SHRM as a professional organization.

    Another great article written by Andre where he quotes others and I: "If someone is very task-driven [and] without people skills, they can drive turnover up and cause a toxic relationship with the team they are managing." "Employees need to open up to employers about needs and concerns they have," Rogers said. "They need to build their own self-confidence to have an open dialogue with the organization." "It is a mutual relationship. It's not just about the employer."

  • Essential Metrics for People Analytics: 10 HR Thought Leaders Weigh In

    The McQuaig Institute

    I'm one of the 10 HR Thought Leaders Quoted “Turnover is the most important especially when broken down into voluntary and involuntary. There are reasons for both that can be attributed to management but some involuntary is simply the nature of the beast. The real measure is voluntary as it relates to retention. Reasons for high turnover must be addressed. It's costly to the organization in so many ways.”

  • Here's What Uber's New CEO -- and All New CEOs -- Can Do To Succeed Where Others Have Failed

    Entreprenuer

    Andre Lavoie, the author of this article interviewed me and others quoted. "Donna Rogers, founder of Rogers HR Consulting, in Springfield Ill., said she believes this lack of communication is actually the most powerful fault of leaders. Often, communication efforts aren’t even enough, she said: A top-down approach must be used, focused on and implemented. It’s also important, she said, to bring employees into strategic meetings to let them know first-hand what is happening under the new leadership. In other words: Don't keep things secretive. “Every company has leaks,” Rogers shared with me via email. “Word gets out and then you have to deal with a firestorm, which possibly turns out to be an internal PR nightmare.”"
