Q. As a first-time attendee, what are your thoughts thus far of the conference?
Camilla: I think this event offers a great variety of information, and that’s what I’m looking for. I also really like the fact that it’s specific to health care, which allows me to drill down and get specific to what my needs are and what I can take back to my organization.
Q. What Learning Sessions are on your agenda?
Camilla: I want to attend sessions that talk about reducing time to fill or at least reducing the time to get started when hiring a new person. I also want to attend the new employee orientation session. Those are two specific areas that I’m working on currently, so I want to learn new ideas to make those more efficient and effective.
Q. What’s the one thing you really want to walk away with after conference knowledge-wise?
Camilla: Learning more about communicating effectively and having those difficult discussions. I think that’s going to be really key to my success – building relationships with both my colleagues and the people I serve. And secondly, I’d like to find out what’s on the horizon for health care HR so I can have an idea of where I want to position myself in my career, as well as provide insight and support to my company as we move into the future.
