Marketwired
Kenexa (NASDAQ: KNXA), a global provider of business solutions for
human resources, today announced the addition of sessions that
highlight how retail organizations are transforming human resources
through employee engagement and global HR systems to the agenda of
the upcoming 2010 Kenexa World Conference. Happening Tuesday,
September 21 through Thursday, September 23, 2010, in Philadelphia,
Pa., the Kenexa World Conference will give companies the
information they need to transform HR and move from potential to
performance.
The "Culture and Engagement at Cabela's" presentation will
provide a real-life case study of how Cabela's, a leading specialty
retailer of hunting, fishing, camping and related outdoor
merchandise, used cultural assessments and engagement surveys to
understand the organization, develop its new employee value
proposition -- "The Nature of Cabela's" -- and help express the new
vision for the company. Charles Baldwin, executive vice president
and Chief Administrative Officer at Cabela's, will join Tony Coe,
Kenexa's Culture Consultant, to discuss the theory behind employee
engagement, as well as the process of developing the company's
employee value proposition and the outcomes from its
implementation.
Focused on Lowe's Companies, Inc.'s implementation of Kenexa
Recruiter® BrassRing (KRB) in more than 1,700 locations, the
session, "Rapid High-Volume Solution Deployment at an Impossible
Time," will demonstrate how Lowe's consolidated four applicant
tracking systems and several outdated processes by implementing KRB
in both the U.S. and Canada. Chris Thomsen, vice president of Human
Capital Management Systems at Lowe's, and Susan Addison, manager of
Recruiting Operations at Lowe's, will discuss the rapid deployment
strategy and methodology used. Within five months, at the busiest
time of the year for Lowe's, the first 200 stores were deployed
with all store locations completed within eight months and all
supply chain locations completed within nine months. The presenters
also will share the challenges faced during the implementation and
how Lowe's leveraged KRB to increase efficiencies and add to the
bottom line.
In a session titled "15+20+6+22.5 million=1: How Are We Getting
There?" Antoine Jenkins, senior manager of Recruiting Support and
Strategy for Walmart, will share Walmart's approach to implementing
its first truly global HR system. Jenkins' presentation will
describe how Walmart has addressed its HR needs in 15 countries
with more than 20 unique business units across six legacy systems
and multiple paper-only processes with 22.5 million applications a
year around the globe. The presentation will focus on Walmart's
global implementation of Kenexa 2x BrassRing™, a highly
configurable and scalable global HR technology recruiting
solution.
The fifth annual Kenexa World Conference, which will feature
best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell as a keynote speaker, promises
to transform HR through outliers, helping organizations move beyond
potential to drive business performance. To reveal true human
potential to improve business results, companies must identify and
nurture high performers and create the right environment for them
to thrive. Attendees of the conference will come to understand how
the right individuals in the right environment lead to ultimate
success.
The 2010 Kenexa World Conference will be held at The Sheraton
Society Hill Hotel, One Dock Street, Philadelphia, Pa. For more
