Volunteer engagement often focuses on hard risks: accidents, past bad behavior, or access to confidential information. While these risks are real we often overlook the soft risks that also jeopardize the success and sustainability of volunteer engagement. This session will look at the soft risks associated with engaging volunteers including: “word of mouth” reputation, interactions on social media, lack of training being responsible for inaccurate information being given out, and how failing to screen for characteristics or “fit” can open volunteers, the volunteer engagement program, and the organization up to risk. Attendees will learn to identify these soft risks in their own program through examples, modeled interactions, & learnings from the HR and for-profit sectors, and develop a plan to mitigate the effects on their organization. Attendees will leave with a Soft Risk worksheet as well as action plan for addressing soft risk in recruiting, screening and training volunteers.

Studies have been proved that the implementation of organizational ambidexterity in company is an advantage in order to have a long life expectancy. However, companies tend to abandon organizational ambidexterity. One of the reason is because the implementation of it's aspects tend to induce conflicts. The conflicts due to the implementation of organizational ambidexterity in a company can impact the employees. The aim of this research is to measure the mediation effect from organizational justice in the relationship between organizational ambidexterity and irritation. In the measurements were included the aspects of organizational ambidexterity, which are exploitation and exploration, the aspects of irritation, which are emotional and cognitive irritation, and the aspects of organizational justice, which are distributional justice, interactional justice and procedural justice. There was a full mediation effect of distributional justice in the relationship between exploitation with irritation and there was also a full mediation effect of distributional justice in the relationship between exploitation with cognitive irritation. There were 26 foreign physicians as respondents in this research. This research measured an indirect mediation effect with the SPSS program from Andy F. Hayes. This research revealed that the hospitals implemented exploitation and the highest correlation was between distributional justice and cognitive irritation.

Yuva (Youth) Lead The Change

ASHUTOSH LABROO

I am a very strong believer that the future of a nation is in the hands of its youth. The quality of a nation is therefore truly demonstrated through the quality of its youth. I have often been the bonafide Mentor to several hundreds of youngsters in their careers & I must admit that I learnt more while mentoring them then I learnt from the books I read. This is a small tribute in terms of helping many more hundreds of youngsters in their footsteps to hall of fame. May all you young business enthusiasts shine bright & make your businesses prosper even further.....Amen

Personality Development

lubnasadiyah

Personality Development has been the talk of the town and is the most important aspect in one's life. The students tend to develop the attitude when they approach for an interview but it is not so. This is a self-motivated task and the reflection of an individual towards his or her behaviour, character building, intelligence and perception. SWOT Analysis and Johari Window plays a crucial role in determining the potential of the individual in bringing out the backdrop and reflecting the strengths for the career advancement.

Understand the evolution of the community manager - from managing and building communities to CRM specialist and paid social strategist. The main responsibilities of a community manager over the past 3-4 years have focused greatly on finding best strategies to build communities and plan content that would both entertain the existing community (engagement) and drive additional users to the brand's community. However, as both the users behaviour on social platforms has gradually changed, and the organic distribution algorithms for most social platforms, the skills and thinking required for a community manager have greatly evolved to encourage proactive engagement outside the brand community and the use of a much more hyper-targeted approach to communications.

You Can't Build A Passionate Community If No-One Can Find You - Dominic Woodman

FeverBee Limited

You can have an incredible community, with passionate fans and clever gamification that keep people coming back again and again, but that's not going to matter if people can't find it. Users create all kinds of content, often deep and specific content that’s difficult for marketer or community manager to create, but it's rarely well optimized for being found outside of the community. We’ll look at how you can get better at this, the kinds of processes you should have, the kinds of enhancements should you be making to your CMS and how you can make the most of the small amount of time you have

Legal Issues For Online Communities - David Deakin

FeverBee Limited

Hosting an online community raises numerous legal and regulatory challenges. Are you, as the community host, legally responsible for content submitted or shared by your members? This content may infringe other people’s intellectual property rights; might be defamatory; or could amount to some form of criminal activity. But do you know your responsibilities in relation to these types of content and activity, and how do you ensure you protect yourself by taking advantage of the legal defences available to avoid liability? And what about Data Privacy? European Data Protection Laws are changing dramatically over the next 2 years. Collection and exploitation of personal data may be a significant asset and driver for establishing our community. And in any event trust, privacy by design and regulatory compliance should be at the heart of your strategy. These issues, along with key Marketing Regulations and understanding your relationship with and responsibilities to third parties - such as Facebook and YouTube, or your hosting provider, will be summarised.
