Marc S. Miller

Before the Covid Pandemic, Ms. HR Job was targeted by many within her organization and done away with. This was vividly shown by Marc Miller in his brilliant talk /”show”, a detective story called “Who killed Ms. Harriet Rose Job (HR JOB)?” In this, his 2017 – 2018 keynote “Detective” Miller showed us that Ms. HR Job was considered (among other things) as having the work traits that showed her to be Irrelevant, Indifferent Indecisive Incompetent and Inflexble with no new skills, as he called them the “5 Fatal I’s”. But now, as a result of Covid (enter “Connie Vid) (Ms.) HR Job is at the center of many issues and initiatives vital to the survival of an organization. HR Job is now considered critical by all and must be heard and preserved and she must never again die. She must be Immortal!. How did this happen? Who and what helped Hs. Harriet Rose Job be resurrected and become needed and critical if not IMMORTAL? Find out by attending this lively presentation

Ms. Harriet Rose Job (HR Job) was found dead - at her workplace. This is a “police procedural” - conducted by detective Marc S Miller who explores the Crime beginning with Crime Scene photos and a list of suspects and other "persons of interest" including: "Benny Fits" (Benefits), "Pai Roal" (Payroll), "Harry I. Is" (HRIS), Bebe Boomer, Cher Holder (Shareholders), Ed Konomy (the economy), Mel Lenial (Millennial), Sue "Sis" Stems, etc..; each having specific motives and opportunity. Find out if her death was Murder or Suicide?

Ms. H. R. Job became a target and then victim, for among other reasons, she had minimal or no CLOUT or influence to her peers and within her organization. This presentation will include an anecdotal but fact based Clout Questionnaire, where attendees will be able to determine their own Level of Clout (both personal and professional). The use of HR Technology as a driver in gaining and maintaining CLOUT within the HR realm and while working on teams is discus

Based on the popular best seller "MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS" (by John Gray, PhD), this session will explore the issue of communications and how the lack of, or presence of, effective communications plays a significant role in causing the potential success or failure of HR system design and implementation as well as the impact on the development of related business process improvements.

A verbal questionnaire will be used to determine the current communications style and effectiveness of the session attendees as communicators.

Additionally, this session will explore how individuals have their own conflict resolution styles and how these differing styles can be permitted to interact on an effective team.

Using pertinent and humorous adaptations of Science Fiction movie clips and still pictures, Marc Miller will emphasis the importance of Team Building and Teamwork to the achievement of a successful implementation of HR and Benefits Technology..

To the HR Technology professional, an HRMS must be considered to be the significant component of his/her success. A successful HRMS capacity, well received by user and Senior management alike, should lead to personal growth and success. One major component of gaining success, both personally and professionally, is when an individual is thought to have influence or "CLOUT".

This session will discuss the general issues surrounding the components of CLOUT...what makes a person have CLOUT and others not, how to get CLOUT and how to keep it.

Todays shifting workforce – becoming heavily dependent on Millennial’s and even younger generations – create a challenge in terms of attracting and retaining this generation in any company. One solution and one proven “want” is that these generations seek independence, and a positive and technically rich work experience, one that they perceive includes freedom, challenge and trust.

Wouldn’t it be fun to market a session.. or even a webinar about “nothing”.. using Seinfeld HR (or HR Tech).. in the title.. the “nothing" would be.. “NOTHING" BUT WHAT THE ATTENDEES WANT TO DISCUSS. (The show Seinfeld is known as a show about “nothing” - that was the original concept underlying the pitch to TV execs).
The expectation would be that attendees - would be prepared to (or just raise) ANY TOPIC OF INTEREST.. RELATED TO THEIR OWN ISSUES OR HR TECH IN GENERAL.
Marc Miller will provide INITIAL thought leadership about a particular topic. By “though leadership” it can be an initial opinion, acting as a sounding board… etc. and the attendees will hear each others issues and narrative…and a transference of ideas, thought leadership and information about various issues on the minds of the attendees would ensue.

As a nationally known HR Tech industry consultant, my sole proprietorship’s primary focus has been on helping clients determine needs, document requirements, build strategic plans, prepare an RFP and the formal evaluation of multiple vendor proposals. As a result, since 1983 I have “seen a lot” and “covered a lot” as the Farmer’s commercials tend to say. I will be delighted to share my opinions and observations to the attendees. This session will have no formal agenda or materials beyond what I might create to address specific topics that might be previously submitted to me through IHRIM. 1. Sharing my thoughts and opinions and my learning’s based on decades in HR Technology and my interactions with many of the HRMS providers both well known and those not so well known 2. Answer any questions from the attendees, providing guidance or thoughtful ideas to help them navigate their own paths for evaluation and selecting.
