Chicago, Illinois

Overview

Chicago United has produced the Employee Network Group (ENG) Forum Series since 2004. The Forum has tackled a wide variety of issues ranging from organizing an ENG and building the business case to engaging executive management in the process. The Forum has also explored articulating the value of ENGs and setting and accomplishing organizational goals and objectives.

The 2009 Employee Network Group Forum will focus on three key elements in the professional development process. Utilizing the Personal Insights Profile™ we will allow each participant to assess his/her competency in communicating, adapting behavioral styles, and managing internal and external conflict in the work environment. The session will be facilitated by Guy Summers, president, Farrell Group, LLC, a widely recognized expert in professional development and executive coaching.

In keeping with the theme of the Forum, you will take away from this experience a very valuable tool that will allow you to continue to assess your competency.

Value

The Employee Network Group Forum is a free half-day forum where leaders of ENGs, human resource professionals, and members of senior management have the opportunity to share information and strategies. Work at the Chicago United ENG Forum helps to build winning workforces and to create more culturally competent work environments. The only investment you make is your time.

Employee network groups are an important resource in building the next generation of leaders, and have the potential to add significant value to members and employers.
