    Over the last two Minnesota legislative sessions a series of labor laws were passed and amended.  Earned Sick and Safe Time (ESST) is one of those laws and impacts every employer and employee in the state.  This presentation will provide an overview of the ESST law and highlight the 2024 legislative amendments and what they mean for employers.  Attendees will hear directly from the agency charged with implementing, overseeing and enforcing ESST and will have the chance to ask questions specific to their business situation.

    Ghosting is an issue that has plagued employers for years, but recently, this phenomenon has seen the disapparation of more applicants than ever before, almost reaching a new high of 28% in some industries. While many employers are blaming the rising generation, laziness, lack of respect or professionalism, etc., what if part of the problem was the employer’s fault?

    In this session we will cover how to become an HR ghostbuster by looking at three specific areas where ghosting occurs the most. Understanding why it occurs is the only way to potentially mitigate the issue and give your organization the opportunity to attract applicants, while keeping them interested and engaged to avoid losing them along the way. 

    Finally, you will learn a bit more about quiet quitting, and how ghosting is related to this underlying issue. 

    What would you do if you learned that quiet quitting is sometimes a call for help? 

    Come learn to be an HR Ghostbuster, and you will have applicants and employees alike answering the question: 

    Who you gonna call? 

    Why, HR of course! 

    Core Learning Objectives:

    • Understand how the application process can cause ghosting and three immediate practices that can be implemented to mitigate ghosting at this stage of the process.
    • Define the job seeker persona to help avoid the common mistakes that lead to ghosting and understand how the job ad has a direct impact on the likelihood of ghosting from the application stage to the interview process.
    • Gain a sound understanding of how manager engagement during the interview process can help stop ghosting and learn the three core elements needed to help managers better prepare for the interview.

    About our Presenter:

    Steven J. Smith


    Steve will be the first to tell you that recruiting is marketing. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Finance at Brigham Young University and started his career in recruiting in Feb 2005. In 2008, he took a risk during a recession to help start a new company with Ryan Kohler, called ApplicantPro, an applicant tracking software platform for small to mid-sized businesses. With 11,000 clients and close to 300 employees, ApplicantPro has made the Inc 5000 list 11 years in a row, a feat accomplished by very few organizations in the country. ApplicantPro was also named an Indeed Platinum Partner in 2023, one of only four companies in the country to receive this designation. Steve is SHRM-CP and PHR certified, and currently volunteers as the Utah SHRM State Director. His book, The Hiring Tree: Laws of Applicant Attraction, was released in early 2023, and has helped thousands of organizations across the country rethink the way they approach hiring. If you need help understanding the principles and role of SEO and marketing when it comes to attracting job seekers, Steve provides a solid framework for hiring.
