Mar 2010: Knowledge sharing the key for HR

Accumulate, proud sponsors of HR Summit 2010, hosted by marcus evans summits


22nd February 2010

marcus evans Summits is pleased to announce Accumulate as an esteemed sponsor at the HR Summit 2010, on 10-12 March, taking place at the prestigious RACV Royal Pines Resort, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

Accumulate helps many well-known Australian organisations get the most from their people. As reward, recognition and incentive specialists, we get to the heart of what really makes employees tick; we develop original solutions that energise, inspire and educate staff, change their behaviour and ultimately, boost their performance and help create a more successful culture.

Accumulate is the largest operating division of Wishlist Holdings which was founded in 1999 and specialises in staff reward and recognition, sales and channel incentive programmes, customer rewards and retail loyalty programmes. The business is Melbourne-based, servicing a national client base that includes many of Australia's leading brands.

Accumulate's clients have the option of partially or fully outsourcing their programme requirements to Accumulate, drawing on its IP, experience and knowledge gained from designing, building and managing programmes for over 70 leading Australian brands.

The staff at Accumulate pride themselves on developing long-term relationships with clients, partners and suppliers, built on trust and open communication.

In a constantly evolving and exceedingly demanding market environment an organisation's biggest asset is unquestionably its human capital. With unpredictable forces constantly affecting the marketplace, the optimal way of safeguarding against aggressive competition and grid locking future success, is by fully focusing on the organisation’s foremost asset; its people.

At a time when talent is increasingly harder to detect and when a formerly rich talent pool is quickly running dry, the emphasis on human capital lies in fully training and developing the workforce in order to materialise ambitious future goals. Attracting, recruiting and developing individuals will always lie at the core of an organisation's priorities, especially when expanding into emerging markets across the globe. Recruiting on a global scale has never been more complex - an increasingly thrifty and time consuming process for conglomerates worldwide, the recruitment process necessitates filtering of thousands and for some millions of applications per year. Human Resources experts are constantly looking to improve and innovate on common HR practices to deliver the best possible results while simultaneously maximally re-enforcing their company's core goals and practices.

The HR Summit 2010 utilises the experience of others in a condensed format to enrich the understanding of participants. The keynote presentations provide the benchmark for practical application and the summit provides the opportunity to network with senior level practitioners over a period of three days.

marcus evans Summits (www.marcusevans.com), produces high level business platforms for the world’s leading decision-makers. These dynamic and innovative forums initiate and develop business relationships one- to-one between director and C-level practitioners from the world’s most influential organisations with leading product and service suppliers. marcus evans Summits’ guarantees an exclusive format which enables participants to achieve the maximum amount of business and knowledge interaction over a three day event in a stimulating environment.

Alan Heyward, General Manager, Accumulate said “We are very pleased to sponsor the HR Summit 2010. marcus evans have put together a  premium HR event in Australia bringing together the best of Australia’s people leaders to share and discuss the strategies and resources required of businesses to remain competitive not only today but into the future.”
