SUMMARY:Caregiven "App Jam" Focus Group
DESCRIPTION:The team at Caregiven invites you to an interactive introduction to their newly released app. \nRegister here in advance. \nIn this virtual hour-long focus group called an “App Jam\,” participants will have the opportunity to download and begin using the app\, while sharing observations about the product and their personal experience caring for a loved one – and for Portland area participants\, enjoying some locally made provisions from Three Little Figs and The Cracker King. \nIf you are or have been a caregiver or are concerned about giving care to a loved one in the future\, we hope you will join us. While this topic is often heavy on our hearts\, planning and openly talking about plans are the best way to ensure that everyone is able to give and receive the care of their choosing. \nAbout the Founder:\nCandice Smith \nShortly after her father was diagnosed with terminal cancer\, Candice Smith decided to read his favorite book\, How Green Was My Valley. The impact of Richard Llewellyn’s words when he wrote: “Men like my father cannot die. They are with me still\, real in memory as they were in flesh\, loving and beloved forever” changed how Candice viewed her father’s end-of-life journey and how she celebrates his memory. \nInspired to change the experiences for all family caregivers\, in 2017 Candice founded Caregiven\, a mobile app and platform that guides users to the support and services they need by spending less time overwhelmed with administrative tasks and having more meaningful time with their loved one. When she’s not advocating for how individuals\, societies and cultures think and approach informal caregiving\, she’s celebrating living in the Pacific NW with her husband\, two children\, family and friends. \nRegister here in advance.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Retaining + Recruiting Top Talent in a Post-COVID World
DESCRIPTION:The COVID Comeback: Retaining + Recruiting Top Talent in a Post-COVID World \nMissed it? Watch the recording of this program on our YouTube Channel. \nPlease join us for a Virtual Lunch & Learn presentation on retaining and recruiting top talent in a Post-COVID work environment. \nDo you have the best hybrid work model for your company? The Pandemic has forced many companies to look at their remote work structure more extensively\, permanently altering the landscape of retaining and recruiting their top talent. In the Life Sciences space\, this becomes even more complex given some employee populations\, like ones that do work in a lab\, need to be on-site to do their work. While other populations\, under the same proverbial roof\, have roles more conducive to remote-based work. \nHow do we create the right set-up that maximizes your workforce potential while maintaining equity across an organization? Also\, since this changes your talent pool and creates an even more complex landscape for winning latent\, what things should be considered to position yourself for success? In this Lunch and Learn we look at the complexities involved for both employers and employees to curate an optimal balance in this new work environment. \nAbout the Speakers:\nRuba Asmussen\, Owner and Managing Director of RTA Consulting along with Steve Waterman\, Senior Recruiting Consultant and Helen Sustarich\, Recruiting Programs Specialist from RTA Consulting.

Ruba holds a BA in Molecular and Cellular Biology from UC Berkeley\, is a mom of two\, a tribute-band rock guitarist and a total hiring-nerd. \nSteve Waterman has 17 years of technical and non-technical recruiting experience across a variety of industries\, including manufacturing\, healthcare\, natural resources and aerospace. His favorite part of being in recruiting is helping to advance the careers of the candidates he helps hire and seeing the positive impact they have on the companies they join. In his free time\, you’ll find Steve enjoying the Pacific Northwest outdoors (especially Cape Kiwanda on the Oregon Coast\, Mt. Hood\, and the waterfalls of the Columbia River Gorge)\, the Portland/Vancouver restaurant and microbrewery scene\, and going to Portland Timbers games. \nHelen Sustarich’s passion for relationship building has led her to a career of 10+ years in Customer Service and Human Resources. Gaining a variety of HR programs experience with Genentech’s contingent workforce\, Helen comes to RTA fueled by the satisfaction of helping others; whether a new hire wanting to know next steps\, a manager needing guidance on dealing with a sticky situation\, or collaborating with colleagues on a project to improve the employee experience.
