Retaining Staff
Richard Tuck, Lander International
In a candidate scarce marketplace such as the internal audit
profession is currently experiencing, corporations are putting more
emphasis on retaining the quality people they already have on their
teams. In this luncheon session Richard Tuck, the CEO and founder of
the nation’s largest audit recruiting firm, will share his insights
into why auditors leave their jobs and what can be done to keep
them.
There are many misconceptions about most people leaving jobs
because another company offers more money. Actually the salary issue
is usually far down the list of reasons why someone is dissatisfied.
What is interesting is that most managers have within their control
the ability to retain the vast majority of people they lose. They
just don’t know why their staff members are disappointed or what
they are seeking in a new opportunity. This session will highlight
what successful departments are doing to increase their retention
rates for auditors.

Influence, Persuasion and Negotiating:
Key Skills for

Richard Tuck, Lander International
An auditor's effectiveness is highly dependent upon his/her ability
to influence and persuade others to give their support and provide
information and assistance or to take appropriate action. This highly
interactive workshop is designed to show auditors at any organizational
level how to have more effective interactions with auditees, bosses,
subordinates, peers, colleagues and others that they want to influence.
It will explore the differences between power, influence and
manipulation. In addition, auditors will learn how people process
information and help them tune into information gathering and decision
making strategies that different people use so that they can become more
powerful influencers.
