Judi Clements, President of Judi Clements Training & Development, was selected by the Hudson Mohawk American Society of Training & Development to speak at the annual conference in Albany, NY on the topic of "Communicating to Staff in a Down Economy." The annual conference is the premier training event and tradeshow of the Capital Region. Training professionals are offered a variety of topics on the latest trends in training, learning, and technology.

Managers Need Information

Clements' topic was especially relevant this year due to the massive cuts in jobs, business, and opportunity in both public and private sector business. According to Clements: "Managers want to know how to motivate their employees as they deal with wage freezes, layoffs, and budget belt-tightening."

Clements' session was attended by a variety of public and private sector organizations. They learned about the importance of transparency in tough times. According to Clements, "Some organizations try to hide bad news; that instinct is wrong. When you have a problem, it is better to be honest with employees and get them on your side as you try to fix it."

According to Clements, "HMASTD is one of the most progressive chapters in the nation. They have also been ahead of the curve in bringing outstanding events to their members and to the public."
