Marketwired
Kenexa (NASDAQ: KNXA), a global provider of business solutions for
human resources, today announced that Bob Hurley, Chairman of
Beckman Coulter Japan and Senior Vice President, Human Resources of
Beckman Coulter, will join best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell and
other notable presenters as a keynote speaker at the upcoming 2010
Kenexa World Conference. Happening Tuesday, September 21 through
Thursday, September 23, 2010, in Philadelphia, Pa., the Kenexa
World Conference will give companies the information they need to
transform HR and move from potential to performance.
The addition of Hurley rounds out the impressive speaker lineup
for the event, which includes Malcolm Gladwell; Major General
Donald M. Campbell, Jr., Commanding General of the United States
Army Recruiting Command; Sam Fouad of Ernst & Young; and Peter
Goerke of Zurich Insurance Company, Ltd.
During his presentation, "Transforming an Organization by
Transforming Human Resources," Hurley will share how Beckman
Coulter, a $2.6 billion global biomedical testing company,
revolutionized its culture from a reactive, stodgy, no-growth
company to one focused on innovation and achievement. He also will
explore the integral role that human resources -- and Kenexa's
award-winning solutions -- played in the transformation.
In his current role at Beckman Coulter, Hurley leads the
worldwide human resources function and is responsible for the
Japanese subsidiary, including commercial, R&D and
manufacturing operations based in Japan. With extensive experience
in human resources, line management and business development, he
helped Beckman Coulter negotiate the successful acquisition of a
$500 million chemistry diagnostics business based in Japan, rebuild
the human resources function within Beckman Coulter, redesign the
company's talent management and assessment processes, and lead a
major restructuring of the corporation in response to the changing
market environment. Prior to Beckman Coulter, Hurley served as vice
president in a number of roles at Baxter International. He also
served as a Captain in the United States Army and holds a Bachelor
of Arts degree in political science from the University of
Georgia.
The fifth annual Kenexa World Conference promises to transform
HR through outliers, helping organizations move beyond potential to
drive business performance. To reveal true human potential to
improve business results, companies must identify and nurture high
performers and create the right environment for them to thrive.
Attendees of the conference will come to understand how the right
individuals in the right environment lead to ultimate success.
The 2010 Kenexa World Conference will be held at The Sheraton
Society Hill Hotel, One Dock Street, Philadelphia, Pa. For more
