WAYNE, Pa.?(BUSINESS WIRE)?It?s a perfect match: Mike Rowe, America?s workforce ambassador, has partnered with Kenexa (NYSE: KNXA), a global provider of business solutions for human resources, to inspire, educate and entertain HR professionals who attend Kenexa World Conference (KWC) Orlando 2012. Rowe, the creator, executive producer and host of Discovery Channel?s Emmy?-nominated series Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe, is on a mission to help deliver the message that hard work is noble and dirt washes off.
Rowe?s message is an ideal fit for a Kenexa-sponsored forum. Kenexa helps companies all around the world hire the best talent, maximize the performance of their workforce and match the right candidate with the right job.
KWC Orlando 2012 ?Once Upon a Tomorrow: Sharing Stories that Move Business? will be held Oct. 17-18 at Disney?s Contemporary Resort at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The conference provides a forum where Human Resources experts share their expertise and stories about how to move business through best talent management practices.
?We share Mike Rowe?s value of respecting hard work, which is why we devote vast resources to help companies hire the best people and then provide ways for them to succeed in a wide range of jobs, from skilled labor to leadership positions,? said Rudy Karsan, co-founder and chief executive officer at Kenexa. ?Mike?s passion for recognizing hardworking people who enjoy what they do is one that we share. HR practitioners who attend KWC Orlando will be able to apply what they learn from Mike to strengthen their workforce and make a positive impact on the lives of the people they serve.?
Rowe likely has had more jobs than anyone on the planet. As the host of Dirty Jobs since 2005, Rowe has traveled to all 50 states, working as an apprentice on more than 300 jobs that most people would prefer to avoid. The goal of Dirty Jobs is to celebrate hardworking people who make life easier for everyone.
Working on Dirty Jobs led Rowe to start his website mikeroweWORKS.com and the mikeroweWORKS Foundation, which encourage people to consider making skilled labor a career and to draw attention to the steady decline in the trade industries.
In addition to working on Dirty Jobs, Rowe is the voice of Discovery Channel?s Deadliest Catch, which tells the stories of a fleet of crab fishermen as they work in the Bering Sea, and is the national spokesperson for Ford. Rowe also spent time as a professional musician with the Baltimore Opera and was a host on QVC Cable Shopping Channel.
In addition to Rowe, five-time Olympic swimmer Dara Torres and HGTV co-founder Susan Packard will deliver keynote speeches at KWC Orlando 2012.
Registration is now open for KWC Orlando 2012 at www.kenexaworldconference.com. The deadline for early registration has been extended until Sept. 14, which will save attendees $200 off the cost of the conference. The conference will include a full agenda of breakout sessions led by industry experts, keynote presentations, entertainment and special events.
Kenexa World Conference Orlando is one of three World Conference events Kenexa will hold in 2012. Kenexa World Conference London was held in May while Kenexa World Conference Shanghai will be held on Sept. 19.
