(Humantech: Ann Arbor, MI) -- Humantech CEO and founder Franz Schneider is among one of the presenters at TEDx Saginaw Valley State University on Aug. 1, 2015. “You Hired an Employee, but a Human Being Showed Up Instead,” will focus on the criteria every organization must embrace to close the gap between “what people can do if they are inspired and the least they do not to get fired.”

Schneider, an expert in human performance, has been advising the world’s most influential and profitable companies since 1979. His ability to make complex things simple and usable is why he’s seen, among many, as one of the most influential leaders in the field of ergonomics, and he’s presented at literally thousands of events.

TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where technology, entertainment, and design converged, and today covers almost all topics—from science to business to global issues—in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
