Manage Performance Through Timely Feedback: The Puppy Theory
Webcast:
When asked how she gives employee feedback, Carol Bartz (CEO of Yahoo) had this answer: "I have the puppy theory. When the puppy pees on the carpet, you say something right then because you don't say six months later, "Remember that day, January 12th, when you peed on the carpet?" That doesn't make any sense. "This is what's on my mind. This is quick feedback." And then I'm on to the next thing."
Especially important in this economic climate are the following questions: How does your organization manage feedback to employees? An annual review can be such a generalized view of a given employee's performance, with few concrete areas for improvement that relate back to specific areas of concern. How is your organization currently handling reviews? Does it seem outdated, or do both employees and leaders see meaningful gains following reviews? Join us for this webcast to examine how more regular communications and changes in process enable organizations to retain top performers, drive better performance and heal the grudges and grievances caused by the recession. more »

Performance Management: Processes and Practices
Webcast:
In August 2009, the Human Capital Institute and Workscape launched a research project to better understand how American organizations are approaching employee performance management. The research included a survey of the HCI membership, in which 690 respondents took part.
Despite the widespread conviction that performance management is an ongoing and continuous requirement, the majority of organizations appear to measure employee performance only annually (39%) or twice per year (29%). Only 11% of respondents reported that their organizations measure performance dynamically throughout the year.
Why are these results so disparate? What can be done-- if anything-- to improve performance management? Join us for this hour to review the research, examine the results, and gain a better understanding of how to improve on our own performance.
Preserving Cash vs. Preserving Talent: Are You Prepared for Recovery?
Webcast:
For the past 12-18 months, prudent businesses have flipped into "cash preservation" mode to insulate the business from the negative effects of the economy. The reduction or elimination of bonuses and merit increases that have protected your business through the downturn, however, can have a detrimental effect on retention as markets improve. How do you know when to begin making the turn from 'cash preservation' mode to 'talent preservation' mode? Where do you start and what can you do to keep your best workers motivated, focused and loyal in the meantime? This webcast will focus on planning and managing your workforce through this balancing act-- and coming out as an employer of choice in the upturn. more »
Corporate Compensation: Should the Government Intervene?
Webcast:
How out-of-control is corporate compensation? Will this "great recession" impact the workplace forever?
You may think you know from what you've seen in the media. But together, Workscape and HCI have shed some light on the real story. Our survey of hundreds of HR leaders, plus candid interviews with 10 industry experts, tells the truth about what's really happening in compensation approaches today...and offers ideas on how it might eventually be fixed through new rules, legislation and other approaches.
Join the researchers as we reveal the surprising findings and opinions we uncovered about workforce management and pay-for-performance trends, including comments and proposed solutions from names like Peter Cappelli, Graef Crystal and Lance Berger, among others. You'll receive a copy of the full study when you attend. more »
Total Rewards: Is HR Aligned With Employee Expectations?
Webcast:
When you are striving to be an employee-centric employer, your goal is to provide your employees with a holistic and collaborative experience. To retain and attract high performers, it's crucial to align your rewards program with their expectations. In this fragile economic climate with shifting demographics, can you be sure what those expectations are and how they may shift in the next decade?
Walking the tightrope between total rewards and cost containment is inevitable for many of us as we face monetary and generational challenges. Therefore, it's more important than ever to understand what your priorities should be-- retirement? health care? or something else entirely? This webcast will address trends in total rewards and what you can do to stay on the cutting edge of employee needs while still balancing your budget. Additionally, we'll address how to communicate those rewards-- and examine how best information practices can be a reward in itself. more »
Employee Centric HR: What's It All About?
Webcast:
Integrated Talent Management has been the subject of several HCI webcasts and white papers over the past several years yet, to date, we haven't explored the question of Total Rewards integration with a talent management platform that provides for visibility and the participation of the workforce. In August 2008, the Human Capital Institute conducted a survey of its membership to identify and better understand current market perceptions and emerging market needs surrounding the integration of Compensation & benefits and talent management solutions into a single, employee-centric solution offered on a single platform. The findings of the survey bring to light several key benefits of employee-centric talent management solutions. Join HCI's Executive Director, Allan Schweyer as we discuss the main findings of the research and the practical benefits of employee-centric HR. more »
