From Zero to 360 Degrees: How Four Generations View Performance ReviewsAvailable to Executive Members

Having a strategic, focused review system is now more important than ever. Clear performance goals provide better business results and a greater employee ROI.

Personalized reviews improve the relevancy of results. Making sure that your review system is up to date and can provide multiple raters may be critical to your success.

Plugged In: The Generation Y Guide to Thriving at WorkAvailable to Executive Members

Webcast: January 21, 2008
The massive"Generation Y"-individuals born during the twenty years spanning 1980 to 2000-has begun pouring into the workforce in earnest. Seventy to ninety million strong in the United States, Y's are the first generation born "wired" and reared in a global, networked world. The good news is, employers desperately need Y's. The bad news is, today's managers-heralding from older generations with very different values, aspirations, and approaches to work-tend to view Y's as impatient, demanding, and hard to work with. How can Y's change that perception-and find a way to connect with a world of work that's not quite ready for them?

In Plugged In: The Generation Y Guide to Thriving at Work, industry guru Tamara Erickson argues that as the changing demographics of the workplace shift power away from Boomers, Y's will find themselves with increasing opportunities to reshape their relationship with those who employ them. The key to success, Erickson says, will be for Y's to find constructive ways to "plug in" to corporations and connect with the colleagues they find there. This won't be easy in today's multigenerational workforce, but it will be essential if Y's are to embrace the incredible opportunities opening up for them. Based on five years of eye-opening research on the needs and preferences of Generation Y, this live webcast provides a detailed profile of this influential generation as a whole-who they are, what they value, and what they're looking for in their life and career-and then shows Y's how to use this information to customize a career path that suits their own passions, values, and goals. more »

It's a case of Big Band meets Timbaland, and it's all happening in your conference room.

This webcast will focus on managing the cultures and commonalities of the multi-generation workplace. We'll be digging deeper into what makes these generations of workers tick, and what has shaped their work ethics and values, and what top performing companies are doing to capitalize on these unique differences.

Critical Talent Practices to Manage the Generational TurnAvailable to Executive Members

Webcast: May 22, 2008
One American worker in six is over the age of 55. 45% of the workforce is between the ages of 40 and 57. It's a four generation workforce, and your most experienced workers are retiring in droves. What do these numbers mean for you, your organization, and your succession plan? What can you do to ensure that as your employees leave, you have an effective multi-generational knowledge transfer and a proactive replacement plan?

Succession planning can't happen when your technically savvy sales manager gives two week notice, or when your most experienced accounting professional decides they'll be retiring in June. It needs to be part of an overall performance plan that is accepted and embraced by all levels of your organization. This webcast will examine successes and common pitfalls in succession planning, and show you how to implement best practices. We'll discuss how you can ensure that your employee loyalty, corporate goals and bottom line don't suffer as the face of your shifts and changes over the next decade. more »

I Can Do It Myself! Providing Gen X and Gen Y Employees with A New Breed of e-learning ToolsAvailable to Executive Members

Webcast: October 22, 2008
It's a consistent message that we hear in human capital today-Gen X and Y employees have different needs and expectations than their more mature counterparts. They operate in a just-in-time, "need to know" framework-and these new employees expect that internal corporate systems and processes mirror that mindset. So when it comes to training, is a traditional, manual driven classroom situation the way to go? Not a chance. Many of your youngest employees have been experiencing on-demand and distance learning since primary school-and they will expect the same from their employer to further their career path.

"Motivate, attract and retain" is your mantra- and you can do so more effectively with more efficient technology training tools-that may well appeal to all four generations of your workforce, not just the youngest two! Join us for this hour of learning with a real life study from to illustrate the successes of such a program. We'll discuss the feature, benefits and successes of corporate e-learning, showing you how to impact both employee satisfaction and your bottom line. more »
