Managing Transitions: Facing an Uncertain Future in The New Business Reality

Webcast: February 25, 2010
2009 saw unprecedented reductions in force. Such dramatic, fundamental changes in business make us question not only our business models but how we manage the workforce in an ever-changing environment. Some believe consumer spending has changed forever and that more change is on the horizon for most organizations, be it streamlining, rehiring, diversifying or reinventing themselves.

In this webcast, DBM and a panel of HR practitioners will discuss best practices and changes they've made to manage ongoing transition strategically and foster an environment for future change, whether large or small.

Featuring real-world insights from our panelists, we'll cover:

  • A look back at 2009 and lessons learned
  • Current conditions and the new business reality
  • Implications for managing talent and transitions in the future
  • What companies are doing differently in the face of 2010's uncertainty
  • Best practices for managing transitions in the new business reality

    New Study Reveals...Emerging HR Best Practices in Guiding Separation Strategy to Achieve Business ResultsAvailable to Executive Members

    Webcast: October 6, 2009
    A new study involving 1,200 business leaders conducted by DBM and the Human Capital Institute shows:

  • 95% of HR professionals consider the morale of remaining employees to be the most important indicator of a successful downsizing event
  • 85% of HR professionals believe their non-HR counterparts would consider meeting financial objectives to be the most important indicator

    The truth is, both are required for success. As the study confirms, virtually all organizations experience negative consequences from workforce reductions. Downsizing impacts not only the departing individuals, but also the remaining employees, operational productivity, employer brand, consumer brand, customer perception, legal risk --- all effecting the top and bottom lines of an organization, yet each pointing to a different constituent group.

    An ineffective separation strategy jeopardizes the ultimate goals of the event: financial stabilization and positioning for long-term success. Organizations that get it right achieve the financial results, and are viewed as a strong corporate citizen in their communities, an employer of choice by existing and future employees, and a top brand with which to do business.

    In this webcast, we'll review emerging best practices for HR in guiding separation strategies, including discussions of:

  • The growing set of constituencies during downsizing
  • Balancing the varying goals during downsizing
  • The expanding role of HR during downsizing
  • What is required of HR to demonstrate success
  • What other companies are doing to address critical needs and achieve results.

    You'll hear a panel of senior HR leaders discuss the study findings and real-world insights into HR's increasing opportunity to contribute to organizational success.

    Responding to Leadership Development Needs with Speed and EfficiencyAvailable to Executive Members

    Webcast: July 28, 2009
    Is your organization demanding quick results from key performers, while tightening the budget allocated to high-performer development? HR is caught in the middle. You can't afford to provide the same development methods you've been using, yet the organization can't afford to have managers or leaders fail.

    You're not alone. Many organizations are finding that limited development resources don't have to mean less effective development -- even in today's economic climate.

    DBM has worked with organizations to provide a meaningful development solution that:

  • Quickly impacts the performance of individuals
  • Enhances the leadership skills of key talent
  • Prepares teams to make an immediate impact on the organization's performance
  • Keeps individuals and teams on point for achieving organizational goals
  • Efficiently delivers results with quantifiably less investment
  • Builds HR's credibility as a strategic partner in the current climate of urgency and doing more with less

    In this webcast, we'll discuss an emerging model of executive coaching that meets both the speed and budgetary requirements for today's economic reality. You'll hear actual cases of how organizations are using it and learn how you, too, can deploy it to impact both your organization's top and bottom lines.

    The Difference a Year Makes: Reductions and Career Transitions in Economic TurbulenceAvailable to Executive Members

    Webcast: April 28, 2009

    In just 12 months, the economy has changed drastically. The implications for Human Resources professionals involved in reductions, as well as for individuals entering a career transition, are significant.

    HR is asked to manage large-scale downsizings with lean resources, and meet both employee and financial goals. Departing employees are faced with highly competitive talent pools, fewer opportunities, and sometimes a complete career change - all leading to longer transition time.

    A misstep in this economy can lead to serious consequences to brand image, customer loyalty, and talent management strategies. When you make decisions about transition services for your departing employees, you need to know:

  • How to respond to the critical impact a turbulent market has on HR and departing employees,
  • What other companies are doing differently to deal with the scope and urgency of reducing their talent,
  • What works and what doesn't, the services those in transition tell us make the most difference in today's market.

    In this webcast, respected HR leaders will discuss insights they've gleaned and changes they've made to better meet the needs of departing employees with the speed and sensitivity required in today's economic reality.

    Strategic HR Coaching: Successfully Advising Your Organization's LeadersAvailable to Executive Members

    Webcast: February 14, 2007
    From leaders to line managers? It seems everyone brings their issues to Human Resources for solutions, or better yet, let HR handle it for them.

But, solving other peoples' management problems not only hinders your own productivity, our experience shows it actually stifles the development of your managers and ultimately prevents you from being viewed more strategically.

    There is a better way. A way that establishes a new pattern of interaction, increases your reputation as a trusted advisor who is honest and insightful, elevates your conversations to the more critical underlying issues, and ensures the solution is their responsibility, not yours.

    1.Your role and opportunity as a coach and advisor

    2.The difference between consulting and coaching and when to use which approach

  • Proven strategies for delivering high-powered, targeted coaching interventions that prepare emerging leaders for succession,

    Downsizing: Business Process or Business Disruption?Available to Executive Members

    Webcast: September 30, 2008
    Seven Practices for Implementing Reductions-in-Force Without Everything Grinding to a Halt

    A recent Harvard Business Review article revealed that voluntary turnover increased by an average of 31% following even a relatively small lay-off of just 1% of the employee population. It seems as if every organization has had the experience of reducing their employee base. For some companies, a reduction-in-force is a major disruption to the business, sapping energy from the organization and requiring additional time and resources for the enterprise to regroup and regain momentum. Yet, some organizations, working in concert with strategic partners, approach downsizing utilizing a well-developed business process and are able to move forward smoothly and successfully.

    In this webcast you will learn:

  • Why it's important to view employee reductions as an ongoing business process
  • The most common, but avoidable mistakes companies make
  • Seven steps you can take to minimize disruption and maximize results
  • Where unintended consequences hide that can derail your objectives
  • Real-life lessons from a panel of experts

    As a result of attending this webcast you'll gain strategic and practical insights that enable reductions with minimum disruption and maximum result. Attendees will also be provided with a checklist to assess your organization's practices against those with proven success.
