When you attend an event as an HR leader, you often go there looking for a solution to a problem. Maybe you have a broken process, or maybe one of your practices is delivering sub-optimal results. Regardless, you're looking for answers, and you're not alone.

At the 2018 HCI Workforce Planning & People Analytics Conference, we put the audience to the test, allowing HR leaders from various industries and companies pitch in their ideas for a hackathon workshop. The result? The crowd developed more than a dozen tangible ideas that audience members could take back to work and experiment with. This webinar offers you the exclusive opportunity to learn more about those "hacks" and how to put them into practice at your own company.

We hope you'll join us for this session not only to learn about the hacking process, but to pick up some actionable ideas to improve your own HR practice as well.

• How wellbeing programs drive business results and how to measure impact
• How to drive engagement through social connections, a personalized experience, and recognition
• Best practices for the most effective wellbeing strategies

Traditional employee wellness programs are outdated and often fall short. Ineffective programs focus primarily on physical wellness, and present broad goals that don’t motivate employees. Not everyone needs to increase their step counts or water consumption, and not all employees like to meditate to de-stress.

There is a greater opportunity for organizations to truly impact employee wellbeing--by creating a workplace culture that is focused on employees’ individual wellbeing.

How do you influence this type of culture? How do you help employees adopt healthy behaviors that stick? What role do rewards and recognition have when it comes to changing habits?

Join Steven Day, Director of Wellbeing Solutions at O.C. Tanner, to learn how you can build employee wellbeing into your corporate culture. Steven will discuss why your wellbeing program may be outdated, the importance of personalization, social connections, recognition, and how to measure the impact of your wellbeing initiatives on business performance.

• Reduce Subjectivity with Science: why relying on impressions alone can leave strong leaders behind – and leave your organization at risk
• High Potentials vs. High Performers: understanding the difference, recognizing the overlap, and the secrets to effective development of both
• Playing the Long Game: why your organization needs a development plan that recognizes how the definition of effectiveness varies throughout a leader’s career
• Recognizing HiPos at Risk: knowing the common derailers for high potentials can help you avoid burnout, turnover, and rocky transitions

A recent survey of global HR executives revealed that nearly half of companies identified leadership as the hardest skill to find in employees. Yet as baby boomers retire, leaving vacancies in key leadership positions, many organizations haven’t developed a sustainable strategy for succession planning.

Effective succession planning begins with identifying and developing high potential leaders early and effectively. But how do you recognize the people who are prepared to make high-value, long-term contributions to your organization? And how do you develop leaders who don’t just thrive in the roles they have now, but are prepared to tackle the challenges in roles that could be years away?

With insights drawn from the latest research, it is possible to create and implement an effective strategy for HiPo development and succession planning. Not only that, the right data will help you develop a deeper talent pool, giving your organization more choices when critical roles open up.

It’s not uncommon to face roadblocks when tackling smart succession planning. But with research-based insights and a development plan that’s build for long-term growth, you can prepare your organization for the future, and retain your top talent in the process.

The next industrial revolution has arrived.

We have entered the 4th Industrial Revolution, in which technology has been and will continue to embed itself into society in ways that require entirely new capabilities for people and machines, ​according to the World Economic Forum.

Technology has destroyed the staying power of traditional companies, reducing their average lifespan by two thirds since 1950, and moving the majority of their assets from tangible products to intangible assets, comprised of people and intellectual property. This means that in this new digital age, skills have become the new currency, and data is the oil that fuels our transactions.

Join Brett Wilson, Cornerstone’s Director of Thought Leadership and Strategy, as he discusses the implications of the global skills crisis and how we manage talent over the next five years as it will be completely different from the last 20 years. This crisis will force a new set of expectations for a modern workforce. A subsequent issue suggests that every job is changing requiring the best companies to reinvent themselves to meet the challenge.

Webcast Highlights:

• How aligning with purpose leads to passion, and passion leads to happiness, and then happiness leads to productivity, which naturally leads to results that are beneficial to the person and organization itself.

Great sorrow and fear are unfortunately starting to shape the job industry, but purpose has the power to change this trend for the better.

What can employees do about this as individuals who feel at risk of losing their jobs, and how can company leaders ensure we progress along this curve of transformation?

Longstanding highly paid jobs are being transformed overnight, and in some cases are being phased out. Robotics, AI, automation, machine learning and other innovations fill the news and job boards every day. Tech is making the world evolve and it impacts every industry.

Employees need to connect deeply to their purpose by asking themselves, “who am I?” Often, they don’t take enough time to really determine what matters to them as individuals, and respond by scrambling reactionarily, which can take them further away from what they may love to do, thus potentially lowering engagement levels.

By simply slowing down and not moving at the pace of the evolutionary technology boom, employees can determine their next path, whether it be a complete shift in career or an augmentation to make them more relevant in this evolving economy and job market. Engagement is really simple; it’s an authentic connection to a purpose, no matter what you do!

As leaders, look to empower employees and teammates with purposeful strategies, like learning about the power of having a growth mindset. As some jobs go away and others are created, this mindset helps people see fear from a place of courage, rather than a threat. From this mindset, employees can then align their job skills with purpose to face challenges and soar to success.

Aligning with purpose leads to passion, and passion leads to happiness, and then happiness leads to productivity, which naturally leads to results that are beneficial to the person and organization itself.

But what role should human resources play in digital transformation?
