Join this webinar to learn how one HR organization is responding to this historic opportunity – and gain takeaways that you can apply to your business.

So, you want to be a change agent?

The path to become a change agent might seem overwhelming, but can be travelled along successfully by exploring the knowledge, ability, willingness and norms needed to make shift happen.

How can leaders successfully implement each pathway – knowledge, ability, willingness and norms – within their organizations, departments and teams? 

First, they must learn the Change Agent Pathway Framework, which includes tips to identify the strategy that will drive the most impact with the most efficient use of often scarce funds. Then, leaders should become familiar with the emotional elements that accompany organizational transitions. Their people will need support during times of uncertainty. Finally, key application factors must be discovered, which will result in change readiness instead of change failure.

Successful tech companies are faced with a number of challenges.  Among the biggest is how to manage explosive growth.  This was the challenge for TrueCar.  As you’re probably aware TrueCar is a digital automotive marketplace that provides comprehensive pricing transparency about what other people paid for their cars and enables consumers to engage with TrueCar Certified Dealers who are committed to providing a superior purchase experience.  In 2015 initiatives were begun to more tightly manage programs and processes, quite a challenge when the firm was growing dramatically.

One of those programs involved the firm’s talent acquisition and global mobility management program.  Join our webinar to hear how TrueCar faced the challenge.

• Insights into our recent research showing the gap between whether employees feel recognized and connected to their companies versus how companies believe they are connecting

There’s a new world of employee recognition. The traditional top down approach of managers-only recognizing success should be a thing of your past. Modern recognition programs have tiers and encourage recognition up, down and across all parts of your workforce.

Webcast Highlights:

• Best onboarding practices
• Time to Productivity measurement tips
• Real world tactics to help you fully understand the ROI of great onboarding, and reduce new hire costs in your organization

It’s quite costly to ramp up new employees, with onboarding estimates ranging from $400 at the low end, to $350,000 to replace a junior engineer.

For example, bad hires have costed Zappos “well over $100 million,” according to CEO Tony Hsieh, as reported by W Blog writer Angela Stringfellow.

Companies routinely invest recruiting effort, manager time, hardware and software, salary and bonuses, and a host of internal processes and programs to efficiently bring a new hire up to speed, yet rarely measure how long it takes to ramp up performance and productivity.

Time to Productivity, also called Time to Competence or Time to Proficiency, can be tricky to measure, and often require the use of qualitative data over time to understand the perceived Time to Productivity.

If you find the metric to be a challenge, or an opportunity for your organization, register for this webcast sponsored by CGS Enterprise Learning to hear from expert speakers, including SVP of Learning Programs, Doug Stephen. We’ll cover best onboarding practices, Time to Productivity measurement tips, and real world tactics to help you fully understand the ROI of great onboarding, and reduce new hire costs in your organization.

In HR, you wear a lot of hats. At the end of the day, when you’re done ensuring company compliance, reviewing benefit options, and doing about 1,000 other tasks, do you find you’ve spent your day doing what you joined HR for? Did you join HR because you believe in helping people do more of their best work? Most likely, you believe helping your people learn and grow benefits your organization because you recognize that work — and results — are accomplished through people.

It’s easy to be pulled away from the core of what brought you to HR. Now it’s HR’s moment to return to people. To activate talent. This starts by recognizing that when it comes to talent, it’s team leaders who make the difference. So let’s ensure that talent activation tools are designed for the team leaders who can get results with them – for how they work and when they work – to get more work done through others.

This discussion will reveal why it’s now the moment for HR to return to what they love and lead with people, and discuss the four seismic shifts that have gotten us to where we are today.

Continuous Performance Management is the new modern process for merely appraising performance but much more for talent development and increasing performance. The eye-opening and shocking research data shows that the legacy annual review is not only ineffective but is actually very effective at harming your performance and is doing your company a real disservice. There is a lot of new data emphasizing this harmful process, and data doesn't lie.

Modernizing your performance process will allow every employee and their managers to focus on talent development in real-time and enable all of your managers to be more effective at their jobs. 

How do you modernize your Performance Management process? What is the right set of steps? Learn now how to make this shift at your organization and how to create a high-performance culture your CEO, executives and all employees will love.

You will learn:

• How continuous performance management really works
• How to transition away from the legacy annual review
• Why CPM is much better than the annual review
• And much, much more!

How do we manage our emotions and behaviors when we experience the obstacles and challenges thrust upon us by society and business?

Join us for this dynamic conversation between the CEO of a leading resiliency training company and the forward-thinking L&D executive who’s deployed resiliency training to great effect. They’ll discuss the power of teaching this foundational skill at the individual level, and how that leads to lasting change at the organizational level.
