New research confirms that a specific set of leadership behaviors directly and powerfully impacts employee engagement. Attend this webcast to learn about the five practices that every leader should exhibit if they want to unleash the full potential of their people. Evans Kerrigan will share valuable case study insights and research data that you can put to use while planing and executing your own leadership development efforts.

Webcast Highlights:

• Understand the costs and impact of regrettable turnover
• Evaluate what retention strategies and tactics work for your organization and its different talent segments
• Identify metrics and indicators that point to flight risks
• Develop plans to engage with your organization’s alumni

According to HCI’s annual member survey, retention of top talent is the number one priority for HR professionals and business leaders. As the labor market tightens to become more employee-driven, organizations are wise to reevaluate how they are keeping their best people. In this webcast, we discuss insights from our latest Talent Pulse research survey and highlight case studies of successful retention practices.

Webcast Highlights:

• Get the right job searchers – those who will STAY with your company - to recognize your brand
• Align Learning & Development programs with all teams in your company to improve development and retention
• Focus on referrals and prove the value of a strong referral program

Creating a predictive hiring model built to push you team’s goals forward, while retaining high-performers to prevent backfill is no small feat.

Unemployment is lower than ever, and so companies need to hire the right people who will stay with and enhance your company.

The automated world has begun invading workforces near and far, but leaders and employees alike might not be ready for artificial assistance.

When we hear about artificial intelligence technologies, we inevitably start fear-based conversations about automation and its ability to replace the jobs of humans. Truth be told, AI can do the opposite: enable us to be even more human in the workplace rather than less.

Basic elements of AI work well when understood, and AI is useful for solving challenges HR faces, especially in learning strategy. AI, when accompanied by critical skills of humans, is the way to succeed in an increasingly automated world of work.

A variety of experiments provide research that shows the best approach to talent management is a blend of machines and humans. Leveraging more than a year’s worth of research into how companies are adopting automation technology to reduce administrative burden and improve productivity, this story will include the adoption of bots, aching learning-powered algorithms and other tools that support business needs.

Insights From the 2018 Employee Engagement Conference 
Bring the Conference to Your Colleagues

Join Bill Craib, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Learning, Human Capital Institute, as he breaks down the most compelling trends and best practices from this year’s conference.

Webcast Highlights:

• Consider what’s working—and what isn’t—with your own organization’s approach to change management
• Explore the impact coaching can have on change management initiatives
• Discover how you can integrate coaching into your organization’s change management toolbox to enhance communication, leadership buy-in and employees’ resilience

Seventy-seven percent of HR practitioners and leaders report that their organization is in a state of constant change with priorities and strategies continuously shifting, and 85 percent report unsuccessful major change management initiatives within the past two years.

What can organizations do to increase the likelihood of successfully implementing a change management initiative? How can we ensure that employees are engaged and empowered to not just survive or manage change, but to become change leaders inside their organizations? What role can a strong coaching culture play in building an organization’s change management capabilities?

This interactive workshop will provide an opportunity to explore the latest research on coaching and change management, learn from organizations that have successfully leveraged coaching for change management, and engage in generative discussions with your peers.

Webcast Highlights:

• How the employee engagement landscape has changed
• 3 key elements of a successful engagement strategy
• What motivates and engages today's workforce and proven frameworks that move the needle
• Practical case studies of companies who are doing things differently and outperforming their competition

Despite investments in employee engagement initiatives increasing by 100 percent over the last five years, engagement scores continue to lag - badly. 70% of American workers are disengaged, and engagement scores are only increasing 1% a year.

Join us on August 16th, where we will explore the disconnect between what companies are doing for employee engagement and what actually engages today’s workforce.

Webcast Highlights:

• Current challenges and practical solutions regarding gender diversity
• Concrete ideas to move your organization towards gender parity
• Specific steps that you can take to create an environment where the best minds, ideas and leadership can thrive

The most important determinant of a company’s competitiveness is its human talent—its workforce. Women account for more than half of the university graduates and are a growing portion of the talent pool.  To maximize competitiveness and development potential, companies need to strive for gender equality— that is, to give women the same rights, responsibilities and opportunities as men. Yet, there are still discrepancies between job opportunities and wages earned by women compared to those of their male counterparts in similar positions with similar skills.

Numerous studies confirm that reducing gender inequality enhances productivity and economic growth and that the economic benefits of scaling back barriers to women’s engagement in the workforce are substantial. Innovation requires new, unique ideas—and the best ideas flourish in a diverse environment. Companies outperform financially when they successfully integrate women across their leadership structures and their Boards yet less than 20% of the Fortune 500 have women on their Board of Directors. 

Yes, this is 2018 and we are still having this discussion.  We still have under representation of women in leadership roles, and pay gaps.  Double standards are alive and well.

In this session, Marilyn Nagel Chief Learning Officer of SAMI, Founder of Ready-Aim-Aspire and Huffington Post contributor and Tom Tonkin, Ph.D., Principal Consultant, Thought-Leadership and Advisory Services for Cornerstone on Demand, engage on a twist of the fireside chat discussing the current challenges and practical solutions regarding gender diversity.  From that point, engage in a discussion that offers concrete ideas to move your organization towards gender parity.  Both Ms. Nagel and Dr.Tonkin address some specific steps that you can take to create an environment where the best minds, ideas and leadership can thrive.

Webcast Highlights:

• The key drivers of culture
• The differences between HR technology and culture technology
• A collaborative approach to building an intentional culture
• How to improve your culture at speed – and at scale

Clued-in organizational leaders know business strategy alone isn’t enough to succeed in today’s world. They know that if their workplace culture isn’t strong — and if their people aren’t aligned and engaged — even the most brilliant plan is dead on arrival.

Culture change is hard. And chances are, you’ve experienced leadership trying to turn a company around, only to face resistance as the organization digs in its heels. But today, there’s a new confluence of disciplines which, supported by technology, has the potential to substantially improve the four key relationships that make up our work experience.

Webcast Highlights:

• How top organizations (Unilever, Shopify, KPMG) are using benefits to create a best-in-class employee experience
• How to integrate your employee benefits with your employee experience
• About the new mobile benefits platforms being used to increase engagement
• How to significantly increase the impact your benefits can have on talent retention and attraction

One of the most commonly underutilized assets that organizations have for building a best-in-class employee experience is their employee benefits package. But that’s quickly changing.

Today, many top CHROs have begun the process of turning their employee benefits into a competitive advantage and a key differentiator. In these organizations, modernized employee benefits are becoming the cornerstone of a winning employee experience that attracts and retains top talent.
