For years, the hallmark of successful consumer services companies has been legendary service focused on the touch points of a seamless consumer experience - easy, engaging and personalized.

Yet even in 2018, most talent acquisition processes have been built on infrastructure tools designed with HR and compliance in mind, not a consumer-centric candidate experience. Delivering a seamless candidate experience that is intuitive, mobile-friendly and authentic to your brand is the new industry standard.

To win the connected talent of today and the future, recruiting teams must take the experience a step further, using real-time data and machine learning to transform every single touchpoint into a nurturing opportunity.

• Why High-Performing Organization Use OKRs
• How to Launch OKRs Easily and Successfully
• How OKRs Make Your Managers Effective

OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) are the modern, best-practice methodology for setting Objectives for employees, teams, and business units. OKRs improve alignment and engagement in the company, driving better performance and better results.

Through the OKR process executives, team leaders, and HR professionals are improving the company’s culture, making it more results driven and results oriented. Everyone in the company now has a clear vision of their role and how they contribute to the corporation’s primary objectives.

In his recent New York Times best-seller, “Measure What Matters”, John Doerr, venture capitalist, details the OKR methodology, its history, principles, and how he introduced OKRs to Google’s Larry Page and Sergey Brin back in 1999. Google continues to employ OKRs to this day, and Doerr continues to introduce OKRs to every company he invests in.

With this renewed focus and popularity of the methodology, high performing companies globally are embracing OKRs as the absolute “Must Do” to optimize the value of their most precious resource, their people.

Webcast Highlights:

• Change is constant - why is it important that people are on board?
• The importance of self-awareness during change
• How can you equip your people to handle change?

The ever-changing political and financial environment means change is happening more frequently to the point where it’s just becoming the norm. Given the constantly shifting landscape, it is starting to become much less of a phenomenon and more of a quietly constant undercurrent to all our working lives.

These changes can be anything from company mergers and acquisitions to a change of leader, or changes to the work environment or team. Changes like these can have a big effect on how people in the organization are feeling, and how engaged and therefore productive they are. More often than not, there is little focus put on how everyone processes change differently, which is an oversight! Whether people in an organization are on board with a change can make the difference between success and failure.

Webcast Highlights:

• Enhance knowledge of different change style preferences
• Develop an appreciation for change-style diversity
• Understand how to harness emotional intelligence to lead others through change
• Learn about tools to work more collaboratively through change
• Strategies to prevent conflict when undergoing change

We all manage change in our lives differently: some find it difficult and want to approach matters slowly and methodically, while others love change and embrace it moving full speed ahead. If you work with a group of people all facing the same change, it’s likely that nobody will manage the situation in the same way, which can lead to conflict. By understanding change style preferences and harnessing emotional intelligence we can manage and lead others more effectively through change.
