Your Reputation Is Your Brand!

Have you heard that 69% of Americans would nix a job offer—even if they were out of work—with a company with a negative reputation?

These days, with so much competition for superstar talent, a great employer brand counts big time.  But upgrading yours doesn’t need to break your HR or recruiting budget.

In fact, leaning on employees to share your company story, treating job candidates like valued customers and adding the “employer perspective” to company reviews on social channels and Glassdoor pretty much costs zilch—just time, effort and a little C-Level blessing.

Join HCI for “10 Free Steps to Improve Your Employer Brand” on August 13, 2015 with Alicia Garibaldi (LinkedIn profile) Senior Content Marketing Manager and author of Employer Branding For Dummies®, Glassdoor Special Edition.

Introducing new talent to an established organization can be difficult for many reasons.

• Seasoned employees may view the incoming new hires as “too green” or as not having the required skills to contribute in a meaningful way.
• They may worry about having to “waste time” teaching the newbies things that they should already know or get aggravated when the new employees are not familiar with “the way we do things around here.”
• Additionally, it is difficult to know if the right new hires are being put into the right positions for their interests, abilities and talents.

After all, a resume and an interview can only tell a hiring manager so much about the person they are bringing on board, and often talented employees are simply being put into a role that is not a good fit.

In this hour-long webinar, business analyst and PMP-certified project manager Dan Stober (LinkedIn profile) will walk you through a four-step plan to ensure that you hire the right people for your team, from assessing talent to providing continuous learning and establishing a mentorship program.

Teamability^®:
The Ability To Connect With Others
To Form A Productive Team

Individual strengths can lead to a personal triumph,
But a team is greater than the sum of its parts.

Rich Karlgaard, Publisher of Forbes Magazine, recently wrote an article entitled “Teams Matter. Talent is Not Enough.”

In essence, it is a challenge for executives to find and exploit the ‘magic’ of team synergy.

The metrics of teaming now exist! Even the most extraordinary individual effort is no substitute for great teamwork. Teaming metrics are key to improving selection, increasing engagement, and vastly reducing new-hire turnover, all with measurable business value.

With TGI Teamability:
PMs will be able to create extremely strong teams.

In this introduction you will learn:

• A completely new technology will help you understand why talented, experienced people do not always ‘team’ well with others.
• How to reduce the costs and risks associated with errors in hiring and promoting,
  • Metrics and methods that measure and predict ‘teaming’ behaviors.
  • How to effectively analyze and solve team performance problems.
• How to deliver significant business value by matching people to the functional mission of their team
  • The ‘who fits where’ and the ‘why’ of winning teams
  • Behaviors that impact quality of team interaction and ‘fit’ to job responsibilities
• How it possible to reliably select high quality team players, and to match their job responsibilities to the way they envision themselves serving their team (their ‘Role’).

This is a MUST TAKE opportunity to help you understand the strengths of your team members placing them in the roles that will make your projects even more successful!
