Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU free
Provider:  The Corporate Education Group ( REP 1011 )

Are you managing a team of individuals
from different countries, or different cultural backgrounds?

While research shows that diversity on a team is highly beneficial to creativity, effectiveness, and bringing out the best in each team member, if you aren’t comfortable working with and managing the various approaches, it can feel like you’re working in a foreign land yourself.

Cultural nuances around directness, formality, assertiveness, body language, and the like can lead to false assumptions about motivation and engagement, often resulting in decisions that further alienate.  Performance can suffer, both individually and as a team.

In this interactive session you’ll:

  • Gain insight into different cultural norms and values in business.
  • Develop confidence working with and leading folks from different cultures.
  • Understand how to assess, appreciate, and leverage cultural differences.
  • Support your team members and their interactions with less struggle.

Do You Use Independent Contractors?

Access to independent contractors is a major benefit of the growing gig economy for your organization.

However, as the landmark ruling from California’s Supreme Court on Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court demonstrates, the landscape for engaging gig workers JUST GOT RISKIER!

Under the newly established ABC Test, companies will have to take a fresh look at their worker classifications to ensure they’re as compliant as possible with existing and new law.

This webcast will focus on the new environment of talent management in light of this decision as well as refresh your understanding of the importance of proper worker classification.

Learn:

  • The broader implications of the Dynamex decision in California and beyond for your organization
  • About the Three-Pronged ABC Test, and why Prong B is causing so much angst
  • Specific steps you can take to assess your own organization’s use of independent contractors and gig workers
  • How to create policy to clearly determine whether to leverage a contractor or an employee
  • How compliance helps to enable innovation, experimentation and risk avoidance in talent acquisition and management strategies

Join Roberto Cruz, (LinkedIn profile) VP Compliance, Senior Legal Counsel, TalentWave  & Neal Bhamre, (LinkedIn profile) Senior Vice President, Industry Solutions, TalentWave as they walk you through the implications for you and your organization based on this business changing court ruling.

Most of us now work in teams, in offices without walls, for managers who prize people skills above all.

Lone geniuses are out. As project managers we all dream of tight, cohesive teams, with no drama.

But what is the downside of that?

Groupthink occurs when a group values harmony and coherence over accurate analysis and critical evaluation.

In this webinar Michael Perdunn (LinkedIn profile) will explore the concept of Groupthink and its effect on team, the warning signs that Groupthink is taking hold in your team, and what a project manager can do to prevent Groupthink.
