Despite economic conditions, unemployment levels, or any other business factor imaginable, your best employees – the ones you need most – want one thing from you, plain and simple: to support their growth and development. 

Study after study confirms that development is the single most powerful tool managers have for driving engagement, retention, productivity, and results.

Yet, HR leaders know that career development is frequently the thing that gets sidelined unless or until the organization demands that some form be submitted during regular review cycles.

In order to reach new levels of performance there must be a link between what the individual employee is passionate about and what the organization needs to grow its business.

One way to insure that linkage is for every manager to be held accountable for having solid development discussions with their employees.

Based on the books Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go: Career Conversations Employees Want and Love ‘Em or Lose ‘Em: Getting Good People to Stay by Dr. Beverly Kaye (LinkedIn profile, YouTube) and Julie Winkle Giulioni (designarounds about us,  @Julie_WG), this webinar will help you to understand your employees mindset and encourage engagement in the workplace.

Research suggests, over and over, that if an individual is:

1. Challenged in their position,
2. Finds their work to be meaningful, and …
3. Believes that their manager truly cares about their growth,

Their engagement will be high, increasing employee retention!

Organizations have the perfect vehicle for insuring this conversation, The Individual Development Plan (IDP).

Too many managers, however, avoid this conversation because they are not comfortable with its content. In this session Bev and Julie will share the research from her new book to demystify the IDP conversation.

Speakers:

Dr. Beverly Kaye (LinkedIn profile) is an international besting author and a recognized authority on career issues and on retention and engagement in the workplace. Her first book, Up Is Not The Only Way: A Guide to Developing Workforce Talent, foresaw the effects that leaner, flatter organizations would have on individual careers and the subsequent need for workers to take charge of their own careers. She also developed learning solutions and systems for managers and employees to work together to help employees achieve their developmental goals. With the fourth edition of a bestseller she coauthored, Love ’em or Lose ’em: Getting Good People to Stay (4th edition), Bev addressed one of the most pressing workplace problems of the 21st century: retaining and engaging employees. In her follow-up companion best seller, Love It, Don’t Leave It: 26 Ways to Get What You Want at Work, she shows employees how they can find greater satisfaction in their current work lives.

Julie Winkle Giulioni (LinkedIn profile) has spent the past 25 years improving performance through learning. Julie is well known and well regarded for her creative, one-of-a-kind solutions that consistently deliver bottom-line results. Julie co-authored the book that this presentation is based on with Dr. Beverly Kaye Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go: Career Conversations Employees Want. As co-founder and principal of DesignArounds, Julie leads multidisciplinary teams that create award-winning electronic and instructor- led training. She is an author and respected speaker on a variety of topics, including performance improvement, leadership, sales, and customer service.

There’s a lot of hype around DevOps, but do you really understand what it means for your organization or what it entails?

Increasing the speed of value delivery isn’t as simple as saying you are “doing” agile or DevOps. DevOps applies agile principles of discipline, collaboration, and early feedback to tasks. “Being” DevOps requires everyone involved in product development lifecycle to change how they currently work and to expand their knowledge and capabilities into new areas.

In this webinar, Peter Hyde (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst helps you understand and apply the keys for DevOps success at your organization.

Discussion Topics:

• What DevOps is and what it is not
• The keys critical to DevOps success
• How to build your DevOps practice into your software development lifecycle (SDLC)
