The quick pivot to remote working left many organizations unprepared. Faced with the task of managing a newly scattered workforce, companies may have back-pedalled on valuable new talent management strategies in favor of simple triage.

But for employees, the shift threw routines into chaos, blurred the lines between work and life, and brought not only frustration, but a sense of detachment. What’s missing for many are recognition and rewards.

Providing frequent moments of recognition by leaders, managers, team leaders and peers is a powerful way to rebuild the workplace connections lost in the shuffle. The right rewards can bring cheer and solve the practical problems of life today as well.

Join Meghan M. Biro (LinkedIn profile) for this fast-paced discussion on the best ways to craft a recognition and rewards program that unites and engages a remote workforce.

Meghan will uncover the new dynamic of remote working, and make clear how a recognition and rewards program meets the primary need for more contact, more communication, more connection, and more alignment — all at once.

1. How to craft a rewards and recognition program that responds to the needs of the remote workforce.
2. How to best leverage the “glued to our phones” nature of working remotely now.
3. Why remote employees need increased frequency when it comes to recognition.
4. The power of newsfeeds and social sharing in driving a cycle of recognition.
5. How to turn moments of rewards and recognition into a fluid cycle that involves everyone.
6. How to measure the effectiveness of remote rewards and recognition, and leverage data to improve.
7. How to make sure your recognition program addresses the four key factors of effectiveness.

Job interviews for both the employer and the hiring candidate can be a stressful and time-consuming activity.

A recent  CareerBuilder Durvey reported that three out of four employers stated that they had hired the wrong person for a position.

This wrong hire comes with a cost. On average, companies spend $14,900.00 annually for every mismatched hire.

In this webinar Lynette Reed will discuss the essential two areas of proficiency to consider when looking at career changes and hiring protocol. The first part of the discussion talks about technical skills assessment.

This discussion includes current research and possible ways to enhance the hiring process. The second area, which will be the emphasis of the webinar, is on soft skills. Soft skills are especially relevant to our changing times.

These are the behavioral aspects of the job. Soft skills include communication, critical thinking skills, and personality fit. If time permits, participants will be encouraged to share in the discussion.

As organizations continue to contend with virtual work environments, learning departments are struggling with implementing and engaging learners through virtual delivery methods.

No matter the modality, there must be a process of engagement in place that ensures successful transfer of learning to the workplace.

Using a modified change model, American Management Association (AMA) will outline the critical steps to communicating roles, responsibilities, and processes necessary for a successful transfer of skill development and engagement as it aligns to recognizing competence within your organization.

To increase the probability for a successful implementation you must:

1. Define:

• How do we know what we are doing?
• Why are we doing it?
• Is there vision, clarity, and outcomes?

2. Align:

• Are leaders bought in, why or why not?
• What actions are they taking to demonstrate commitment?
• Is it linked to the learner; do they see value in the intended outcomes?

3. Execute:

• What are the skills, knowledge, and behaviors we are focusing on?
• How will this happen and when?
• Are processes and systems in place to support them?
• Are there barriers we need to remove?

Organizations can ensure a transformative evolution in behaviors that translates into growth and efficiency when following the discussed outline.

In this webcast Jeff will provide insight and share best practices on how to ensure the probability for success in a virtual learning environment and cover:

1. Three core stages of successful implementation
   • Define, Align, Execute
2. The impact of a poor implementation
3. The importance of evidence to support success

Presenter: Jeff Becker (LinkedIn profile) Director, Corporate Learning Solutions American Management Association has 20+ years’ experience in sales generation, leadership development, coaching and corporate education. Prior to joining AMA, Jeff worked in human resources, operations and sales where he consulted and developed executive to mid-level management and frontline associates on change management, strategy implementation, and performance management.

The global pandemic crisis of the last few months has had a profound effect on the way we work. HR functions have been at the center of the action.

The companies that bounced back highest and fastest from the 2008 financial crisis were the companies that maintained their focus on listening to, and engaging with their people throughout.

The same will be true in the current crisis. It has never been more important to have an employee listening strategy, and to be able to close the loop to action in real time.

Employee listening experts Donna Hamilton (LinkedIn profile) with Peachy Mondays & James Anderson (LinkedIn profile) Co-Founder Peachy Mondays will share key insights into the critical needs of employees through each phase of the pandemic.

• Responding – dealing with the crisis response
• Adapting – putting new ways of working in place
• Evolving – thinking about the future workforce and ways of working

Research tells us that employees’ needs are complex. They vary according to the stage of the pandemic – and of course our journey through change is not linear.

Further outbreaks and crises may send us backwards. Equally the employee experience may vary depending on whether they are key workers, working in the front line, working from home or shielding.

An employee listening strategy can be used to inform action and test the effectiveness of your interventions.

Learn how  using employee listening to inform a response to the crisis and shape the future of work.  Discover the key points to consider when developing your own employee listening strategy.

Peachy Mondays and their clients will also be on hand to answer any questions that you may have about employee listening.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

1. Learn about the critical needs of employees through each phase of the pandemic
2. Learn how organisations are using employee listening to inform their response to the crisis and shape the future of work
3. Discover the key points to consider when developing your own employee listening strategy.

Project managers need to balance people, teams, process, product, and a host of other things.

The people/team part of the equation (especially the team part) often falls through the cracks – it’s harder to quantify, and the guideposts are few and far between.

Getting a team working well together can be like herding cats – just when you think you’ve got them all going the same direction, another one wanders off.

Social intelligence (a kind of sideways look at emotional intelligence) can help us herd those cats effectively, keeping the project as well as the team together.  It gives us some clues to understanding and managing the connections between people, most particularly those we work with on a regular basis.

Learning Objective:

1. Understand social intelligence concepts as a basis for team building and maintenance
2. Apply social intelligence tools to build strong teams and relationships
