The year 2020 has been one that most of us are undoubtedly looking forward to seeing in the rearview mirror. Yet, as HR practitioners, there are important lessons we can draw upon as we look ahead to 2021.

As we close out a year that has given new meaning to the term ‘disruption,’ we can and should consider the old ways of working that will no longer suit us and adopt new approaches that will yield far better outcomes for our employees and organizations alike.

While we can’t control or necessarily anticipate the external events happening in the world around us, we can prepare our workforces to be agile and ready to grow and flex.

Now is the time to lean in. For employees to prosper in the new world of work, we have to actively foster continuous internal talent mobility.

This requires rethinking everything – from career development, learning and skill-building to the very concept of job descriptions and why sharing talent freely is in everyone’s interest – as well as taking a new view of the employee journey.

In this session Jeanne Schad  (LinkedIn profile) Talent Solutions & Strategy Practice Lead RiseSmart explores six ways of working better left behind and their future-focused replacements that you can put into play the next year.

These 6 Strategies Are:

• Pursuing creative alternatives to layoffs to retain employees
• Helping managers freely share their talented direct reports and why it can help your organization flourish
•  Tossing out rigid job descriptions to help you uncover workforce capabilities you didn’t know you had
• Taking a flexible approach to how, when and where learning occurs to untether career development and internal mobility
• Trading tech-only skilling solutions with a guided approach to close the skills gap
•  Simplifying your life by replacing multiple tech platforms with integrated technology

Employee engagement has been a hot HR buzzword for quite some time, but what truly drives engagement?

The answer depends on many factors, which can include your industry, location, and employee demographic. But one common denominator to employee engagement is recognition and appreciation for your workforce. Therefore, recognition should be considered a primary component of your culture.

Appreciating your employees should not be viewed as task to check off a list. Rather, HR and business leaders should be finding ways to weave appreciation and recognition into their business.

When you examine your employees’ lifecycle, are they regularly receiving recognition for their work?

If that’s not the case – it should be!

Join Angie Wideman-Powell, (LinkedIn profile) Director of HR at ClearCompany, to learn how you can incorporate recognition as a part of your company’s business strategy.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• How to weave appreciation into your employee lifecycle
•  Why recognition and appreciation strategies can be done with even the smallest budgets
• How to use recognition appropriately and consistently across your organization
• How to move your company on the path to creating a recognition and rewards program

In today’s landscape, employee feedback identifies an intersection between engagement and development.  Employees desire to take on challenging assignments and engage in meaningful work that fuels their development.

Organizations that successfully embed development into core businesses see higher levels of engagement and performance.

In this session, you will learn:

•  Creating an intentional approach to development allows for early and ongoing engagement
• How to rethink the learning eco-system with increased focus around employee experience, content, digital enablement, and insights/analytics
• Understand moments that matter to provide access and availability of learning to meet the diverse needs of employees
• Key inputs for a learning culture where employees own their learning journey

A 2020 Gartner survey of finance executives reported that nearly 75% planned to make some of their workforce remote until 2021.

Now, with the alarming rise in COVID cases being reported each day, the virtualization of America’s workforce may be extended well into 2021 and beyond, or become a permanent workforce strategy for many companies.

The problem is, it’s just not that easy for organizations to accurately and effectively payroll and provide benefits for their employees in a virtual world, across multi-state and international borders.

Adding to the challenge, momentous and highly-complex employment legislation has been written and signed into law at lightning-speed this year—many with negative and costly consequences for employers if ignored. And, with the obstacle course of new legislation like California’s Prop 22, COVID-related employment laws and state and industry-specific employment laws, correctly maneuvering through it all presents huge and unfamiliar hurdles to employers across all states.

Join Karen Sawyer (LinkedIn profile) Senior Vice President, Busines Solutions TalentWave, & Catherine Chidyausiku (LinkedIn profile) Senior Vice President, Legal & Compliance TalentWave,  as they cover the very topics keeping human resource leaders across the country up at night!

In this webinar you will learn:

• What to consider when approached with requests from employees to work remotely from a state (or country) where your company is not set up to do business
• How the scope and objectives of new employment legislation will change the way employers must engage with their remote employees
• Why payrolling a virtual workforce is now more complicated than ever and what employers must know
