In an uncertain world, coaching and mentoring are two forms of learning and development that can adjust quickly to changing needs. In the coming year, HR professionals will lean even harder than usual on these development practices thanks to their dynamism. Therefore, it’s critical to understand the current trends, strengths, weaknesses and best practices in these two areas.

In this presentation, we will be discussing the findings of HR.com’s Coaching and Mentoring 2020 report and exploring research data that covers:

• The uptick in virtual/remote coaching and mentoring
• The effectiveness of today’s coaches and mentors
• How coaching and mentoring are used in today’s organizations
• The culture-related factors associated with coaching/mentoring
• The challenges that currently hinder coaching/mentoring
• The degree to which organizations provide formal training in these areas
• The methods most commonly used by organizations that excel in these areas
• The future of coaching/mentoring

Dr. Heidi Scott Chief Learning Officer HR.com will discuss why coaching and mentoring are important in our current era of economic uncertainty.

Then Heidi will discuss the degree to which coaching and mentoring are used by today’s organizations and the perceived effectiveness of those programs.

• Is there a gap between the perceived importance of coaching/mentoring and the actual skill sets of today’s managers?
• If so, how can organizations address those gaps?

You will also learn about the factors that hinder the workplace coaching/mentoring movement & they will discuss a range of other factors, including:

• The need to have more frequent, quality conversations with employees,
• The influx of younger workers, and
• The need to revamp outdated and ineffective performance management systems.

Heidi will also examine a range of details about coaching itself. For example,:

• Who does the coaching and mentoring in organizations?
• Which coaching/mentoring skills do leaders tend to have,
  • which ones do they lack, and
  • which ones will they need in our fast-emerging future?

Perhaps most importantly, we will describe how organizations that excel at coaching and mentoring differ from those that do not.

Join Heidi as she discusses the results from the survey and how they may apply to your organization.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

1. Current trends in coaching and mentoring
2. The impact of coaching on culture and performance
3. Strengths and weaknesses of today’s coaches and mentors

It’s been two years since California’s Dynamex ruling and five months since AB5 passed.  Since then, states across America have been looking for ways to fill tax gaps and deficits through fines collected through worker misclassification penalties and lawsuits.

Now, it’s spring of 2020 and our society is blind-sided by a health pandemic and economic crisis like no other.  It was already complicated enough for businesses and independent contractors (ICs) to navigate worker classification regulations.

COVID-19 and sky-high unemployment are creating difficult challenges for all parties – especially independent workers.

As the CARES Act put temporary employment protections in place for these workers, this wake-up call may force lawmakers and businesses to consider establishing a new, third class of worker that sits in-between a W-2 and a 1099 IC to protect businesses and ICs (Independent Contractors) alike.

Learn more about:

• The sweeping employment and life sustainability concerns caused by Assembly Bill 5
• The need for businesses to help get people back to work without fear of litigation
• How workers may perceive and what the new workplace ‘normal’ may be And …
• Whether past and current trends may be the catalyst to a new ‘Quasi-IC’ classification

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

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

1. What new supports have been developed, or are in development, since the beginning of April to assist employers to manage the COVID-19 crisis?
2. What options are available to employers to reduce their labour costs?
3. What should an employer be doing to plan for the future in the short-term, mid-term and long-term in the face of the COVID-19 crisis?

The impact of COVID-19 on workplaces in Canada cannot be understated, and the situation continues to evolve at a rapid pace.

The government has enacted and continues to develop a variety of supports for employers and for employees, from more accessible and interest free loans to wage subsidies designed to encourage employers to keep their staff on payroll.

However, even with these support initiatives, employers are facing unprecedented challenges in managing their labour costs, keeping employees and customers safe, and planning for an uncertain future.

In this session, Stuart Rudner (LinkedIn profile) Rudner Law & Brittany Taylor (LinkedIn profile) Associate Rudner Law will review in detail some of the key support initiatives that are currently available or in development, with a particular focus on changes implemented since the beginning of April, and how employers can take advantage of them.

Stuart & Brittany will also discuss what options are available for employers who may need to reduce their labour costs, including assessing the risks and benefits of temporary layoffs, reduction in hours or compensation, dismissal and frustration of contract.

They will also provide some advice and recommendations with respect to planning for the (short-term, mid-term, and long-term) future & they will reserve some time at the end of the session to answer some questions from  attendees.
