This session will describe how companies can establish internal social networks where employees can form communities and access news and information they need to perform more successfully. It is designed for any Communications or HR professional to provide a template for companies to engage and inform employees while allowing them to interact with each other. Participants will learn:
• The steps to take in developing a social network for employees
• How Pfizer, Inc. employees tallied 60 million page views in the first year
• The kinds of news and information that employees want
• Guidelines for use
If your company doesn't have a social network, now is the time to get started. If you already have an internal social network, you will learn in this presentation how much more powerful it can be.

Companies constantly search for better ways to recruit workers who will perform. A quality hire is someone who (we are confident) will be a strong performer. But what predicts that performance? Experience? Industry knowledge? Skills? Past performance? Who knows and how can employers be confident that they know? In fact, the predictors of performance are known, for every job you can imagine. In this webcast, we will identify those performance predictors and show where they come from and why they are reliable and to be trusted. We will demonstrate how new technologies enable these same performance predictors to be accessed at scale, and affordably, by everyone today – and how everyone can find the providers to do this. We will show examples of the dramatic ROI achieved by companies that use the predictors of performance.

Unlike the days of old when working was simply a matter of getting your daily tasks done by yourself (or perhaps with the help of a friendly colleague or two), the new social workplace requires a level of interaction where daily conversations and activities are highly collaborative in nature and peer-to-peer oriented, and where knowledge is shared extensively without traditional time or geographic constraints. It is this new level of interaction, fostered by social tools, that have led many businesses to adopt new innovative approaches to business execution and strategies that impact the bottom line. And it is exactly this model of the social workplace, where tools and individuals mingle to create an integrated collaborative experience, that provides the immediate input and feedback that businesses need to compete locally and globally.
Unfortunately, with this new model of the social workplace, conversations happen in 140 characters, documents are collaboratively created, and content is archived and calculated—but very little experience and knowledge is actually shared. As a result, many executives have to deal with a series of looming questions:
• How can you continue to move fast, yet take the time to invest in growing your business?
• How can there be employee development when no one can stop long enough to teach or learn?
• And how can you identify the internal skills, intelligence, wisdom and expertise that your employees have and distribute it in a way that flows right into your business stream?
Join Knoodle for a thought-provoking discussion on the value of social learning. Social learning – the learning with and from others – is reshaping the way employees gain and apply knowledge while on the job. A truly social workplace fosters learning opportunities that are organic, ubiquitous and collaborative providing the knowledge your employees need, at the moment they need it optimizing productivity.

We discuss the definition cloud computing for the non-technical person as well as the advanced technical executive. With this, we discuss the weaknesses that need attention, the impacts of known vulnerabilities, and what your HRIS department needs to know about Cloud computing. You will gain enough knowledge to feel comfortable with what works -- and what will need attention. There are many advantages with cloud computing – and as evident from Gartner’s latest reports on cloud computing, many issues yet to be resolved as well.

Business partners need skills to solve problems so they stay solved. But skills alone are not enough –practitioners need a robust suite of tools to help manage the vast amount of business, performance and talent data and turn that data into actionable information. Without enabling technology, you are faced with the prospect of saying “NO!” to business partners because your technology cannot support the innovative solution you can visualize but cannot implement without administrative challenges and hours of busy work. There is an alternative. Even “power users” are unfamiliar with the power of Excel solutions with VBA - Visual Basic for Applications. You can deliver innovative solutions without additional software. Specific examples will be provided.

It is easy to get excited when a business solution promises to improve HR operations and relieve difficulties.

Committing to preparation builds credibility and strengthens strategic executive sponsorship.

Many small and mid-sized companies have successful talent management processes in place today. So, what is the next step as your company grows? Optimizing your company’s talent through integrated talent management is the key. Some companies think integrated talent management is too far out on the horizon for them but it really is attainable today – no matter what size your company is. In fact, having integrated talent management is even more important for smaller organizations because HR practitioners wear so many hats and staffs can be leaner. Furthermore, small and mid-sized companies face many of the same challenges that large companies face when it comes to finding, growing, and keeping top talent.
