Effective onboarding is not just about making someone successful in his/her first 90 days. The same information gathered and used in the selection process can be a springboard for the employee’s ongoing development and growth. An Aberdeen research report details how 90% of new hires make their decision to stay at a company within their first 6 months of employment. Leading companies are not only able to assess a candidate’s ability and organizational fit at the interview stage, but they also determine the executive’s future development and where he or she will be most effective in the future

This session will provide best practices for onboarding and succession planning, linking the two processes for a more effective talent management strategy.

Performance management is often viewed with contempt or seen as having little relevance to what actually is relevant to a specific company.

A lot has been written about the promise of workforce analytics. However, current analytics practices are still basic and spreadsheet based. HR needs to elevate the quality and scope of their workforce analytics to meet and exceed the demands of the business.

You will learn how to overcome the key challenges relating to workforce analytics and ensure that you drive business results from your workforce analytics program.

Traditional approaches to improving workplace safety focus primarily on training efforts, policies and procedures, and the working environment. These are all important to safety performance, but are based on the assumption that everyone is inherently and equally safe when these conditions are met. However, research shows that certain individuals are more likely than others to and engage in unsafe behaviors. By measuring each individual’s unique “Safety DNA” using validated psychometric testing methods, organizations can use this valuable information to decrease exposure in their workforce, hire safer employees, and build stronger safety leaders that can sustain a thriving safety culture. Please join us for this informative webcast!

We often get requests for information on how to manage difficult people. Our work environment inevitably creates conflict situations on a daily basis. Conflict can be about the work (e.g. my approach versus yours, schedules, priorities) or about relationships (e.g. I don’t trust you, your style is different than mine). Conflict can be a source of creative solutions... but only if people understand both the value of conflict and how to resolve it. Join us to learn how you naturally respond to conflict and how you can leverage conflict for win-win outcomes.

Say “Goodbye” to anxiety when conflict arises!! As women we have an underutilized resource that can be leveraged to improve safety and environmental performance—our feminine energy that projects caring and empathy. These are key to preventing and resolving conflict.

Research consistently shows that women have leadership strengths and frequently receive higher performance reviews than men. Yet many women in EHS express frustration that their observations, opinions and ideas are not taken seriously, even in areas as basic as safety design for women’s bodies.

Now be honest ... not one woman in EHS can honestly say they don't experience conflict with co- workers and business associates. Do you understand the cause of conflicts in starting new programs, implementing solutions or finishing projects? If you're concerned with these questions ... or your response to these questions ... you're not alone.

Our webinar is strongly recommended for any woman in EHS who faces more work in less time and higher expectations from top management.

Truly integrated talent management impacts every level of the business from the C-level all the way down to the last employee, leading to reduced turnover, higher revenue, and increased employee engagement.

In this 3-part webinar series, we’ll dig deeper into what specific value integrated talent systems bring to three different roles; the Business Leader (May 30th), the Manager (June 13th), and the Employee (June 27th).

Workplace mental health issues present significant costs to Canadian businesses. Estimates are as much as $1,494 per person per year. How much does that add up to at your organization? These costs are not obvious, and are hidden in places like turnover, drug plans, absence, disability claims and presenteeism. However, they can be tackled while also improving employee engagement—if you have an integrative mental health program.

Whether your goal is to understand the impact of the recently released National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace, to develop a new strategy and plan or to improve what you are doing now, this webinar will provide the guidance you are looking for. Three industry experts will demonstrate how an approach that is measurable, integrative and flexible is able to deliver financial ROI and employee engagement.

Our presenters will identify successful approaches to identifying risks, building a business case, increasing leadership awareness and developing and training people managers and employees. During this webinar you’ll have an opportunity to compare your mental health readiness to the average of your competitors—getting instant, confidential results—with Morneau Shepell’s free Mental Health Pulse Check tool.
