Do you have your finger on the pulse of your message? Is it what you intend it to be? Are you connected to the nerve center of the audience...are you calling them to action? Doesn’t matter if it’s it written form or spoken word? Are you connecting to your intended audience, the way in which you want?
This webinar will explore how to make a solid connection with your intended audience, every time you address them. Whether they be front-line staff, management, clients, or prospective employers. It will examine the three key aspects of communication (both written and verbal), explore how to curtail your message for accuracy and detail without error and suggest how to solicit a professional check up as necessary.

In Part 1 of this 2 part presentation, Jeremy Tozer examined a clear strategic role for HR in enabling the creation of the conditions for organizational success. In particular Jeremy examined the role of HR / learning and development in:

• Developing and sustaining organizational leadership capacity as the primary source of strategic competitive advantage.
• Enabling effective development and execution of business strategy and the leadership of change and transformation —this includes ensuring both work alignment and people engagement.

In this second part, Jeremy will give a quick recap of Part 1 and then examine in detail a proven approach to developing this form of collective leadership capability, an approach which also concurrently develops individual leadership behavior and emotional intelligence —an approach which is guaranteed to more than pay for itself with a measurable financial return on investment.

This will be illustrated with detailed and ROI quantified case studies from Cisco, and consulting assignments from across the USA, Asia, Europe and Australasia with other clients such as ABN AMRO, Pfizer, Philips and MCI.

Professional sport coaches and trainers know that the strongest, most experienced athletes aren’t necessarily the best prepared ones. Top athletes also train to build mental and emotional inner strength so they can be resilient and focused, regardless of the situation. Businesses and their employees also need to have strong core confidence so they can cope with rapid market changes and personal challenges. Developing the knowledge and skills for a current or next role just isn’t enough anymore to succeed in today’s increasingly demanding global environment.

Organizations and individuals that have strong core confidence operate more effectively by eliminating the stress and distraction that a lack of trust brings in one’s self and others. Core confidence isn’t something that can be faked or embodied part-time and it’s difficult to describe. It’s a consistent state of being, an “it” factor, and a seemingly natural mojo that we all intuitively perceive and want.

This session will examine what core confidence is, why it’s so empowering and how to assess it concretely in an individual and overall organization. We’ll provide tools that immediately diagnose confidence strengths and weaknesses that will determine a core confidence conditioning strategy and plan. Participants will leave with a sustainable and scalable understanding about confidence that will fundamentally change the way they and their co-workers look at and operate in all aspects of business and life.

In this webinar, TalentGuard will discuss why it is imperative that human resources work directly with managers and their executives to teach them how to become effective career coaches. Coaching is a tool that many organizations use to help employees grow and develop new skills. However, organizations can do a better job of creating a culture of coaching, training managers on a specific methodology and teaching them how to better engage with employees to build richer relationships.

Wouldn’t it be great if your managers and leaders could build better working relationships with their employees that resulted in increased engagement and retention? Knowing how to give managers confidence when it comes to coaching is challenging. If done properly, career coaching can help managers better align employees with your corporate goals and strategies.

Diversity and inclusion efforts can play a positive role in a firm's culture but many organizations today are learning that their diversity and inclusion investments of time and money have not taken them very far. Liken this to the driver who has the gas pedal to the floor while tapping the brakes. Unfortunately, the blame for this underwhelming performance often ends up at the Human Resources department's doorstep. Attendees of this webinar will learn where this hidden resistance is coming from and what to do to remove it. An understanding of the unconscious bias will allow their companies to reap the full benefits from their diversity and inclusion efforts.

New advances in technology result in employees expecting more flexibility, information and empowerment. Is your organization ready to meet these demands? Will your Workforce Management solutions stand up to the challenges coming your way?

In this one-hour seminar, we'll analyze the issues that 'the wave of the future' causes. We'll help employers understand and evaluate the why. Why today's employees expect more flexibility. Why your organization should consider embracing technological advances as an advantageous method of progressing your company’s culture. Then, we'll analyze the how. How to manage your employees effectively while still entrusting them with ‘loose reigns.’ How to comply with the increasing, ever more burdensome, legal regulations imposed by the Department of Labor.

Today’s companies are placing a much higher emphasis on the ability to be creative and innovative in order to move ahead in this economy. They are eagerly looking at ways people, tools and techniques can spark a rebound that gives them a competitive edge. Making innovation and creativity a key cultural value is a goal of any highly effective organization. HR can play a crucial leadership role in helping to get there.

In this lively session, participants will learn how to increase the creative intelligence of their organizations in order to stay ahead of the competition. Participants will come away with new insights, fresh perspectives, and actionable steps to make creativity and innovation meaningful cultural values within their own organizations.

Implementing an MSP/VMS solution can seem daunting, but market research shows that it is a worthwhile pursuit. Much has been written about the value of MSP and VMS solutions; however, there are many steps that must be taken to effectively prime an organization for their implementation. Investing the prerequisite time on the front end will make all the difference in the world; we will share not only the important elements to consider when assessing if an MSP/VMS is the right strategy for your organization, but also a vision of how a potential program might operate.

Learn about laying the groundwork for making the business case that will rally internal support, asking the questions that will uncover opportunities for improvement, and elements to consider when evaluating MSP/VMS providers.

This session will focus on inhibitor/enablers from which to provide greater use and value from assembled talent, leverage HR resources,lower risk,and predictive decision making with better outcomes. HR can now provide real-time, actionable data for more reliable forecasting of costs and resource utilization for executive decision makers. We are not focusing on improving RPO, ATS or other similar HR technologies, though there is certainly room for improvement of all components of the applicable HRIS.

Many decision makers are unsure how this will help manage and grow their business -- especially with all the uncertainty of higher taxes and global geo-political conflicts. We are unable to control geo-political issues, let alone our own Congress. After years of waiting, can you really afford to wait more years to grow your business? Yes, there is risk, but if it can be measured it can be managed.
