This session will focus on absence management in the workforce today. Proper absence management is key to helping organizations maintain the highest levels of productivity, minimize the total cost of labor, and ensure compliance with constantly changing Federal and State leave management legislation. Tools in the areas of leave requests, benefit accruals, vacancy tracking, and case management help organizations streamline benefit and leave tracking processes. This results in lower absenteeism, increased productivity, less manual processing, and overall compliance with leave standards. When organizations utilize absence management best practices, they can reach these goals and focus attention back on a productive workforce.

Most retailers agree transforming and improving the in-store experience is critically important for success, but not enough has been said about the role of the store employees who shape that customer experience (positive or negative). Earlier this year, RSR released their benchmark report WFM 2013: The Store Employee in the Customer Age, and noted: “Aside from the instant gratification that comes from taking a product home after a purchase, it’s the store employee that can make the difference to the in-store experience. But getting the most value out of the employee investment remains a challenge.” In this webinar, Paula Rosenblum from RSR will walk us through the report findings and recommendations for retailers nationwide.

As organizations seek to improve the effectiveness of contingent labor management programs, a holistic view of the workforce and strategies for optimizing spend is essential. A solution that combines information about full time and contingent workforces provides visibility into total talent and allows organizations to more effectively source talent, control costs and manage a blended workforce.

This webcast will provide insight into ways that organizations can achieve visibility into their talent pipeline. Key takeaways from the presentation will include:

• How an integrated system can manage permanent and contingent workforce
• How reporting can be used to change recruitment behavior across your entire workforce
• How technology can be used to drive change through the business

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.

Join Aberdeen Group Research Director Christopher J. Dwyer as he walks through the research findings from his 2012 Contingent Workforce Management study and unveils a series of frameworks, strategies and solutions for effectively managing the typical contract workforce. With nearly a third of the average organization's workforce considered contingent in some sense, it has become critical for organizations to better manage this program. This event will highlight growing trends and next-generation strategies for managing the modern contingent workforce umbrella and will assist organizations in building an effective program. Dwyer's session will also highlight the importance of analytics and reporting, as well as solutions utilized by Best-in-Class companies in driving true value from their contingent workforce management programs.

The primary benefit of using a quality scheduling software is simply better communication between the employer and employee. Employee scheduling software saves everyone time, and saves the business money. However, with the recent changes in Canadian alcoholic beverages regulations, many Canadian businesses will be experiencing expired certifications for the first time within the next few years. The right scheduling software can also help ensure that these businesses avoid fines and license revocations associated with uncertified employees by automatically preventing employees with expired certifications from being scheduled (or clocking in) without renewing their certification first. In fact, with some web-based labor software, employees can even upload their renewed certifications to the website so that management has it on file.

Five New Ways to Move Beyond Status Quo Technology Implementation HRIS and other talent technology intiatives such as ERP and cloud migrations can fail in implementation due to mis-alignment with business objectives and/or user adoption rates. In many cases, internal business users will avoid or fail to give their buy-in to the launch of a solutions launch. It is time to move beyond the "status quo" of typical HR technology applications to an experience that supports workforce effectiveness and personal productivity. This session, based on the studies of hundreds of successful technology implementations, will help HR leaders and their executive team counterparts use new "next practices" alignment and engagement techiques to accelerate successful outcomes to their technology launch(es). The session will give participants both strategic perspectives and practical tips, as well as provide a case study with the Boys & Girls Clubs, around the selection, creation and implementation of new applications that enhance the overall work experience rather than simply compliance or maintenance uses. > How to link to technology projects to overall business objectives- not HR but PA (People Apps that work). > Building a user experience that truly engages them. > Integrating other major initiatives such as intraprenuership and employer branding to your technology launch.

For years, we have heard the adage “People are Our Most Important Asset”. Although most of us would agree that this statement is true, we also recognize that many organizations fail to manage their people asset as closely and carefully as they do their other core assets (property, plant, equipment, money/finances), and thus do not realize the maximum Return on Investment from this asset that they could otherwise attain. Attend this webinar to see how and why a fully integrated Human Capital Management (HCM) strategic solution including both Talent Management (TM) and the burgeoning discipline of Workforce Management (WFM) leads to a significantly higher-performing organization…an organization where the people asset truly is managed as carefully and effectively as other corporate assets! See how TM and WFM work together in a complementary and synergistic way to lead to higher individual, group, and organizational performance.
