In the last 15 years there has been an explosion of technology-enabled candidate and employee assessments, driven in large part by growing access to a low-cost, high-speed internet. HR Departments have used this technology to increase the scale, efficiency, and pace of their human capital processes. However, most of these assessments either fail to take advantage of the web’s flexibility or provide overly complex functionality that managers will rarely, if ever use. In this virtual session we will use case studies to provide practical advice for getting the most out of technology at the three most important points in the employee lifecycle: selection, development, and high potential identification.

The current available talent can seem overwhelming to hiring managers, but there is a more effective way to distinguish worthy candidates than by judging their choice of font. Pre-employment assessments offer a solution to an otherwise abstract decision making process, and will save companies time and money when they hire the best candidate. Pre-employment assessments are extremely powerful tools that help organizations select and onboard individuals for open positions. Despite the utility of pre-employment assessments, some senior executives have misconceptions and often questions that they need answered before fully supporting a new process to implement pre-employment assessments in their organizations. With the cost of new hire training and company integration becoming increasingly expensive, finding the perfect candidate means more than excluding bad choices. Firms that hire individuals who match their corporate ethics, culture and business approach find those candidates have a better chance of “hitting the ground running” and have greater success and longevity in their jobs.

Jac Fitz-enz and other thought leaders in the HR community have long been advocates of HR metrics – challenging us to measure our results and our efficiency. Now they are challenging us again, to bring our game to the next level by tracking and reporting our contribution to the organizational bottom line. In order to do so, we need to first step back and consider the cause and effect; to understand leading indicators (the things we must get right in order to achieve the outcomes we are accountable to achieve) and trailing indicators. In this workshop, we will uncover and explore the leading indicators over which HR has the greatest control. They are the factors that have the greatest influence over employee engagement and turnover, productivity in the workplace, customer satisfaction, and even the company’s financial performance. Once these leading indicators are exposed, we will offer three simple strategies that will help you and your team to put them to work in your organization right away.

Africa is the new kid on the “RPO” block when it comes to new locations from which service delivery can be located. Unlike India, China and the Philippines, a few African countries already have better infrastructure, language capability, and lower labor costs. Nineteen of the top 25 poorest countries in the world are located in the African continent. It was only a matter of time before the influence of globalization gave promise to developing countries. Now Africa is poised to turn the Recruitment Process Outsourcing industry among others, upside down from the bottom up. The benefits to the industry and customers of RPO will enormous.

This webinar will address the too-frequent employer error of making hiring decisions based on candidates' skills (or worse, based on their experience) and then eventually firing workers due to reasons of "fit." Application of proven science can put an end to this unfortunate and exceedingly expensive cycle. This webinar will show how it is done; how to hire on fit. The proven science of predicting performance - of measuring the factors that most strongly correlate with performance on the job and then making hiring and talent management decisions based on those factors – will be explained, and results illustrated. We will emphasize how this powerful science is now accessible to all organizations, at affordable cost.
