Employee health asssessments indicate that as many as 70% of employees report that they 'don't get enough sleep' or are 'often tired at work' and research shows that sleepy employees are sick more often, miss more work and have more accidents and injuries.

What does this mean for your organization? In this presentation, Carolyn Schur, a sleep and fatigue management specialist, will highlight the primary factors contributing to sleep deprivation and outline the consequences for the workplace. She will also provide practical, immediate and long-term organizational measures that can be implemented to ensure better employee performance, health and safety and reduce benefit costs.

As part of the rich history on the topic of identifying and developing ‘high potential’ employees, literally thousands of books, articles, and research papers have been written. Considering this weight of research, “pet theories” abound, with as many different ideas on how and what to do as there are HR leaders in different organizations. Join Dr. Henryk Krajewski, a recognized leader in BOTH the research and practice of talent assessment and development to share a unifying view of what matters most in selecting – and keeping – the best talent. Dr. Krajewski will distinguish what matters from what doesn’t, dispel popular myths about talent, and help you focus in on winning strategies that will help you attract and retain “differentiated” talent. Specific learning objectives include: • Learning to use compelling “business-language” conversations about the importance of top talent. • Which assessment methods and tests are research supported, and an analysis of those that aren’t. • What empirical research says about the factors proven to attract high potentials. • Gaining knowledge and familiarity with the age-old psychological data that has simply been “recycled” time and time again in popular books re: engagement. • How to use technology to make all of this easier!

“How can Canadian HR Practitioners ‘Walk the Leadership Talk’?” This is a critical time in the Canadian public sector. There has been talk of modernization for years now, but programs and policies have yielded, at best, mixed results. As HR Advisors we play an important role in this equation and need to modernize our own approaches. Rather than come at organizational or complex cases with carefully worded strategies and programs, we need to begin to identify and address the root causes of the leadership gap that our clients are facing, and advise them on how to close it. In other words, current and aspiring leaders don’t need HR technocrats but HR partners they can trust to provide them with strategic and frank advice on how to resolve complex HR issues and lead their people.

Have you ever have the uneasy feeling that the independent contractor your company has been using is really an employee? Or that the Employment Agreements your employees sign are dangerously inconsistent and out of date? What about feeling that that there may be some overtime owed to a group of employees, but they haven’t complained yet?

In this webcast, HR Options will discuss the common mistakes employers make. This webcast will give us the forum to discuss the common pitfalls employers can fall into, even with seemingly appropriate human resources practices in place. We will discuss practical solutions to keep employee complaints at bay.

In a time of talent shortages and economic competitiveness, employee engagement has never been so important to organizational success. This presentation will address how to quickly and effectively engage your employees by weaving engagement into the entire employee life cycle, from his/her first day with the company, to his/her last day on the job.

The speaker will share the importance of properly on-boarding employees, how to boost employee performance and productivity through engagement, and how a departing employee can help improve the workplace. Webcast participants will learn how to optimize the employee experience to maximize success and minimize turnover by addressing the following areas:

• Accelerating productivity and engagement through on-boarding, orientation & training, and socialization
-
• Boosting performance by optimizing engagement on the job
• Managing retention through controllable and regrettable exits

Participants will learn about the role of employee surveys in measuring engagement throughout the employee lifecycle, and how to best leverage survey results to develop successful action plans.

There’s little argument today that a workplace health/benefits plan cost management strategy that relies on plan cutbacks and increasing employee cost is not sustainable. Many Canadian organizations feeling the pain of benefits cost increases still focus, however, on short-term, cost-control opportunities. Often, organizations undertaking these measures would prefer to be shown a better way to manage their spend, and this session will explore some opportunities for employers in this regard.

Organizations often consider their health/benefits programs from a cost perspective rather than the value to the organization. We know however, from decades of research, that organizations benefit from improved employee health; for example - through more sustainable health care and disability costs. And current employee engagement research has shown that improved productivity and overall performance improve as employee engagement increases.
