“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.

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.

The majority of small businesses fail due to mismanagement, lack of experience, knowledge or foresight. Entrepreneurs typically have high levels of passion and energy; however, once they become business owners they must ensure that every facet of their operation is protected and aligned with objectives. Knowing the ins and outs of legislation, effective management standards and the critical practices that ensure a solid, internal strength is not only daunting, but also often overlooked. During this webinar you are going to learn about:

• Common Internal Threats
• What You Can do to Protect Your Business and Mitigate Risks
• Essential Policies to Develop
• How to Gain Support
• The importance of Implementation

While organizational culture has been touted since the early 2000 as essential for business success, there has been little connection between organizational culture and individual “fit”.

We have found that by knowing “who you are” and “who they are” from a cultural perspective, you can create an employment opportunity that allows for a more authentic and congruent work experience.

By paying attention to congruence, alignment and fit, individuals can find organizations that are better aligned with their value system and more rewarding experiences.
