With the great expense that is poured into developing and acquiring technology, HR departments have repeatedly found themselves bemoaning poor adoption and usage numbers. More vexing still are the stories of other organizations that have implemented identical platforms, but with much different outcomes. The message, then, is that adoption and implementation is far less about the technology than it is the people, the process, and understanding of your own organization.

In this session, we will review the most common reasons implementations fail, and simple steps technology owners can take to support early adoption and long-term usage. This will include a number of classic change management and process design tools.

How often have you hired someone with a great track record who turned out to be a bad hire? By discovering what a candidate’s previous managers and colleagues candidly say about their work style, skills and behaviors, you can objectively assess the candidate’s ability to be a top performer. Through this session, you will learn how technology has introduced a way for talent acquisition professionals to capture behavioral feedback from five references in just two days for each job candidate, and how to avoid candidates who score low with references. Also, see an overview of how this technology infuses compliance, consistency, reliability and validity into each reference-check and obtains feedback that identifies developmental needs of candidates.

We all know that no employee learns from a single exposure to a training. Indeed, within two hours, more than 50% of content is forgotten, and within a week, 95% is forgotten. It is no wonder training seldom results in transfer to the workplace.

This webinar will review four important techniques that overcome the forgetting curve. These techniques include booster quizzing, social elaboration, strategic coaching, and depth of processing.

In this hands-on webinar, we will teach HR professionals techniques to incorporate these techniques into both their formal and informal trainings. Within a week, your trainings will be significantly more effective and transfer will increase.

Workplace mental health issues present significant costs to Canadian businesses. Estimates are as much as $1,494 per person per year. How much does that add up to at your organization? These costs are not obvious, and are hidden in places like turnover, drug plans, absence, disability claims and presenteeism. However, they can be tackled while also improving employee engagement—if you have an integrative mental health program.

Whether your goal is to understand the impact of the recently released National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace, to develop a new strategy and plan or to improve what you are doing now, this webinar will provide the guidance you are looking for. Three industry experts will demonstrate how an approach that is measurable, integrative and flexible is able to deliver financial ROI and employee engagement.

Our presenters will identify successful approaches to identifying risks, building a business case, increasing leadership awareness and developing and training people managers and employees. During this webinar you’ll have an opportunity to compare your mental health readiness to the average of your competitors—getting instant, confidential results—with Morneau Shepell’s free Mental Health Pulse Check tool.

Truly integrated talent management impacts every level of the business from the C-level all the way down to the last employee, leading to reduced turnover, higher revenue, and increased employee engagement.

In this 3-part webinar series, we’ll dig deeper into what specific value integrated talent systems bring to three different roles; the Business Leader (May 30th), the Manager (June 13th), and the Employee (June 27th).

Three different companies will share how integrated talent management:

• Allows senior leaders to guide their business growth
• Enables managers to better assess and develop their teams
• Makes employees feel more appreciated, encouraging them to work harder

At its most basic level, “analytics” is the look at performance metrics in order to identify cause & effect relationships that can guide future actions. But this doesn’t necessarily mean complicated and expensive software; instead it just means using root cause analysis thinking to look for patterns in the data. This presentation will provide an example of the use of root cause analysis (RCA)to look at workforce turnover, and how iterative analysis of the data can help inform our decisions. It will also discuss how HR professionals need to both understand and use RCA, but also deploy it within the organization as a basic core competency.

Workforce Analytics (WFA) improves workforce decision-making by helping companies find answers to key questions about workforce challenges and how to solve them. EPI-USE and SuccessFactors have recently concluded a research study of Workforce Analytics programs around the globe and will share perceptions of where the discipline is headed over the next 5 years, best practices of successful WFA programs, and areas of opportunity to apply WFA in your organization. This research is unique in that the findings will look beyond the current state and best practices to highlight areas of progress over the past 5 years, as well as predictions for how the field will mature in the future. Identifying the key differentiators of world-class WFA programs and tailoring these approaches to your organization can help advance your program, regardless of where you are on the journey.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly referred to as the PPACA, or the health reform law) poses unique and complex challenges to employers everywhere. Although the law is already three years old, its signature provisions—and most onerous requirements—take effect January 1, 2014, just months from now.

Employers everywhere are scrambling to understand and comply with the law’s complex rules. The issues and challenges for employers vary significantly depending on employer size and industry sector. But the law will impact all employers in some way: financially, in hiring and retention, and in the great many administrative challenges the law imposes.

We look forward to helping you understand the impact of health care reform on your business.
