Who Can Use More Influence?Chronic problems that persist despite numerous efforts to eradicate them are almost always rooted in human behavior. Here’s why. In a world filled with a never-ending stream of new advances in technology and improvements in leadership methods, problems that can be solved with an invention, a well-delivered speech, or an influx of capital and equipment have already been solved. If articulating an argument or writing a check will eliminate a nagging challenge, you can bet that challenge has already been put to bed.
However, if the problem you’re facing requires a change in what people have been doing (often for years), that’s a very different matter. Behavioral-based challenges typically won’t go away with a single-pronged intervention. That’s because human behavior doesn’t change easily. It can be relatively simple to erect a building, invent a new process, or create a new policy, but to get people to change their old habits, well, now you’re facing a real challenge.

Applications Are Online- Now What?Driving all candidates to on-line applications was billed as the one advancement in healthcare recruiting which was going to transform the process. No more paper applications to be lost, copied or transported. Inputting massive amounts of information was to be a thing of the past and the promised efficiencies were staggering. Now, with 82% of all healthcare delivery systems, with virtually all applications on-line, has the promise been delivered? Well, no. Thousands of applications are going un-reviewed each year and many times the process is even slower. In this webinar, learn how to take control of the on-line process and how to work it in your favor. Delivering on the promise is still possible if you understand how the process should work from the candidates’ view as opposed to the view of Human Resources.

Creating a Performance Development Culture – Do You Have What It Takes?Performance appraisals have long been saddled with a negative, but often accurate image of being a meaningless or even demeaning exercise. Human Resource professionals who intuitively understand the true value and promise of performance measurement often become disillusioned by the administrative effort, lack of support throughout the organization, and “checklist” mentality that persists. Progressive companies recognize the fact that a performance appraisal process is only a natural extension of their employee development efforts and actively promote a performance development culture. In this webinar, we will help participants evaluate their organization’s “readiness” and provide clear steps on how to implement a performance development culture that: 1) aligns to the business strategy, 2) promotes continuous feedback, 3) holds people accountable for growth and 4) utilizes technology that supports a development-focused process.
Workforce Reporting at Safeco Corporation: Creating Business-Focused Scorecards and AnalyticsSafeco Corporation, one of the largest insurance companies in North America, established a Workforce Reporting & Analytics team with the goal of “ensuring that accurate and insightful workforce data analysis is efficiently delivered to appropriate business audiences.” The driving force for workforce analysis was the need to tailor reports to specific segments of the Safeco managerial population, including:
1. Senior executives seeking a common understanding of workforce trends
2. Business leaders requiring “just in time” data presented in customized formats
3. Managers needing to view workforce trends for their employee groups
As such, in this presentation, Sarah Shiiki, Safeco’s Workforce Analytics Manager, will outline critical steps in building a workforce reporting and analytics function. In addition, Sarah will illustrate several examples of Safeco’s reports, including the HR Quarterly Workforce Report, Monthly CEO Review, Weekly Turnover Flash, and the Manager Portal Reports.

The “Truth” about Behavioral InterviewingInterviewing is the most widely used instrument in applicant screening and assessment, yet many companies do not have a sound interviewing process in place. Even if a company does have a structured interview process, they may not be performing a “true” behavior based interview. Research shows that structured, behavioral interviewing that measures candidates’ competencies and job fit motivation are the most accurate at predicting future job success. Many interviewers, however, even after going through behavioral interviewing training, revert to “gut feeling decision making.” Join Paul Glatzhofer (Project Consultant, Select International) and Fran Gross (Senior Industrial/Organizational Psychologist, The Timken Company) as they discuss “best practices” in behavioral interviewing. Learn how The Timken Company has used these practices to hire quality employees.

Doing it Right: Organizational Data Transformation (ODT)As many organizations are well aware, migrating to a new HR or Human Capital Management system is usually a long, perilous, expensive and frustrating journey. All too often, HR analysis and line managers must sift through thousands of positions in an effort to fit the old organizational data into the requirements of the new HR system. In effect, they’re forced to serve the new system, instead of the other way around - manually juggling spreadsheets, Access databases, org charts and custom reports. It’s work that is traditionally labor-intensive, error-prone and almost always leads to project delays and budget overruns. The key to smoother, faster, less-expensive HR implementations is a visual, collaborative solution called Organizational Data Transformation (ODT).

3 Keys to Reducing Defensive Reactions to FeedbackMost managers are able to intuitively assess and describe employee performance issues, but what is difficult is communicating this information to the employee. Nearly all managers dread initiating these conversations and often avoid them, particularly if the performance issue relates to a behavior based issue. The underlying problem is the inability to translate what is “known” into words that are comfortable to say and will have the right effect on the employee. Learn about a new approach that bypasses the need to create performance messages peppered with the employee’s shortcomings. Often we refer to these conversations as “constructive” criticism. Even with the best of intentions, these messages usually feel confrontational causing most employees to react defensively. Utilizing the Performance Continuum Feedback® Method, performance messages come across as honest yet non-threatening allowing the employee to remain open to listening to the information as opposed to engaging in a confrontational exchange with the manager. Avoiding defensive reactions enables managers and employees to come to terms more quickly around developmental solutions and goals.

Preventing “Post-Mortem” Performance Management!In every organization there are two aspects of a performance management system – the formal and the informal. The formal process usually includes year-end or mid-year performance review documents that summarize performance. Too often the report on performance comes to the employee as a shock and does not align with their expectations. In addition, it is not designed to change performance, and relying on it to do so is usually a prescription for failure.
This session will give participants a 4-step model for discussing problem performance in a way that both gets results and maintains the respect of the direct report on a day-to-day basis. Participants in this session will be provided a complimentary copy of the slides and workbook to deliver to managers in their own organizations.
The Benefits of Balance: Combating Stress in the WorkplaceThe stress that employees face in their personal lives is only just a part of their struggle to maintain a healthy work/life balance. When everyday workplace stress is added to the equation, this balance can seem unattainable, and productivity suffers. As an employer, there IS something you can do to help your employees take control of their daily stress management while protecting your organization from the high costs related to lost productivity, absenteeism and turnover, and even increased health care costs.
