How Talent Management Tools Help Your Managers Coach with ConfidenceLet’s face it, most managers, both new and experienced, aren't good coaches. Why? They don’t take the time and effort to have those important – positive and not so positive – performance conversations with their employees on an ongoing basis. Some by nature avoid confrontation; others get bogged down with their day to day workload and lose this focus.
But ask yourself - which employee is more engaged and strives to be your highest performer? The one whose manager only sits down to have an uncomfortable performance conversation during review season? Or the one whose manager gives them regular recognition, positive affirmation, and timely corrective feedback, and who’s focused on developing their team?
In this webinar, leadership expert Steve Roesler will explain the importance of coaching and its impact on engagement. Joining him, Melanie Rydalch, Regional Human Resources Manager from Basic American Foods, will share how an automated talent management system has helped their managers improve their coaching.
The Survival Guide for Leaders: Tactics for the Tough Times We live in a time of danger and opportunity. Individuals, organizations, communities, and countries must continuously adapt to new realities just to survive. Wanting to thrive even under constantly shifting and often perilous conditions, people in all sectors are called on to lead with the courage and skill to challenge the status quo. Ron Heifetz, “adaptive leadership” expert and author of Leadership Without Easy Answers, Leadership on the Line, and, new book, The Practice of Adaptive Leadership, will show how leading in times of great change is both an improvisational and experimental art, and, crucially, a skill—a practice—that can be developed and improved.
Implementing Behavioral Interviewing at Diversified Clinical Services: A Case Study in Best PracticeIn today’s challenging economy, conducting structured, behavioral interviews is more important than ever. High unemployment rates mean that companies are inundated with applicants for job openings – many of whom are not qualified for the position. Employers that allow their hiring managers to rely on their “gut feeling” to make hiring decisions are opening themselves up for potential legal issues that can damage an organization’s reputation and cost the company millions of dollars. Join Scott Snyder, Director of Recruiting at Diversified Clinical Services and Carolyn Lees-Hotton, Ph.D., Senior Consultant at Select International, as they discuss best practices in implementing a behavioral interviewing program. They will discuss lessons learned and what has worked for DCS in their implementation of a behavioral interviewing program, and also how DCS used these practices to hire quality employees.

Innovations in Succession Management Methods and ApplicationsThe purpose of succession management is to ensure a steady supply of talent for pivotal positions within an organization.

Yet many companies approach succession as a once-a-year event where employees are “racked and stacked” into broad, often illdefined categories. This session explores innovations in talent management methods and technology allowing organizations to shift away from the traditional succession mindset to less disruptive and more effective approaches which are integral to ongoing TM activities. Participants will complete a series of hands-on exercises examining how these innovations can be applied within their own companies.
