Recession-Proof Compliance: Keep the Downturn from Steering Your Workplace toward a CrashStatistically it's pretty clear that when economic conditions worsen employment related litigation increases. Workers may look for something (or someone) to blame if they find themselves on the layoff list. Those who suspect that their selection for a layoff is discriminatory may be more likely to aggressively pursue a claim if they expect to be jobless for a long time. Employees worried about their jobs may be stressed and edgy, leading to performance issues. Laid off workers and their attorneys may be scrutinizing employer compliance with WARN act and COBRA requirements.
We saw this trend in earlier, milder downturns. Under today's conditions the situation could easily be much worse.
In this one hour webcast we'll take a look at how you can "recession-proof" your workplace.

Transforming HR and IT from “Wayward Children” to Drivers of Business SuccessIt is my belief that sound human resource (HR) and information technology (IT) practices are capable of driving organizational success. Yet my observation and experience indicate that far too many HR and IT departments do not even come close to realizing this capability. To the contrary, both areas often are viewed internally as obstacles to individual and organizational success that divert scarce resources from areas that do the “real” work.
My contention is that organization executives enable mediocre performance by failing to challenge HR and IT to live up to their respective potential. Actively and passively, intentionally and unintentionally, consciously and unconsciously, they enable behavior and results that they refuse to accept from other functional areas. Though others, including HR and IT professionals and academics, certainly can “claim” a share of the blame, the top decision-makers are the ones who consistently have tolerated behavior and results that fall far short of the mark.

A New Recipe for Lemonade: Simple Ways to Thrive in Turbulent TimesBy Andrea Chilcote and Susan Reece, PhD.

The work of reversing the labor economy’s slide will not be so simple. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act seeks to bring timely relief to 11.6 million unemployed Americans and 734,000 discouraged workers -- so called by the Bureau of Labor Statistics because they have given up looking.

Upwards, Downwards, and Sideways: Using TalentFlow Analytics to Measure Employee MovementOften overlooked in workforce plans and executive scorecards are metrics and analytics that illustrate how internal mobility—the upward, downward, and lateral movement of employees—contributes not just to business success but individual development.
The organizational imperative to address these questions is two-fold. First, in order for an organization’s workforce planning processes to provide meaningful data to the business and HR, it is essential to know not just where employees are currently, but where they have been and are likely going to be in the future.
Second, if HR leaders are unaware of what opportunities their employees have to move and advance within the organization, employees are likely to be equally unaware.
In this webinar, Infohrm’s Nick Garbis and Andrew Jacobus will outline innovative practices for identifying optimal career paths for business-critical jobs, where limited opportunities are driving turnover, and the efficacy of recruitment and selection processes.

The Value of Training in Surviving and Thriving in an Economic DownturnIn these tough times, talent management activities are often lumped into a ‘non-mission-critical-expenditure’ bucket, which makes their budgets a likely target for reduction or altogether elimination. This short-term view can be very costly in the long run. In fact, this is when it becomes most critical to devote existing resources to the most critical talent management activities that will drive business success.
In this webcast, TalentQuest’s president of consulting services, Dr. Rick Brandt and executive consultant, Dr. Eric Roth, will discuss training as a response to the economic downturn. They will examine the value of basic supervisory training and its potential to have a real and immediate impact on organizational performance. They will provide practical recommendations on how to turn training initiatives into development programs that will make a lasting difference to the organization and the individual. They will discuss the importance of talent management in increasing engagement and productivity in a highly distracting environment. Finally, they will share ideas of how you can shift the ‘training imperative in an economic downturn’ conversation from ‘can we afford to’ to ‘we can’t afford not to.’
Make Sure Tough Decisions Are Smart Decisions: Optimize HR Processes and Minimize Compliance RiskAt a time when companies in all industries and all sizes are looking to aggressively reduce operating costs, it may be logical to surmise that the need to more efficiently and strategically manage the workforce is not a critical imperative. After all, one way many organizations trim expenses is by reducing their workforces. However, in the face of increasing layoffs, the need to effectively manage employees becomes more acute. As many HR departments still rely heavily on manual processes – or use automated processes that are not integrated – organizations are potentially making critical decisions about layoffs without accurate information. As a result, many of these organizations are in danger of letting go employees with much-needed skills or letting go employees that could increase the chance of bringing legal action.
Top Trends of 2009: The Business Benefits of Integrated Talent ManagementYou’ve probably heard the term “integrated talent management” by now, even outside the HR Department and C-suite, but what does it really mean? More importantly, how can it help your organization’s bottom line?
To be successful, today’s organization must be able to adapt to new, shifting workforce dynamics. Globalization presents more than new markets. It also means new challenges in how we manage our talent, how employees choose to communicate and collaborate, how HR organizations keep leadership pipelines healthy, and how companies develop internal cultures focused on high-performance.
Tune in to this highly informative webinar to learn about “integrated talent management” and how it addresses the challenges faced by organizations today.
Harassment Training and the AB 1825 Fallacy: Getting It Right in 2009AB 1825, California’s law regarding the prevention of sexual harassment, requires organizations to provide training to all supervisors and managers in California every two years. For the vast majority of organizations, 2009 is a “training year”. As a result, they are faced with deciding how to fully comply with the very specific regulations implemented by the Fair Employment and Housing Commission (FEHC) without repeating the same training provided in 2007. What many employers fail to recognize, however, is that simply complying with AB 1825 can be disastrous from a legal perspective.

Why the Lopsided Look at Employee Engagement???For years, the research on Employee Engagement has centered on how managers and organizations can build higher levels of Engagement in the workplace. Simply put, the responsibility and accountability is forced on Management to create Engaged workers. While it is certainly virtuous and valuable to have Management accept ownership for Employee Engagement, it has also formed a myopic mask over where at least half of the ownership should lie - with the employees themselves.
Joan Lloyd’s HR Words of Advice: Myopic Manager Doesn’t See Big PictureDoing unto one and not another may seem like the best thing to do, but it could lead to trouble with employees in the future. Joan Lloyd deciphers the truth.
Reorganization, Restructuring or Downsizing? Today’s troubled economy is forcing companies to evaluate a myriad of belt-tightening strategies. From layoffs, to slashing budgets, merging/acquiring, changing markets, and implementing new business strategies ---- leaders are exploring all these potential changes in their efforts to weather the storm. No matter what strategies organizations choose to implement, there is one action step that all managers must implement: engender the buy-in, engagement, and confidence of employees. A successful transition depends on a manager’s ability to make these connections with employees ----and make them NOW.
How Effective Workforce Management Can Help Weather The Storm The global economy is cyclical – it will inevitably rebound and, within a few years, organizations will be competing even more intensely for talent. Alice Snell explains.
Social Networking Meets Recruitment 2.0
Looking back over the last 20 years, one can only be amazed over the evolution that the recruiting environment has experienced. I recall the days of placing job ads in Saturday newspapers with the only stress being to make sure that there was enough paper in the fax machine for the weekend. In those days, Monday mornings felt somewhat like winning a jackpot lottery, seeing over 200+ paper resumes come through and hiring a significant number of employees as a result. As time passed and new technological advances were introduced into the market, results from newspaper ads started to diminish. Like any aggressive recruiter, it was time to look for the next best thing!

State of the Economy Will Compel Business Leaders to Take a Closer Look at Employee OwnershipAs we envision what the corporation of the 21st century should look like in order to thrive in a global and dynamic economy, it’s critical for universities and policy makers to have a comprehensive understanding about the new realities inside corporations. Creating or running a company with significant employee ownership is not simple, but has been demonstrated to be a successful model with benefits to all—employees, shareholders, and customers. Business schools play a critical role in helping individuals as well as organizations understand the components of employee ownership, defining the possibilities of implementing ownership-based practices, and most importantly training today’s business leaders and our next generation leaders to strengthen the commitment both of employees and employers to the health and success of the 21st century Corporation.
Delivering a 21st Century Recognition Program Twenty-first century business leaders can no longer afford to ignore their global organization’s fractured and disparate employee recognition programs. While these disjointed, unmeasured and unaccountable programs do nothing to drive employee engagement and productivity, program budgets continue to hemorrhage company funds on meaningless rewards with no return. Panelists will discuss how to overcome old-school employee incentive program thinking and prompt your company to reassess its ambition to drive culture change and realize true global and strategic employee recognition.
