Driving It Home: Real Change is Not an Even, It's a ProcessBizLibrary
Numbers are rarely fun, so let’s get statistics out of the way first.
Did you know that 87% of employees believe there is not enough focus on “how” to change? (IBM 2015)
Did you know that 90% of CEO’s fear their organizations do not have the agility to maneuver the road ahead? (Global CEO survey)
You may or may not know that retention for stand-alone events or training is 10% at best. (National Training Laboratories)
This is the reality. It hints at many organizations being stuck in their old ways and shows that the current methods and training are not “Driving It Home,” which just happens to be the title of this very webinar.
When it comes to change, most organizations focus on structures, processes, and systems instead of individuals. Few recognize that without a collective mindset for change and innovation targeted towards leaders and employees, their best efforts to change will fail.
So how do we expect our teams and organizations to change if the leaders and individuals within them don’t? How do we expect change to “stick” when we know the poor retention of standalone training and learning sessions?
It is now, more than ever, that workplaces must acquire and utilize the right tools and the right mindset to effectively manage the forces of change. This begs the question: How? That is what we’ll talk about in this must-attend webinar.
Key Learning Objectives
What is getting in the way of change and why creating a mindset for change is so critical now.
The ugly reality of stand alone learning.
An in-depth look at the changing expectations of both consumers and learners.
The power of cinematic micro-learning where learners experience the art of coaching and learning through bite-sized video stories spaced overtime, presented on a technology platform.
Taking the Pain Out of Performance ReviewsBizLibrary
When it comes to employee relations and labor/management conflicts, it's often difficult to find things about which both sides (employee and management) agree.

But, the effective, accurate and objective evaluation of each employee’s performance holds the key to improving the overall performance of your entire organization.
In this program, BizLibrary's Jeremy Lieb, director of recruiting, and Erin Boettge, content manager, will provide actionable steps to improve the performance appraisal processes at your organization and empower you to implement a new program or change an existing one.
During this program, you'll get easy-to-understand insights on:
The role of performance management.

How to Turn Times of Change and Uncertainty into Positive OpportunitiesBizLibrary
Gone are the days of someone working for one company for their entire career. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average person will change jobs 12 times before retiring. This increase in employee turnover can often be attributed to times of change and uncertainty in the workplace, like layoffs, restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, etc. Change in the workplace is inevitable, but it doesn't have to be seen as negative, and it certainly doesn't have to become a reason for talented employees to leave your company.
Join Daniel Binkholder and Derek Smith from BizLibrary as they discuss how times of change and uncertainty can become opportunities to move your workforce in the right direction. They'll explain how learning and development is key to alleviating some of the stress that change and uncertainty brings to employees and their organizations.

Developing the Coaching Skills of Your Managers and Leaders [Webinar 04.13.16]BizLibrary
What are the obligations of managers? The answer to this question varies from organization to organization based upon a number of factors such as industry, culture, department, skill level of the team, etc. Regardless of the organization, at the very heart of this question lies a dilemma. Managers may have to perform well, depending upon a variety of situations at various places along a continuum, ranging from ensuring employees comply with established processes and procedures at one end, to career development and skill improvement towards the other end. Who’s to say which of the outcomes is more or less important? In fact, we’d probably agree that the outcomes suggested by such a continuum are all important depending upon the situation. With so many possible outcomes and objectives legitimately competing for our managers’ attention, are there a set of uniform skills or competencies we can use to guide our managers ongoing training and development? In this webinar you'll learn:
Why coaching skills are important for your managers, leaders and organization
What is coaching and how to apply key skills to align with specific employees and situations
An overview of traditional coaching models and what you can do to improve them
How we can get managers to make time to coach

Why SIMPLE Wins: Escape the Complexity Trap and Get to Work that MattersBizLibrary
Imagine what you could do with the time you spend sitting in meetings and writing emails every day. Complexity is killing companies’ ability to innovate and adapt, and simplicity is fast becoming the competitive advantage of our time.
Drawing on research and themes from her latest book, Why Simple Wins, Lisa Bodell inspires leaders and their teams to proactively move beyond the feelings of frustration and futility that come with so much unproductive work in today’s corporate world, to create a corporate culture where valuable, essential, meaningful work is the norm.
By learning how to eliminate redundancies, communicate with clarity, and make simplification a habit, individuals and companies can begin to recognize which activities are time-sucks and which create lasting value.
Lisa will touch on several key areas to make the case for simplification:
Simplification is a skill that’s available to us all, yet very few leaders use it.
Operating with simplification as a core business model makes economic and ethical sense—for our customers, for our company, and for each other.
Simplicity drives culture, and culture in turn drives employee engagement, customer relations, and overall productivity.
The reality is this:
While organizational complexity is an issue, more often individual complexity is the culprit – we often create the beast that we become slaves to without even realizing it. Using simple stories and techniques, Lisa will show that by using simplicity as an operating principle, we can eliminate the organizational and individual busywork that puts a chokehold on us every day, and instead spend time on the work that matters.
How HR Can Balance Compliance Vision and the Employee ExperienceBizLibrary
Gratitude is a rare thing to receive in human resources. Traditionally, HR’s role in many organizations was to do their best to keep up with paperwork and other tactical requirements of compliance issues, leading employees to see HR as disciplinarians and leadership to see HR as an obstacle to overcome.
But now that HR has the technological bandwidth to handle these compliance tasks, employees and leaders are expecting more. HR has to strike a balance between three competing roles: employee advocate, strategic partner, and compliance facilitator. The workforce continues to put emphasis on wanting to work for companies that will invest in their professional development, and companies are constantly in a battle for top talent. This puts HR in a unique position—they become the bridge between their leadership’s vision and the employee experience, doing their best to protect the organization and support everyone’s future in it. The new HR professional can’t just react to issues—they need the knowledge and tools to become a strategic resource for their organizations.
Join Libby Mullen from BizLibrary and Cassie Whitlock from BambooHR as they discuss how HR professionals can balance the demands of legal, leadership, and employee concerns. We’ll cover four key facets where HR’s efforts will be the key factor in producing desirable results, like increased employee engagement, higher productivity, and strong company culture. With this new mindset, HR will finally have the time, know-how, and buy-in to focus on the human side of human resources.
During this webinar, we will discuss:
How HR professionals can break free of stereotypes and become strategic partners within their organizations.
Four areas of your organization that can generate higher profits and happier employees when HR is viewed as an employee advocate.
The benefits of HR being able to hand over the torch to managers when it comes to giving individuals feedback and recognition.
The overall positive effect this transformation of the HR role can have on an entire organization and how to get your organization on board.
Discover the Real Causes of Your Low Employee EngagementBizLibrary
Employee engagement has become a global dilemma that has cost companies billions of dollars due to lack of profit and productivity. One of the reasons this dilemma has grown so much is because many companies confuse “engagement” with “satisfaction.” While there is some overlap between the two, most employee engagement initiatives don’t get to the real root causes of disengagement issues, so they never see the results they want.
Let's start back at square one and analyze each piece that is needed to solve this giant puzzle of an organization’s employee engagement.
You’ll learn:
- How the different mindsets of engaged, not-engaged and actively disengaged employees impact their coworkers and the organization
- A few strategic models that structure the factors that will be needed to improve engagement
- Why employee engagement should be viewed as a symptom and not a cause of an organization’s troubles

Re-evaluating Your Organization's Skill Gaps BizLibrary

Lessons Learned from the Top Four Cyber Security Breaches & How Your Company ...BizLibrary
Four major cybersecurity breaches are well known today.
Most of us are aware that each of the targeted organizations suffered serious, longstanding financial and reputational repercussions.

BoosterLearning: The Holy Grail for All Forms of TrainingBizLibrary
As trainers, we need to ask hard questions of ourselves. How much do our employees benefit from our training? Are they becoming effective leaders? Are they working smarter, and making healthy choices? In short, is our training having a lasting effect on employees?
We all know that no employee learns from a single exposure to a training. Furthermore, people forget 50% of what they learn within an hour and 70% within a day. It is no wonder training seldom results in transfer to the workplace.
In this engaging session, Professor Art Kohn begins by describing scientific research demonstrating how to produce sustainable learning and behavior change. He then reviews four techniques that companies can use to overcome the forgetting curve. These techniques include booster quizzing, social elaboration, strategic coaching, and depth of processing.
Dr. Kohn will describe case studies where organizations have significantly increased their corporate ROI by instituting a systematic booster program.

The goal is to help organizations and individuals effectively manage challenges and be resilient and optimistic during difficult times of change.

Using Effectance to Better Motivate Yourself and Others: How to make work mor...BizLibrary

The Power of Stay Interviews for Employee Engagement & RetentionBizLibrary
At first glance, stay interviews seem way too simple. Can managers really keep employees longer and cause them to work better, just by asking how they can help?
The answer is “yes”, and research tells us stay interviews can drive turnover down by 20% and more, and also improve employee engagement.
The reason is simple: Stay interviews help managers build trust with their teams. Well-respected research calls out these findings:
Voluntary turnover is skyrocketing in the U.S
Employee engagement has been flat for 15 years
Companies continuously survey employees and implement new programs to “fix” things
…All while employees most want a manager they can trust.
In fact, U.S. companies spend $1.5 billion each year to fix engagement but work around managers rather than through them…and hence make no progress at all.
Stay interviews offer retention and engagement solutions that cannot be achieved with employee surveys or exit surveys. These interviews are conducted one-on-one, put managers in the solution seat, and provide focus on top performers.
To be most effective, stay interviews must be implemented as a process rather than a one-time, solitary event. This process includes assigning managers retention goals, providing stay interview training to build probing skills, training managers to build effective, individualized stay plans, and forecasting how long each employee will stay.
What You’ll Learn
The value and limitations of employee surveys as they provide data but not solutions.
Study data that drives home the importance of supervisor effectiveness as the linchpin that drives each individual employee’s engagement and retention.
The value and techniques for converting engagement and retention to dollar values rather than continue to report them only as scores and percentages which fail to drive executive action.
Specific stay interview tools including questions to ask, data to record, and potential solutions.
The four required skills leaders must learn to make their interviews successful.
How to develop a tool to forecast employee turnover based on interview results.
This session is based on the presenter’s book, The Power of Stay Interviews for Engagement and Retention, which is Society for Human Resources Management’s top-selling book in history.

Effective Time Management Techniques to Teach Your EmployeesBizLibrary
It frequently feels like our work week manages us. The reality of effective time management isn’t to try and squeeze more and more productive minutes out of every day, but to find ways to focus energy and effort into those hours we allocate to work.
In today’s complex world, we have more and more distractions and demands on our time, so it’s extremely important to master techniques of time management to make the most of a resource that is not renewable, never repeats and is limited each day.

Succession Planning and the Development of Your High PotentialsBizLibrary
There are two separate and distinct aspects to effective succession planning initiatives. The organizational or strategic perspective usually dominates the conversation, and that’s okay. It’s at these levels organizations make investments, drive the type of senior leadership involvement and generate alignment with organizational objectives that are the hallmarks of great programs.
In the final analysis, however, succession planning success hinges on whether or not organizations effectively develop and nurture their next generation of leaders. We typically see this aspect of success planning referred to as “high potential” development and it’s frequently just shortened to the term “HIPO.”
In this webinar, we will discuss emerging thought leadership on both subjects and provide some practical suggestions for development of your own high potential employees.

Improving your finance business partneringJamie DAVIES
This document discusses how finance managers can lead their teams through change to become better business partners. It recommends assessing the current state and identifying challenges. Some common challenges are teams spending too much time on low-value tasks and lacking a clear understanding of how to add value.

It emphasizes having a strategic vision while also focusing on current opportunities. Building the right complementary skills across the team is also important for success. The overall message is that finance leaders need to clarify expectations, identify where value can be added, and make incremental changes through empowering teams and continuous improvement.

Consulting engagement - As an output, the leadership team would have a document that would be a blue print for driving sales and marketing initiatives to build a healthy sales funnel and an operational framework for tracking milestones for achieving revenue targets, quarter on quarter, for the entire financial year.
The document discusses best practices in marketing operations. It emphasizes establishing clear goals, metrics, and executive buy-in to drive accountability. Formalizing processes, reviews, and knowledge sharing helps balance marketing strategy and tactics. Success requires clarity, consistency, support, and cross-functional collaboration throughout the organization.
The document discusses the challenges facing C-suite executives and their need for strategic partnerships with marketing agencies. It outlines five key issues for C-suites: trust, teamwork, focus, confidence, and passion. It argues that for agencies to become true strategic partners, they must shift their paradigms in several ways - by putting skin in the game, improving the client's business not just marketing, being willing to say no to non-strategic work, insisting on objective metrics and data-driven decisions, and going the extra mile to demonstrate passion for the client's success. The document provides approaches agencies can take to redefine their value, relationship, and metrics of success with C-suite partners.
This document outlines 10 key capabilities that business leaders need to succeed in a cluttered market according to a survey of 120 business leaders. The top 3 capabilities are: 1) Managing millennials effectively, 2) Leading by example through actions not just words, and 3) Simplifying complexity in business systems and processes. The document provides strategies for improving in each capability area, and encourages leaders to assess their strengths and weaknesses. Overall it advocates that developing key capabilities will help business leaders cut through the clutter and achieve success.
The document describes an INTERVENTION program that aims to identify and address underlying issues inhibiting sales performance. It involves a 4-stage process: 1) Discovery through preliminary analysis, 2) Deep-dive assessment through interviews, 3) Findings and recommendations report outlining issues and remedies, 4) Assistance designing and implementing an action plan. The program is led by Phil O'Brien who has decades of experience turning around underperforming sales teams. The INTERVENTION approach provides clients with strategies to maximize individual and team sales results.

Addressing Mental Health in the WorkplaceBizLibrary
Let’s face it: Work can be stressful. In fact, the Attitudes in the American Workplace VII report found that 80% of workers feel stress on the job, and nearly half say they need help in learning how to manage stress. Although the conversation around mental health is becoming less stigmatized, it’s still a difficult topic to discuss in the workplace. In addition to the red tape and legal concerns, leaders may not feel comfortable advising others because they, themselves, are also grappling with mental health concerns.
This complimentary Training Industry webinar, sponsored by BizLibrary, will empower human resources (HR) and learning and development (L&D) professionals to effectively and ethically address and support employees’ mental health and well-being on an individual and organizational scale.
This interactive webinar will provide actionable insights on:

Employee training is fluid, dynamic, and complex – which is why competency-based training is a more important strategic component of today’s employee learning strategies.

How to Prepare Your Organization for a Safe Re-Entry During COVID-19BizLibrary
As organizations contemplate options for re-entry, a lot of questions emerge. How can everyone remain safe? What if someone gets sick? When is the right time to go back? Should we even re-open the office? With companies like Twitter and Google opting for their employees to remain home for an extended period of time or even indefinitely, it can be hard to know what’s best for your organization.
While there is not a simple answer to these questions, during the webinar, Director of Learning Culture and Talent Development at BizLibrary, Libby Mullen, is going to explain one thing that all organizations must do to make this transition as smooth as possible. Organizations must consider both employees’ physical and mental health and safety when creating their plan for a successful re-entry into the workplace.

Horizontal vs Vertical Career Pathing: How to Make Promotions WorkBizLibrary
Receiving a promotion is the epitome of an employee’s growth and success, but many companies are misusing promotions. As high performers reach their peak, they’re being promoted to managers solely based on performance. This type of career pathing is creating a domino effect in companies. The newly promoted managers often do not have the skillset to manage, therefore their employees become disengaged and your bottom line starts suffering more and more. How can we stop this domino effect from happening?
Join Tiffany Kummer from BizLibrary as she explains her strategy for career pathing using two different approaches, vertical and horizontal. Not everyone is meant to manage (or wants to), and that is okay. Tiffany will show you how you can still advance your high performers without putting them and your company in an unfavorable position.

L&D's Role in Closing the Soft Skills GapBizLibrary
Organizations have tried all types of approaches to fill the soft skills gap. They’ve gone on hiring sprees, brought in consultants and even administered lengthy tests to candidates before hiring — but to little avail, as those gaps remain. What’s the next step? What are these organizations missing?
Training. Upskilling current employees is the most effective and cost-efficient way to bridge skill gaps and create an organization that’s ready for the future. But it doesn’t take just any kind of training.
Join us for this complimentary Training Industry webinar, sponsored by BizLibrary. Katie Miller will discuss the best training strategies to use when looking to close your employees’ soft skills gaps.
Training for Success: Balancing Compliance and Professional DevelopmentBizLibrary

How to Adopt a Servant Leadership Mindset at Your OrganizationBizLibrary
In most organizations, the leaders are the ones that hold the power. Their leadership style resembles one of a traditional hierarchy, where the leaders sit on a pedestal while making commands, have the control, and demand certain outcomes from their employees.

How to Give Feedback and Performance Reviews Like a Coach, Not a BossBizLibrary

Were they your favorite because of the way they led you and your team through successes and failures? How they gave encouraging feedback? The trusting relationship you had? A good manager and employee relationship should mimic the investment your favorite coach had in you and your team.
