Mar'15: Accelerate Performance Experience on the Job: Fast, Effective and Low-Cost Methods (Training Magazine Network)

Tuesday, March 24 (11-12 pm Mountain)

Why is experience the ultimate best teaching model? Why do we miss out on opportunities for improving performance through experience? Research have shown that the demographics in the workforce are gradually changing. Companies are losing more experienced people. Moreover, it is equally getting more difficult to hire people with experience. Unfortunately, learning environments and training programs focus on the theory about the work, and not gaining the experience  needed for the work. As a result, companies lose valuable human resource assets and ultimately,  their competitive edge as well. In this webinar, we will explore how “learning-for-experience” and “learning-for-performance” models to help learners and workers gain experience faster.

Annual performance reviews are a given in business. What is not a given is timely and meaningful feedback throughout the year. Yet research shows that providing ongoing feedback in smaller chunks, while situations and circumstances are still fresh in the employee’s mind, is more effective than a one hour meeting once per year.

10:00AM Pacific / 1:00PM Eastern (60-Minute Session)

Despite economic conditions, unemployment levels, or any other business factor imaginable, your best employees – the ones you need most – want one thing from you, plain and simple: to support their growth and development.  Study after study confirms that development is the single most powerful tool managers have for driving engagement, retention, productivity, and results.

Apr: Reinventing Employee Performance Management, Humanizing a Horrible Process (4Good)

April 23 (11-12 pm Mountain)

Organizations continue to struggle with establishing effective performance management (PM) programs. In a recent survey only 3% of organizations report their PM system adds exceptional value. The problem lies with the inability to move away from a fundamentally flawed system. Sitting in a room developing new forms, processes, competencies, ratings, etc is disconnected from the humanity of the day-to-day work and the real people these systems are designed for. Everyone continues to complain about a structure that should work but in practice cannot produce consistent results, is misapplied and painful to use. We have given performance management over 50 years to prove its worth. Time for a change. There is an alternative to traditional performance management: it begins by bulldozing the existing system and rebuilding something new, simple and effective from the ground up. Key word: simple. Others’ are doing it and you can too. This session will provide new thinking and tools that will help you reinvent an outdated system in your organization.
