Lets face it, managers AND employees alike hate your current once a year annual process.

Einstein says that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results.

Learn why you need to kill your current process, and replace it with a be BOLD new alternative  – one that you can get started in 7 minutes!

Join Employee Engagement expert Bob Kelleher as he facilitates a dynamic presentation of a new performance appraisal process…one that will ROCK your workforce.

This webinar will include:

• The latest trends in performance appraisals
• Successful case studies
• Why you shouldn’t just eliminate appraisals without an alternative
• A cool 4 Touch Point process that you can implement right away

Bob will introduce you to, The Engagement Accelerator™, a brand new concept in assessments, that begins with a simple 7 minute assessment of an employee’s preferred workstyles.

Unlike other assessments, which measure personality, behavioral, and or leadership profiles,  The Engagement Accelerator™ measures 13 preferred work preferences and engagement drivers , and serve a stimulus for both self-reflection and for sincere dialogue between employees and managers.

During this webinar, Bob will highlight the research and ideas from his latest book I-Engage, which provides the framework for The Engagement Accelerator’s™ foundational questions, and provide the latest in employee engagement research and trends – including why only 33% of your employees are engaged (according to Gallup).

Bob will also share practical case studies on how firms are using The Engagement Accelerator™ as the platform to revolutionize their performance appraisal process, as an on-boarding tool, and as part of a management training program.

For some companies, building analytics themselves is the right decision.

For others, buying from a third party makes the most sense.

The equation seems simple. If you have a development staff then you should build yourself but if you need to get to market buying a solution might make more sense.

What Nat Venkataraman (LinkedIn profile) & Michael McLaughlin (LinkedIn profile) found in talking with thousands of prospects is that the calculus is far more complex.

In this webinar Michael & Nat will discuss:

• What questions should I ask to decide if I should build or buy?
• How does UI/UX development factor in to my decision?
• What do I give up when I build or buy?
• How does the decision impact my developers?

Professionals working in the field of project management are often exposed to stressful situations and frustrations caused by a wide variety of challenges ranging from unrealistic expectations, stakeholder resistance, or constantly changing priorities.

The reactions to these challenges depends greatly on the individual, their experience, and capabilities.

One thing that is certain is professionals could employ different techniques in dealing with organizational or team stressors, some positive, and others negative.

Unfortunately, even the most seasoned professionals are sometimes susceptible to committing a major mistake or taking an action that could ultimately be detrimental to the organization.

Given that all projects are about relationships, one of the most common causes of mistakes is due to misalignment of relationships.

As project, program, and portfolio managers react to these misalignments either fix them or to deal with frustration, there is a major risk that the action could ultimately result in burning bridges in terms of relationships with stakeholders, sponsors, customers, or organization. Burning bridges results in irreparable damage to relationships and often in hind sight may not be necessary.

In this webinar  Philip Diab (LinkedIn profile) explores the concept of burning bridges through a series of scenarios based on fictionalized accounts and stories.

The session will draw upon lessons learned from real life situations to share tips on how professionals can guard against unnecessary mistakes leading to burned bridges.

Philip will also discuss potential techniques and actions to be used in avoiding some common mistakes.

How to Make the Most of Your Skills, Passions, & Future

In an economy marked by the volatility and uncertainty of corporate layoffs, downsizings, and outsourcing, traditional full-time employment is declining.

Increasingly in its place are short-term assignments, contract and consulting work, and freelance assignments – a new way of working called “The Gig Economy.”

In this eye-opening program, Diane Mulcahy, (LinkedIn profile) author of The Gig Economy: The Complete Guide to Getting Better Work, Taking More Time Off, and Financing the Life You Want, narrows the lens.

Diane focuses on how women, more than ever before, can leverage this new way of work in order to more favorably (and more easily!) juggle the multiple roles and hats they have always worn.

Learn:

• How to manage the risks of “gig work” while maximizing the rewards
• Ways to thrive in this new landscape by cultivating multiple sources of income, skills, and a financial safety net
• Secrets for how to finance time off between gigs – travel, volunteer, or pursue your passions
• How to regain power over your calendar and control over you time
• Ways to increase financial flexibility by reducing fixed costs and boosting income and savings

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.
