Succession planning is critical to any organization’s future success and as such, must be integrated with internal HR practices and clearly linked to business strategy. An effective and well planned succession planning process can assist in retaining top performers by integrating individual career development plans; ensure business continuity as predicted turnover occurs; support workforce planning such as planned reorganizations and market shifts; and can also create a sustainable leadership model. But in order to do so, it is critical to establish and maintain a systematic succession planning program.

This webinar will provide participants with a step-by-step model that connects career development and succession planning processes in order to build a strong talent foundation. The webinar will introduce and explain processes and tools   most commonly applied in best practice approaches when integrating career development into succession planning models. The session will also provide insight into how to implement career development and succession planning into an organization, and how to maintain the program once it’s introduced.

The webinar speaker will share her experiences with introducing succession planning models, maximizing the benefits of the program, addressing common issues, and the resulting acceptance of succession planning as a critical part of the company’s business continuity plan.

For many people, trends are either for (1) the bean counters upstairs to find more reasons to slash our budgets or (2) the organizational leadership to find more reasons for us to do more with less. These perceptions could not be further from the truth. While the improper use of trends lends itself to the boring staff meeting and Death by PowerPoint full of meaningless statistics; trends in all actuality provide a window into the organizational external environment and provides a roadmap to the direction the organization should be headed. This direction could be to capitalize on organizational strengths, take advantage of short lived market opportunities, avoid situations that emphasize organizational weaknesses or to prepare for a potential crisis either financial or operationally.  While the effective presentation of trends can provide critical environmental intelligence to the senior leadership; it is the integration of that intelligence into human resource (HR) plans, aligning the revised strategic and operational plans to the business model and aggressively implementing those plans that will provide organizations the critical edge over their competition.

What are trends? How important are they? Why should we use them? How do I integrate trends into my HR plan?  How do I align the changed plan into my firm’s business model/ What are the leading HR trends for 2012?  How do I recognize and measure success if I use the trends in my planning efforts? While these questions may seem daunting, today’s HR professionals must have a clear understanding of how to effectively use HR trends as a critical management  tool to update and improve their HR plan so that it effectively  meets organizational needs based on the business model  and implement an HR plan that effectively addresses the challenges and opportunities presenting by the HR trends in 2012 and provide an organization the flexibility, agility and nimbleness to retain its completive edge

Learning Objectives:

• Understand what trends are, their importance, their value as intelligence and as environmental tools
• Understand the principles behind using HR trends as environmental intelligence and management tools.
• How to develop and integrate metrics into the trend analysis and plan development process. How to recognize success.
• Understand the leading HR trends for 2012.
• Understand how to use HR trends as environmental intelligence and management tools and how to incorporate trends into HR operational and strategic planning efforts.

This webinar introduces you to a relatively new social science paradigm, Followership. For many years followership was viewed as an appendage to leadership and in many business schools, the focus has been on leadership. Why? The answer is really very simple. Leadership has always been viewed as the foundation of organizational power and influence. Did you know that leaders really spend 20 to 30 percent of their time leading, and 70 to 80 percent of their time following, but that following has never been viewed as an essential activity?

Most people have a rather negative perception of followers. Children’s games of Follower the Leader, automotive manufacturer Audi’s bold declaration of “Never Follow” and parent’s warning to their children if “”Johnny is going to jump off of a bridge, are you going to follow him? ; reinforce the negative societal perception of sheep –like followers who are easily influenced, molded and are of little worth. Like with leadership,  there are specific  and distinct followership styles and associated behavioral attributes that certainly have an effect on organizations and their performance.

Leadership model’s like the Hersey-Blanchard Situational Leadership Model, focuses on leadership style based on the follower or group maturity level. Though this particular model has much research to support the premises of the theory, the focus is still on leadership influence and power based on a follower maturity level, versus a behavioral interaction and follower influence on the leader. What you will learn during this webinar is the use of a behavioral based leadership model that focused on the development and power-sharing relationship with organizational followers that is essentially a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship where the leader and follower grow and learn from each other where leaders learn to become Transformational Leaders and followers learn to become what is termed Exemplary Followers. This will not be an attempt to conduct a comparative study of various leadership styles.

The concepts behind Exemplary Followership and Transformational Leadership become essential in organizations that are focusing on becoming self-directed team based organizations. Unfortunately, organizations that bandy the team word around and say: We are going to be a team! Or We have a team based organization, when in reality; the teams are just miniature versions of the larger rigidly formal hierarchy of the larger organization. At that point, the team concept becomes a joke and sinks beneath the waves of failure. In order to successfully implement these concepts in your organization, major organizational cultural change will become necessary in order to adopt and integrate e

About the Book

“A healthy society maximizes the opportunities for each individual to achieve self-worth while minimizing the conflict that inevitably arises when people are at cross-purposes.”

The landscape of accommodation in the Canadian workplace is ever-changing. Due to the sensitive but crucial nature of this content, employers, HR managers, and legal practitioners, need to adapt effective best practices on how to best meet their duty to accommodate.

This book includes a free eBook and webinar hosted by Jamie Knight.  

Many questions arise from “grey areas” not addressed explicitly in the law, or are so current, they are not yet fully addressed in case law. This resource provides answers to these emerging accommodation questions, particularly addressing: 

• mental health,
• religion, 
• addiction, 
• family issues (elderly parents, ill family members), and 
• other groups commonly subjected to discrimination harassment or bullying based on sexual orientation, sexual identification, gender, age, etc. 

This book will focus on the expectations employers need to strive for when accommodating job applicants, employees and third parties. It addresses essential information on best practices, case law, uncertainties, and undue hardship. Also included is an expansive Q&A section, based on real experiences.

Ultimately, this publication will provide professionals with practical, on-point information so that they can move forward with confidence in terms of how to accom
