Overview: Call it a Performance Management Revolution or the end to annual reviews, organizations are transforming their performance management programs to allow for increased opportunities for feedback. Feedback-driven models (often referred to a continuous feedback) encourage people managers and their teams to participate in ongoing conversations about both performance and growth opportunities. However, a continuous feedback model falls short without establishing and intentionally building a culture of trust.

Tune into this episode to understand how to: - develop a culture of feedback that increases your organizational capacity to deliver on your mission; - provide increased opportunities for bi-directional feedback in support of employee engagement and development; and - boost career development conversations as part of your workplace culture.

Overview: Employer branding may not seem like a big deal for associations, but it is! It helps all types of organizations showcase intentional cultures and inclusive workplaces, which enables authentic communication for why they are an employer of choice. This is no small feat, but it reaps huge rewards. Employer branding is an incredibly underutilized aspect of overall branding and corporate communications, and the two departments that can immediately tackle this commonly missed opportunity are Marketing and Human Resources! Together, these two teams of professionals can power the stories and experiences of your people, adding value to your talent attraction, engagement and retention programs, and ultimately your strategic objectives.

Learning Objectives Include: - Defining employer branding and how it fits into an association's overall brand (with an association case study example) - Initiating conversations between Marketing and Human Resources to collaborate, build and maintain a successful employer brand, adding this to your teams' playbooks - Engaging your talent to help create your Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and tell your brand story - Integrating your employer brand and organizational core values across your talent management practices - Leveraging employer branding during times of change and uncertainty, like the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure your organization attracts, engages, and retains high-performing talent to effectively deliver on your mission

Overview: The need to shift to working from home came without notice for many organizations. This unpredictable turn led many employers to pivot to a virtual workforce at the start of the pandemic, and most that shifted are still managing a virtual or hybrid workforce. From higher productivity to increased work-life integration, some organizations have reaped positive outcomes in spite of this unplanned shift. However, others are struggling with issues such as inadequate technology solutions, lower staff engagement and morale as well as the impacts of social isolation and distractions at home. In this panel discussion, leaders will be given solutions that have worked for other organizations that have championed this shift to a virtual environment.

Listen in and hear considerations as well as positives for organizations deciding whether or not to go 100% permanently virtual.

Highlights:

- develop effective plans and engagement for virtual operations long term while enhancing the virtual working experience - create a virtual workforce that offers far-reaching and positive effects on operations, talent attraction and employee morale - prepare your leaders to operate their organizations during a shift to a virtual and develop strategies to re-integrate remote workers when there may be a shift back to workspace
