Job seekers increasingly want to work for a company whose mission and vision matches their personal values.

More and more people want real-time, easily accessible data on the health of their company culture. They want to empower executives by giving them access to people analytics and empower employees to gather feedback to inform learning and development.

Join this webinar and hear how a thriving organisation has embraced a culture of feedback for 2020 and beyond. You will also hear expert tips from a Culture Amp People Scientist before live Q&A. 

When it comes to people and culture, who is truly responsible for driving things like engagement and organisational culture?

We’ve heard an array of perspectives that generally sit in two camps of thought. Some believe that people and culture initiatives are the responsibility of leadership or HR. Others believe “the people make the place”. They feel that responsibility lies amongst individual employees to create the culture of the organisation.

Join this live-video webinar as we discuss this topic with Zopa and Moonpig.

Today there is only one thing that yields unique competitive advantage: the talent, innovation and resilience of an organisation’s people. An organisation’s ability to outperform often comes down to how quickly people can respond to continuous change and create opportunity.

Organisations need their people to be proactive, to innovate ahead of the curve, to make decisions in a smarter, empowered and efficient way. These are the traits of the agile organisations that consistently outperform globally. Yet today most organisations are struggling to make the leap, with only 6% of executives in a recent study reporting themselves to be highly agile.

Join us, The Storytellers and Marc Kaiser, Head of Corporate Communications & Investor Relations from
Baloise Group where we will explore questions, such as:

- Using people and culture data to determine focus areas for change
- How can leaders establish a positive narrative around change? The means to turn challenge into opportunity
- How to create a change ready mindset? Building the motivational bridge to unlock people performance
- How to spark a movement, not just a moment?

Diversity and Inclusion are not new concepts, but as we look to an increasingly intersectional future, many businesses are considering their approach and how they translate i into a competitive advantage.

Some Diversity and Inclusion strategies sound great but are harder, in reality, to implement and many just feel like 'checking the box'. This is a new field full of challenges, so embedding D&I in your culture's architecture early on will ensure your organisation has a diverse and inclusive culture as you grow.

This interactive webinar brings research, customer examples and industry experts together to look at ways Culture First organisations make D&I an important pillar in their organisational culture.

There’s a certain alchemy that happens on a small team: friendships are forged, trust is shored up, and communication feels incredibly organic. But as teams and organizations grow rapidly, that small-team culture and collaboration can easily fade.

While change is inevitable, disaster is not. During this one-hour live-video webinar with panelists from Sauce Labs, Chewse, and Choozle, we'll discuss how to avoid the pitfalls of hyper-growth and preserve that sense of small-team trust.

We’ll cover:
- How to set cultural norms and values for both tenured employees and new ones
- Programming and feedback collection that help build trust and collaboration
- Wins and fails from real teams

Meet the panelists:
Moderator: Damon Klotz, Work Culture Evangelist at Culture Amp
Panelists: Emma King, VP of People at Envoy
Diana Ecker-Jammi, PhD, Head of Global Talent Development at Sauce Labs
Emma Bindbeutel, Director of People Operations at Choozle
Joe Bast, VP of People & Operations at Chewse

January is the perfect time to implement a new organisational initiative, mantra or goal. Why not make 2020 the year you truly embrace ongoing feedback? 

When people receive continuous feedback - no matter their level of seniority at a company - they're able to develop and grow faster. 

Whether you're just exploring what it means to create an employee feedback strategy, looking to implement something new, or you've been collecting feedback for a while - this webinar will cover it all and allow time for Q&A with subject matter experts. 

HR and People strategies are always evolving. We’re far from the days of traditional annual surveys, and more companies are starting to embrace the idea of continuous listening strategy. Similar to building a culture of feedback, continuous listening means gathering feedback more often across the employee lifecycle.

Always listening to your employees often results in people feeling ignored. Here, we’ll explore the definition of continuous listening strategy, how it’s enabled by technology and in-person feedback, how companies have found success with frequent feedback and how you can get started.
