It’s not easy to manage a team in a hybrid work environment. When leaders recognize the impact of hybrid work on team dynamics, they are more equipped to support the psychological safety of all employees. IBIS’s Instructor Lead Training serves as an insightful and powerful modality to help leaders practice key skills needed to create an inclusive culture in a hybrid environment. The authentic DEI stories will enable learners to embrace differing realities and perspectives. Participants will start to recognize how their behavior affects others –and learn to develop actions that impact their spheres of influence.

In this unique and dynamic session, IBIS Consulting Group will share and unpack a video scenario that helps participants find answers to these questions through the portrayal of workplace interactions that regularly occur within hybrid organizations. The scenarios serve as starting points for interactive discussion on inclusive leadership as we navigate a new way of working. The real-life scenarios illustrate the responsibility of leaders to address hybrid workplace challenge

You will learn how to: 
Define Inclusive Leadership and outline your role & responsibilities as a leader in a hybrid environment

Inclusive Leadership in a Hybrid Environment

Embrace change and challenge the status quo to drive real transformation.

Winning innovators embrace change - do you? What holds you and your organization back from better innovating, every day? Too often we’re stuck in the land of the status quo. We’ve forgotten how to think differently, and lack the simple tools to solve problems creatively. The very structures put in place inside organizations to help them grow, all too often hold them back. This keynote is an inspirational call to arms: to start a revolution in how we think and work. If you want people to approach change differently, you have to help them change their approach.

Are You Ready? 3 Key Trends Shaping Learning in the Coming Year

Going micro is more than just delivering bite-sized content. There are many different use cases and they meet learner needs in different ways. This creates a challenge for us to identify the best design practices and implementation methods. When we understand HOW we are meeting the learner’s needs, we deliver microlearning that has value for the learner and the organization.

Is Your Microlearning Strategy Learner-centric? (And Why it Should Be!)

Women are leaving organizations at alarming levels, there are several reasons for the departure one of which is the lack of inclusion.  They are rethinking going back to an environment in which wasn’t meeting their needs.

W.I.S.E. Up: Women, Inclusion, and Self-Empowerment

OH YES! I hear and answer these questions almost every day. Some questions are basic, others are difficult. But most come from the same root causes. As the saying goes, “The ship has sailed without them”. A lot has changed in Learning and Development philosophy and principles, but many continue to ask old questions.  More often,  the cause is that many who asked these questions have not changed their assumptions. However, the consequences of not finding answers to the thorniest questions and applying the solutions impede learners’ ability to learn, contribute, and have passion in what they do. Unanswered questions damage our capacity to design, develop, and implement training and learning. 
 
In the webinar, I will share with you some foundational answers to these questions. I will also share with you the “Perpetual Tinkerer Model” which helped me aid clients and learners find new answers to challenging questions. 
 
We will discuss and share insights into the following thorniest questions.  
“What if they don’t know what they don’t know?”
“I have to spoon feed my learners.”
“My SME (subject matter expert) wants ALL content to be covered.”
“My LMS is as old as my grandmother.”
“Learners don’t want to do pre and post-work?”
“They don’t answer chat questions.”
“They are silent, shy, not participating, and really dud learners.”
“We must always test people.”
“I don’t know if my learners are learning.”
“Our technology is so behind. We still use Excel to report tracking, telephone conference calls for training, and paper and pencil in our exercises. No ZOOM, no LMS, etc., etc.”

Answers to 10 Thorniest Questions in Learning and Training

The Great Resignation isn’t slowing down. In fact, a record 4.5 million employees left their jobs in March alone and cited burnout as the leading cause*.

The Great Resignation? More Like the Great Reprioritization

Unproductive meetings, endless emails, and reports-for-the-sake-of-reporting aren’t the definition of meaningful work—they’re the result of complexity. Complexity is killing companies’ ability to innovate and adapt, and simplicity is fast becoming the competitive advantage of our time. 

With the rise of remote and hybrid roles, employees are turning to meetings and emails to feel connected and ensure clear communication. Now is the time to eliminate this complexity so your organization can become more productive, efficient, and innovative and gain competitive advantage in the marketplace. 

In this webinar, CEO and TED-talk veteran Lisa Bodell will discuss techniques to eradicate complexity and get back to meaningful work that drives innovative change. Lisa will share how leaders can create a culture where valuable, essential, meaningful work is the norm. Get the techniques used by the nimblest of companies to save time, kill rules, and boost productivity on the work that matters. By killing complexity, you’ll increase customer trust, staff retention, and innovate faster.

In this webinar, Lisa will discuss:
- Why simplification is the competitive advantage of our time
- How to recognize which activities are time-sucks and which create lasting value
- Practical and effective tools that enable employees to make simplification a habit
- 6 steps leaders can take to “set the tone” for simplicity

Killing Complexity – Why Simple Wins

As the world continues to accelerate and change in the face of huge environmental, technological and cultural shifts, the need for upskilling and reskilling has grown in importance. No one can stand still in their existing roles, and changes in the world of work and how we work mean that we all need to be learning if we want to survive.

So what should L&D teams be thinking about as they look to support the growth of skills in their organisation? What works and what are the implications of upskilling and reskilling for learning strategy, learning solutions and content choices? And what really helps people to succeed as they forge new careers or take advantage of emerging roles at work?

In this webinar, David Perring, Director of Research at Fosway Group and Mehdi Tounsi, Senior Regional Director EMEA at OpenSesame, will explore: 
- Why upskilling and reskilling is so important in today’s economy
- Where organisations are today and what’s changing in how organisations upskill and reskill their people
- How innovative approaches to upskilling and reskilling are impacting organisations’ ability to energise, retain and attract great people
- How L&D can optimise ‘learning through work’ to deliver more agile upskilling and reskilling

Learning for Upskilling and Reskilling: A Survival Guide

Employers are fighting to keep their employees happy and healthy, but are they doing the same for themselves? 
Managing the day-to-day challenges of a remote workforce, while watching your best employees leave, is a recipe for stress and anxiety. As a leader, you feel the responsibility to serve, support with positivity, and have answers to all uncertainties. Contrary to popular belief, the stress in leadership is often highly addictive, so much so that leaders fail to understand they’re even experiencing it. But even if your mind refuses to acknowledge it, your body at some point does. 

In this webinar, Amplify Voices Award-Winning Chief Content Officer Audrey Cavenecia will talk about experiencing high levels of unidentified stress herself, how it changed her perspective of work and life, and how it taught her to feel her inner self more. She will walk you through various examples and experiments to teach you the good and bad aspects of stress and how to train your mind to handle it the way it should.

Burnout In Leadership: What It Does and How To Avoid It

Join this masterclass webinar with L&D expert, Chairman of the Learning and Performance Institute Donald H. Taylor, for a deep dive into the results of this year’s Global Sentiment Survey.

The 2022 L&D Global Sentiment Survey asked the global HR and L&D community – “What will be hot in workplace learning in 2022?”

During this webinar, Donald will identify this year’s digital learning trends and what they mean for the future of workplace learning. Donald explains how these trends differ from region to region, which “hot topics” from the previous year are cooling down, and how the pandemic has impacted the trends we see within the L&D industry.

3 Key L&D Trends of 2022 and the 1 Pitfall to Avoid

Employee onboarding may have changed locations, now occurring at home or in a remote environment, but the core purpose - to set employees up for success by driving employee engagement, productivity and feeling connected - has not changed.

This webinar will explore current and future onboarding practices and their impact on talent and organizational development. Join Cliff Stevenson, Principal Analyst, Talent Acquisition of Brandon Hall Group and Ashley Brown, Senior Customer Success Manager of OpenSesame, as they discuss the importance of leveraging a strategic onboarding plan, including supporting technology. A few of the benefits of such an onboarding plan include:
 
• Aligning employee thinking with a company’s mission and vision so they feel connected to each other and to the organization regardless of location
• Preparing employees with the right skills for their current role, and equip them to grow within the organization
• Delivering advanced analytics and more robust employee experience

Brandon Hall Group research has shown that the highest-performing organizations have onboarding strategies that are streamlined, uniform in process but specific to their role, include learning solutions that allow audiences to engage in many different formats, and have clear operational goals attached to best practices. More than that, these organizations understand the social, collaborative, and empathetic nature of people, who want to feel connected and not simply counted as productivity units. 
 
• Learn best practices from your peers, as we spotlight real-life enterprise onboarding case studies                 
• Understand how to develop an optimized onboarding process (not just technology or “programs”)
• Explain the reasoning behind better processes, how to create communities, and how to define and measure success in onboarding
• Create onboarding activities that are relevant to new hires in 2022 and beyond

Onboarding in 2022: What has Changed, and What Remains Critically Important

As learning professionals, we know that building a learning and development program does not end as soon as course content and learning materials are simply purchased and delivered. One of the biggest challenges can be the marketing and promoting a learning program to engage learners and increase consumption of content and gain the benefits of your L&D program. Timely communications along with content variety, relevance and accessibility have all been proven techniques to increase initial participation in your training program. But we too often see learner engagement surge during the launch of a company’s training program, only to taper off in later months.

Join OpenSesame for a webinar on why you need and how to plan a full year of internal marketing communications to not just GET your learners engaged, but KEEP them engaged.
