Every day, we help HR and Talent professionals to work through their challenges in order to implement more effective performance practices. Our channel is here so that can you help you drive change.

COVID-19 seems to be here to stay, impacting every part of our lives, personally and professionally. The evidence shows we are entering a new, potentially permanent, era of ‘hybrid’ working – blending remote and office working. With it comes challenge and opportunity, benefit and risk.

 

During this webinar we covered 5 essential areas of consideration:

Objectives and Alignment
Collaboration and Accountability 
Engagement and Wellbeing 
Reward and Recognition
Performance Data

Managing performance in a hybrid working environment

Continuous Performance Management is the gold standard for improving productivity and developing and retaining your people. Not only is it super important right now as firms are trying to do more with less but it is key to making sure you thrive long term.

The legal sector and professional services has much to gain from getting performance management right as the talent you nurture is of high demand and also costly to replace. But there are some specific challenges that we have come across whilst working with firms. How do you handle matrix management structures? How do we make this a priority since this is outside of billable hours? What is the best way to ensure that feedback is constructive and timely?

In this webinar we will be covering the three essential pillars that make up continuous performance management and sharing all our legal sector specific tips and knowledge.

Three pillars of Continuous Performance Management: 

Check-ins
Objective Setting 
Feedback

Presenting the webinar is Stuart Hearn, CEO and Founder at Clear Review. Stuart has over 15 years of experience in HR, performance management and employee engagement. He’s joined by Emma Foote, Head of Customer Advocacy at Clear Review who will share insight into how customers and the wider legal and professional services sector benefit from continuous performance management.

This webinar is for HR professional in the legal and professional services sector who are looking to improve or change how they do performance management.

Making continuous performance management work for legal & professional services

Wellbeing. The word that is on everyone's lips right now. With a global pandemic under our belt and everyone's personal circumstances being tested, HR needs to ensure our people's wellbeing is being taken care of, but one thing stands in our way – managers.  

Managers can be both the champions of wellbeing and the blocker to supporting people. When managers are skeptical of new or different practices and expectations, one of two things will happen. They either run for the hills or they flourish. Having wellbeing conversations as part of regular check-ins with their team are a must. With 1 in 4 people suffering a mental health problem each year, it cannot be ignored by managers who simply don’t wish to include this as part of regular conversation.  

The biggest question of all is how, how do you get managers to fix-up and start having those wellbeing conversations? And how do you champion and utilize those who do? 

During this webinar we’ll explore: 
 
The importance of having manger – employee wellbeing conversations 
How can HR support line managers to have wellbeing conversations 
How to turn skeptical managers into advocates  
How can tech support wellbeing

From Zero to Hero – how to get your managers to support wellbeing

Test Ally

Modern Performance Management is an essential tool to increase productivity and engagement of your people at any time. But it really comes into it’s own when times are tough.

With the current economic climate, companies are having to reallocate resources, refocus priorities and move faster than ever. This can leave your people in a lurch, unclear on what their goals are, worried about their future and unable to focus and immerse themselves at work.

In this webinar, exploring a 5 step model that you can put in place to improve productivity and engagement. This is based on aligning your people, giving managers the tools they need to motivate and keep their teams productive and finally creating more visibility for both HR and Senior Management.

We are joined by Stuart Hearn, CEO of Clear Review (15+ years of in-house/ consultant HR and performance management experience). He will talk us through the 5-step model and how to put in place whether you are in HR or a Senior Leader.

Jamie Allam, CEO of Amthal Fire and Security will talk about his take on investing in people and why it’s more important now than ever to have senior leadership onboard when it comes to performance management.

Utilising performance management as a business recovery tool

Investing in your people has never been more important. As we fathom our way through the complexities of government guidance, health and safety regulations and how to ready our workplaces for those coming back to work, it’s critical we don’t forget what really matters—the people. Over the past few months our people have been pushed to their limits. We’ve asked people to do more with less, changed people’s working environments and had to balance work and life in a new way. 

The key to making sure our people continue to feel supported is by investing in their wellbeing and engagement. Together these two powerful aspects to your people’s working lives will make them more productive and performing in the long run. 

CEO Jamie Allam from Amthal Fire and Security has done just that. He’s been focusing on how he can invest in his people and support them through difficult times. During this webinar, we’ll hear from Jamie and Reece, one of his Commercial Team Managers, to explore:

Why investing in your people is critical right now 
How employee engagement and wellbeing play a vital role in keeping your people productive 
Why it's important as a senior leader to champion performance management 
The difference good performance management makes to manager/employee relationships

Campaign for Real Conversations: Onboarding

Every company has an employer brand. It might be intentional or not, and both can be positive or negative. However, during a crisis, especially widespread one your employer brand can take a real hit if you aren't intentional.

Everyone is trying to pitch their two cents in whether it's about tracking remote employees or how they are handling onboarding from a distance. 

In this webinar, we are bringing together branding, recruitment and HR to talk about how to be intentional and make sure that you are making the right communication and most importantly, people calls.

Some of the topics we will discuss: 
•	Why HR and Recruitment and Marketing need to come together
•	What comms considerations you should be making
•	How to tell positive stories and enable your team to be your evangelists
•	Study of a few brands that have both done well and poorly in the last few months

Unprecedented times, in less than a month many businesses have had to effect significant structural changes to their employee base – (e.g. transforming their workforce to be home based, putting staff on extended periods of unpaid leave, furloughing or laying off staff, or recruiting huge numbers of new employees in the health sector or food retail.) In previous economic downturns we have seen these changes before, but this time the pace at which change is happening that is exceptional. 
 
How should you be managing employee performance and reward – two pillars of the EVP – against the background of the COVID-19 cataclysm? In this webinar we will address:
 
How to balance the duty of care to employees while also managing the business.
Ensure employee wellbeing whilst maintaining productivity – balancing managing employee performance remotely, with check ins.

Managing performance and reward in the COVID-19 Cataclysm

Working from home isn’t new for all of us: for some, this is a permanent way of working which has both benefits and challenges, but for others this is totally new. In the current COVID-19 climate, working from home has taken on an entirely new dimension. There is more pressure to perform, we are working harder with less and there is the added fear of getting sick.

We’ve pulled together wellbeing experts from a cross-section of organisations to offer up some solid strategies for looking after yourself in these difficult and strange times. We are joined by James Routledge, Founder and CEO, Sanctus, Emma Mamo, Head of Workplace Wellbeing, Mind, Natasha Wallace, Founder and Chief Coach at Conscious Works and Clear Review’s Chief Consciousness Officer (Head of Wellbeing); Beth Samson, OD and People Advisor, Investors in People and Sean Ruane, Clear Review’s Director of Customer Success, to discuss whether we are really looking after our wellbeing while working from home.

During this webinar we are going to explore:

• What looking after your wellbeing really means.
• How the current COVID-19 crisis is impacting both physical and mental health.
• Realistic strategies for protecting your wellbeing while working remotely.

Are you really looking after your wellbeing while working from home?

Join Rob Baker, founder of Tailored Thinking and Amira Kohler, Head of Performance and Change Expertise at Clear Review, as they explore the benefits and possibilities of job crafting and how it links to innovation, creativity, performance and engagement.

Making work personal: How job crafting boosts performance

Meaningful conversations between managers and their employees is key to high performance and to drive organisational change. 

Conversations about wellbeing, career progression as well as regular check-ins are essential in ensuring your employees are motivated and feel valued.  But often, managers need support in understanding what a good conversation entails, what should be discussed and how often you should have one.

In this webinar, we will be joined by Clear Review’s inhouse experts, Amira Kohler, Head of Performance and Change Expertise, Natasha Wallace, Chief Consciousness Officer and Wellbeing Coach and Stuart Hearn, CEO. They will be discussing:
·     5 critical conversations managers should have with their employees
·     When you should have these conversations
·     What the conversations should be about
·     Why it’s important to have these conversations
·     The risks of not having conversations
·     How tech can support you with having more meaningful conversations

5 critical conversations for high performance

Engagement is a performance problem. The answer could transform your organization.

Economies may be growing but our productivity (and our engagement) is not keeping pace. It doesn't matter how many yoga classes you put on or how much free fruit you supply: tinkering at the edges won’t get people engaging with their jobs. 

Discover new ways of measuring, tracking and acting on employee engagement. We’ll offer insights into how your people feel about their jobs; talk about how to support and develop energy, purpose and immersion; and explain why engaged employees offer more in terms of productivity and profitability. Backed by the latest psychological thinking and with metrics designed to help you get the most from your people, this is employee engagement designed with a clear focus on performance, both from a task and a team perspective. 

Join us and unpick the connection between good performance management and effective, business-focused employee engagement. We’ll share the metrics that link the two, discuss the tech that supports them and reveal where the ultimate responsibility for this lies. We’ll discuss the research that underpins our thinking, and explain why workplace engagement, more than any other single factor, is the best predictor of sustainable performance. 

Stuart Hearn is the founder and CEO of Clear Review, the UK’s fastest-growing performance management and employee engagement software business. Ian MacRae is a workplace psychologist and the managing director of High Performance Psychology. They’ll be sharing their insights and research and answering questions on the new state of employee engagement and how employers can use this essential metric to create high-performing individuals and teams in the 21st century workplace.
