A coaching style of management is a leadership approach that focuses on developing employees’ skills and abilities, unlocking self-limiting beliefs though powerful questions, and through regular feedback, support and guidance. It involves asking questions, active listening, and providing support and encouragement to help employees achieve their goals along with enabling a culture of high performance, collaboration, empowerment and fulfilment. This management style comes with many benefits such as:
- Improved performance.
- Increased engagement.
- Better communication.
- Increased job satisfaction.
- Improved retention.
- Better teamwork.
- Increased innovation.

However, leading with a coaching style can also face some challenges in a hybrid or remote work environment, such as:
- Lack of face-to-face interaction.
- Difficulty in building trust and rapport.
- Isolation and disconnection.
- Distractions and interruptions.
- Health and well-being issues.

In this presentation, learn how to overcome these challenges and leverage the benefits of a coaching style of management. Attendees will learn tips and strategies of how to implement a coaching style of management such as:
- Examining the existing culture within the organisation.

- Using technology to facilitate communication and collaboration.
- Fostering a culture of learning and development.
- Enhancing HR’s strategic role who can best contribute to company success in leading out on this initiative.
- Using the GROW model (Goal, Reality, Options, Will) as one of the top coaching models for leaders.

By attending this presentation, you will gain knowledge on how to improve your leadership skills and lead your hybrid or remote team with confidence and impact, helping you to create a more engaged, motivated and productive team.

A coaching style of management in a remote or hybrid working environment

Teams thrive best when led by positive leaders.

The styles that were relevant in previous decades are no longer effective. The leadership evolution is real.

This webinar, presented by CEO Michelle Beauchamp, will equip those who lead others with the tools to demonstrate that they care. Of course, productivity and deadlines are as important as ever. Leaders can still use their power but not for control. Rather, when power skills are used correctly, morale increases, relationships grow, and the team feels empowered.

Participants who attend this session will:
- Understand the difference between “soft skills” and “hard skills.” 
- Recognize why “soft skills” are now referenced as “power skills.”
- Enrich communication skills (speaking and listening ) to build rapport with the team.
- Identify how to influence others and navigate to improve results.

The Neuroscience of People Management in a Hybrid World

"Phone a friend." In the old game show, that was a way to get help on a tricky question. Today, we don't have to just rely on that to find new talent. Based on a brand-new research study, we'll dive into the hiring trends affecting employers as well as their plans to leverage technology. In addition to the technology component, we'll examine why and when employers plan to add recruiting headcount instead of technology and vice versa. This session will be a practical look at the intersection of your talent team and your talent technology stack -- so don't miss out!

New Data On 1000+ Employers: Hiring Technologies They Plan to Buy This Year

Let’s face it, the world of recruitment is changing rapidly. Cutting edge technology, cautious candidates in a post-pandemic world, and the ever-growing need to demonstrate diversity and inclusion within your organization are requiring recruiters to adapt. This agility will be necessary for talent teams to ensure that we are creating and implementing the best recruiting strategies possible, both for candidates and the organization. 

Join Jason Yi (Choco), Hannah Liberman (CB4), Melissa Rokaitis (Wayfair), Kameron Norton (Loadsmart) and Danielle Bergere (Aircall), in a panel discussion moderated by Gita Selli (Loadsmart) covering these key topics that are on everyone in the talent world’s minds. 

We’ll cover: 
Hyper personalization: Tailor your approach to cut out the recruiter noise Candidate experience: Communication is even more important post covid Employer branding: The trends that attract the best talent

Hiring in the Volatile and Cutthroat Post Pandemic World

During this session, Humantelligence CEO Juan Betancourt will discuss strategies for how to hire more effectively, using a psychometric-based framework that goes beyond traditional personality, skills, or knowledge-based assessments. With the Behaviors-Motivators-Work Energizers (B-M-W) framework, you can streamline your recruitment and interviewing process, build teams against a target culture that better align to company changes or remote work environments, and make the kind of hires that support increased diversity of thought.

When you attend, you’ll gain insight into how to:

-Assess candidates based on a total picture of one’s behaviors, motivators, and ideal work styles.
-Eliminate subjectivity by tracking candidates against target profiles and using interview guides  so you can add to, fill gaps, and ensure diversity of thinking on your teams. 
-Deliver high quality candidates by comparing to existing predictive performance success metrics.
-Improve productivity of teams through better hires.
-Streamline your recruiting process by 80% so you don’t lose out on qualified candidates.

Using Psychometrics to Hire Better

We know the labor supply is at a critical level. WE CAN'T HIRE ANYONE. Not only can't we find people...but, they often lack the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience. Unlike previous cycles, we cannot simply "wait it out." There is no pool to fall back on. An aging workforce plus lower birthrates, low immigration, an exodus of parents due to unaffordable or unavailable daycare, explosive growth in the gig workforce, and other factors decimated the available number of people available. The push for 4-year colleges drove students out of the trades; the pandemic has an unmeasurable long-term negative impact on student learning, and a significant decline in interpersonal skills, learning capability, problem-solving, and basic working capabilities makes it impossible for many employers to hire available labor without significant upskilling and retraining. 

There is no quick fix to the problem we are facing today across all industries, but HR plays a critical role. Automation saves time for themselves, managers, executives, and employees and so HR can focus on the things that matter most. 

During this session, participants will:
•            Show how automation can streamline HR functions and expedite time to hire, quality of hire, time to proficiency, and performance. 
•            Consider the need for automation and where HR can implement it to optimize impact throughout the organization. 
•            Identify best practices to begin the automation process. 
•            Evaluate the automation process. 
•            Walkthrough steps to select the best system to match the process.
•            Consider appropriate success metrics to decide upon systems, build implementation models, and create accountabilities for success.
•            Learn how to incorporate program evaluations and accountability structures to achieve success. 
•            Have fun!!

How HR Automation Can Help Solve the Talent Supply Crisis

As HR leaders work to manage remote work, they are increasingly investing in tech that enables them to do more. PwC has proof that HR tech is delivering, with particularly big benefits from the cloud. However, HR leaders can still do better to encourage tech adoption, choosing the right vendor and gaining leadership buy-in for cutting-edge tech. 

Summit attendees will learn how HR leaders can better encourage tech adoptions and how tech can enable your HR functions to achieve its full value. In this talk, Dan will explore the notions of tracking employees' productivity and performance and how likely organizations are to switch HR technology vendors at the end of subscription terms. The themes covered will stem from PwC's recent HR Technology survey findings, which we fielded to understand trends in HR tech and transformation, surveying US HR professionals such as middle managers and above, working in HR or in an IT department supporting HR.

Five Ways HR Leaders Can Make the Most of Their Technology Investments

Human resources professionals have experienced unprecedented changes in the last few years. Faced with an abruptly remote workforce, expectations to improve diversity, emphasis on employee experience, and the tumult of the Great Resignation, HR teams have adopted a variety technologies to help manage their challenges. As workplaces continue to evolve, technology will prove to be even more important for facilitating core HR operations, recruitment, employee wellness, training programs and more.

This panel of HR technology experts will discuss the hot technologies transforming the field, including artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, blockchain, and robotic process automation.

Join us to hear learn how:

-- AI and VR can accelerate the recruitment and hiring process

Technology Brings HR to a New Level

HR teams on the non-stop quest for more time for value-add activities like talent acquisition, strategic planning and improving the employee experience can reap both time and cost savings with automation.

- The benefits of HR automation and how to plan for it.
- Key HR functions where automation can immediately save time and money.
- Why technology creates an enhanced people-centric experience (really!).

HR Automation: Moving from Tedious to Transformative
