Disability Management is a Daunting Task - Right?

Data is not magic – it’s a set of facts that support decisions to help solve today’s most pressing people issues and strategies. Organizations who collect and understand people data better understand how employees think, learn and behave. Data is vital for decisions in hiring, onboarding, solving performance problems, developing high potential employees, training and any element of human capital management. Supplementing current knowledge and experience is an agile way to answer vital people questions.
In this presentation, we’ll show you how to better understand employee core behavior and abilities:
•Learn 6 key personality dimensions and how they influence job performance and fit.
•Apply data to perform your key role of workforce and people management expert.
•Gather people metrics and utilize it for hiring/onboarding, team engineering, culture and training.

Transparency of operations and advanced analytics provide a unique opportunity for HR professionals to position themselves as fact-based, strategic partners for businesses. HR departments can help retain key talent by using techniques and solutions to capture essential data, and to offer excellent service and self-service opportunities to employees based on that data. In this webinar from Efecte Plc with a keynote from McKinsey & Company, you will hear answers to the following questions:

–What is people analytics and what are the benefits that can be derived from it?
–When doing retention analysis, how to move from conducting in-depth but reactive exit interviews to analytics techniques that are predictive and more objective and quantitative?
–What McKinsey’s studies on retention reveal: Which factors are better predictors of unwanted attrition than the commonly intuitive things like individual’s performance rating or compensation?
–How can the service experience of employees be improved when interacting with HR?
–How can routine HR tasks be automated and work flow effortlessly in your HR department?

This presentation will demonstrate how to avoid common startup hiring mistakes within organizational talent and recruiting strategies.

Jerry will focus on how AI is facilitating #HRTech in talent acquisition and participants will learn what the key recruitment models that can be utilized.

About Jerry Grammont:
Pepsi, MTV, Hennessy, Bic, Toyota… these are just a few of the major companies Jerry has worked with; even to the extent of building and leading teams for their digital projects. For well over 10 years, he has excelled in the unique cross-section of marketing, design, and human resources all wrapped in technology. After moving on from these high-scale opportunities, Jerry went on to cofound Let’s Order Now, a food ordering service with a strong social direction. It was here where he further made use of his wide range of skills to get the startup off the ground and scaling. However, he was not able to truly build the perfect team, and so had to witness its end. After realizing once again the importance of a great team, Jerry and his wife founded EmployToy, with the purpose of helping others find great talent and build great teams.

We provide an introduction into how to leverage behavioural science to better understand not only the corporation’s stated values but also the lived values of employees. By assessing institutional and individuals values, we can ascribe a numeric “score” that measures the cultural alignment (and misalignment) within the workplace. As a result, HR professionals gain a tool for unbiased, values-based recruiting, as well as the data intelligence they need to retain a culturally-rich workforce.

Learn how quantifying individual values and corporate culture can benefit:
* HR Executives: Increasing employee engagement, retention & workgroup productivity
* Hiring Managers: Maximizing the pool of diverse candidates and positioning the company as a social impact leader
* Applicants & Employees: Delivering a personal understanding of cultural fit & opportunities for advancement

To begin, we talk about this data, every day, too. It’s a scale of sourcing that we, frankly, haven’t had the pleasure to do back when we were “internal corporate guys” in recruiting or TA.

In our LIVE webinar session we will speak to what we have learned from over 10,000 hours of Boolean search string development.​

Last year, the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report, best known for the annual Davos gatherings, added 47 years to the time necessary to reach workplace equality. According to the WEF, in 2017, gender parity ‘shifted into reverse” and it will take 217 YEARS for disparities in the pay and employment opportunities of men and women to end. It is the first time since 2006 that “slow but steady progress” toward parity has halted.

Join this interactive session to learn more about
- The factors that will help us close the gender pay gap
