This BrightTALK Channel features useful content for human resources professionals.  Presentations will cover employment and labor law, emerging media trends, training, onboarding, and employee engagement.

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

"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

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.

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. There are game-changing opportunities available across HR functions when HR teams focus on both efficiency and systems optimization. In this session we’ll discuss:
- The benefits of HR automation and how to plan for it.

- Why technology creates an enhanced people-centric experience (really!).

HR Automation: Moving from Tedious to Transformative

The focus on cultivating a work environment that is built around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) has never been more prevalent – with 79% of businesses planning to allocate more budget and resources to DEI in 2022 (WBR Insights, 2021).
But true cultural change doesn’t happen overnight – so how do businesses ensure that they are putting sustainable programmes in place that will stand the test of time and become fully embedded within an organisation’s values?

Join us on 9th March to hear Julia Steinecker, Director of Talent Management at Precisely, as she reveals five achievable steps for any business seeking to build long-term success for their DEI initiatives – regardless of company size or budgets.

Julia will also be discussing Precisely’s own DEI journey so far, including how the company recently raised the bar for women in tech with a programme that resulted in 62% of new women hires, as well as a look forwards to Precisely’s commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in 2022 and beyond.

Recommit to Your People First, and Create an Inclusive Culture

In the near future, we could be overrun by racist, sexist, homophobic robots.

While that may sound like science fiction, it could be closer than we think due to an alarming lack of inclusivity in technology design and development today. The current exponential pace of technology innovation demands that those with the power to combat bias in tech take action now, to build not only better innovation but ones that are more inclusive for everyone. Once bias is embedded in tech, you’ll never get it out. The question is, how?

The answer: Start at the source. Technology is designed and built by people and - consciously or not - people have biases that can creep into the work they are doing. By implementing inclusive product design and development hiring practices and looking to more diverse groups within your organization for innovation you will end up with a better product that is relevant to a more diverse, global group of people. At Cisco for example, close to half of its staff belong to employee resource organizations, which represent different diverse employee groups within the company - it actively looks to these groups for innovation.

Join Wayne Cuervo, Lead for Global Innovation for Cisco’s Innovation Labs, for a timely and important discussion on the critical role that inclusivity plays in technology innovation, product design and development.

The Imperative for Inclusive Innovation

In this webinar, we’ll debunk the top excuses used to keep women, people of color, and other minority groups out of leadership, and discuss how an organization can set itself apart from the crowd by taking action to address under-representation. 
 
Participants will learn:
- How unconscious bias and outdated stereotypes permeate the workplace
- Why prioritizing diversity will give your organization a competitive edge
- What you can achieve by developing inclusive hiring practices
- How leaders can strengthen their inclusion and allyship skills for change

No more excuses: Debunk the Top 10 Excuses for Not Doing DEI

I will provide the timeline which will throw some light on the inception of the ideology ED&I  affirmative actions. I  EDI work undertaken in NHS and engage the participants to delve deeper to understand the essence of equality and inclusion.

• Understanding of Diversity and then design affirmative actions
• Why does unconscious bias exist despite so much of work around ED&I
• A sample model to assess the dimensions of diversity at workplace

Sustain equity of practices or perspectives at workplace?

In short, an inclusive organisation is one that will flourish.
Something I find deeply disappointing is how many SLTs brush D&I aside saying “we haven’t got the time; we must focus on operations and commercial areas to achieve our strategic goals”. Not being able to see the strategic leverage of D&I is strategic myopia. D&I are organisation-wide experiences, organisations are emersed in them, whether actively engaging in them or not. Ignore them and people will notice. Why? Because stakeholders expect contemporary organizations to reflect people diversity and respond to the potential of a diverse workforce community. D&I are not optional and the legal framework that underpins Diversity and Equality essentially provides a floor upon which beyond practice can be nurtured and enhanced.

Key to the D&I relationship is that a diverse workforce does not mean an inclusive workforce. Equally, an inclusive workforce does not mean a diverse workforce. For organizations to benefit we need mutual inclusivity, a strong overlap between the two. Nor can we ignore equity which is much more likely to be experienced if inclusion is practiced and felt. Here is the crux of inclusion within the workplace – or anywhere else. You cannot tell someone that they are included, you cannot simply tell people what you have done to enable people to be included, inclusion is a feeling, it is linked to emotional responses that experience triggers. Inclusion and being inclusive have to be supported and underpinned by behaviours that encourage people to feel valued and recognised. Telling people that you are inclusive will simply raise expectations and needs. Violating those expectations will frustrate needs and lead to negative feelings and loss of engagement.

I will explore the emersion of DREAM into organisations. 
- Data analytics
- Raising awareness and acceptance
- Encouraging and engaging others
- Aspiring to improve and challenge
- Merging, monitoring and embedding positive techniques

It’s not what you do it’s the way people feel!

Over half of UK senior business leaders surveyed said their diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy only pays lip service to supporting talent from underrepresented groups. Not only that, they also believe that their strategies don’t provide any helpful support in practice (Source KellyOCG). So even though we have seen companies rapidly creating various types of diversity strategies and programmes, there is a lack of follow through to ensure their effectiveness.

The last couple of years have seen a large number of leaders and companies openly state their commitment to Diversity and Inclusion initiatives. These strategies, on the surface at least, seem to understand the benefits of increasing diversity and promote inclusion across their businesses, as well as their duty to do so. However, research seems to show us that despite large swathes of enthusiasm, progress in this area is slow. Why are we not seeing the progress that we would expect?

Join this webcast to explore:

- Common reasons why DEI programmes fizzle out over time
- How to set DEI strategies up for success 
- What factors need to be addressed in order to maintain the momentum needed to create real change

The Neuroscience of People Management in a Hybrid 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 have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the way the world works, how work gets done, and how we measure success. Yet, we are faced with the great resignation, the biggest talent war in our history, shifting to a hybrid workplace, and new disruption every day.

Many companies are still trying to apply outdated instinct-driven approaches to how they design their organizations, hire, inspire and retain their best people. What if there was a data and science-driven way to ensure your organization is ready for the “new world of work.”

In this session, you’ll learn:

1.       Why does using instincts and “hope” to manage your talent no longer work today?

2.       How to use a data-based approach to Talent Optimization Strategy to improve your results.

3.       How to become a strategic HR business partner by leveraging data and science to how you design your organization.

4.       How to hire the right people and put them in the right roles using digital tools
