Thursday, Oct. 29: A Missed Opportunity in DE&I Strategies: Utilizing Your Talent Management Solution

As movements like Black Lives Matter and MeToo continue to highlight ongoing racial and gender inequality, employers are grappling with how they can quickly react, and achieve cultural change around diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I). With employees and consumers demanding more from the companies they work for, DE&I must become a top priority for organizations across the globe. Join Cornerstone and Claude Werder, SVP and Principal HCM Analyst for Brandon Hall Group, for an eye-opening discussion about how your talent management technology can help narrow the gap between the intent of inclusion and diversity and the actual impact that initiatives are having now.

Wednesday, Nov 4: Tying Learning to Business Performance   

Organizations want learning to move the needle on business performance, but only about 40% say learning is aligned with business goals. How should organizations create a stronger link between learning and organizational performance? Please join Brandon Hall Group‘s Chief Strategy Officer and Principal HCM Analyst Michael Rochelle and Principal Learning Analyst David Wentworth along with CEO of Inkling Jeff Carr for an in-depth review of BHG’s latest research and frameworks for rethinking how learning can be the catalyst for breakthrough performance for individuals, teams and organizations. Register here.

Thursday, Nov 5: Learning Measurement 2021

2020 dramatically changed organizations’ approach to learning.

Join Brandon Hall Group Principal Learning Analyst David Wentworth as he examines the latest research, including results from a recent ROI in Learning survey (commissioned by SAP Litmos). He’ll discuss ideas for adjusting outdated measurement strategies, to meet the needs of the new normal for learning. Register here.

In this webinar, ActivTrak and Brandon Hall Group Senior VP and Principal HCM Analyst Claude Werder will share how leading-edge organizations balance performance and productivity with the flexibility and empathy needed to create a resilient, empowered workforce. Register here.
