Goodbye HR, Hello People

Workforce planning is one of the most important HR-related activities as it sets the agenda for how a company organises it’s people. 

Often its an activity driven by a "headcount number", rather than on the challenge of how that “number” aligns to particular roles, skills and individual people. 

The responsibility to make this happen is placed squarely on HR, along with the accountability to both find these people and to accurately predict how long it will take to get them on board, so that the business is appropriately prepared. This is the reality of true Workforce Planning – and it’s a lot more than a mere spreadsheet exercise. 

Join this new webinar, with experts from Visier, to see how Workforce Planning can be approached to give a holistic view, which models the organisation and takes into account the complexities faced by HR teams, enabling them to generate robust and practical workforce plans.

An organisation's success or failure is dependent on its people, and to get the very best out of your people you need to deliver a great Employee Experience. 

Join this new webinar, with the experts at Personal Group, to find out what this means for your organisation, where you are on the Employee Experience curve and how to improve. 

The webinar will explore; 

• What the Employee Experience is and why it matters 
• How this affects business performance
• How to benchmark your current Employee Experience 
• Practical steps to measure and improve your own Employee Experience

Despite the traditional annual appraisal model being universally panned as outdated and ineffective by the HR & Talent community - many mid to large size organisations are still struggling with making the step to a modern and employee-centric performance approach.

In this webinar we are joined by thought-leader Lucy Adams, CEO of Disruptive HR and ex HR Director of the BBC, who has spoken passionately about this subject for years, boldly declaring: “I want to rid the world of annual appraisals. I want to see an end to this soul-sucking, energy-draining, life-reducing process.”

This session is not about beating up on an already defeated model. It’s about crystallising a way forward that HR leaders can take hold of in order to drive tangible steps forward on their journey towards sunsetting the dreaded annual performance review.

In this webinar we’ll explore:

• The power of simplicity. Simple model. Simple language. Simple tech.
• Adult to Adult HR, Management, Employee relationship dynamics
• Post-appraisal management of pay and reward
• Facilitating a culture of regular developmental conversations and frequent feedback

Before a Q&A session, we’ll also be joined by Stuart Hearn, former HR Director of Sony Music and CEO of performance technology provider Clear Review who have successfully helped nearly 150 organisations ditch annual appraisals by implementing a model of real-time feedback, agile goals and ongoing developmental conversations.

Whilst this new employment landscape presents numerous challenges, it also provides opportunities.
