“They weren’t quite sure what to do with it.”

“I told them what I had done wrong, what I was thinking that led to my reaction, and how I will do it differently in the future.”

Her team was stunned.

Is this the same boss?

They were stunned because, until recently, Cheryl was not the most respectful, people-oriented boss.

by Anwar Brooks, Mid-America Apartment Communities, Employee Relations Manager
March 9th @ 2:00 p.m. ET

 

Hiring top performers is vital to driving a business forward and every talent acquisition professional is passionate about finding those top hires and bringing them onboard. Metrics play a huge part in how we quantify success but measuring quality of hire can be elusive. While there are plenty of metrics that talk about time to hire or cost per hire do they focus recruiters too closely on the process of filling a requirement at the expense of measuring the outcome for the business?

In this webinar we’ll take a look at some key issues around measuring quality of hire, dispel some myths around the metrics that we commonly use, and focus on how to create quality of hire metrics that are more relevant to the business.

We’ll cover the reasons behind turn-over and how to identify what’s causing turn over at your company and the speaker will offer some practical tips for pre- and post-hire strategies to improve quality of hire that you can put into effect today.

Join our free webinar on Wednesday, March 9 for expert insight into the usefulness of metrics and strategies that really move the needle on quality of hire.

Our speaker, Anwar Brooks, will share his deep expertise in developing and managing talent acquisition programs and analyzing quality of hire metrics.

by Colleen McManus, Arizona Department of Corrections, CHRO
March 10th @ 2:00 p.m. ET

 

All businesses need reliable workforce management, accurate forecasting, and rapid fulfillment of critical staffing needs. HR’s responsibility is to ensure that staffing aligns with the business strategy and goals. Unless the HR team understands the strategy and knows how to position HR to best support business goals, the team won’t be able to provide full value for the business.

 

In this webinar, we’ll discuss the strategic role and responsibilities of the HR function and take a look at proven best practices that help align HR programs and strategies with the business as a whole.

 

In particular, we’ll focus on:

  • Getting (and keeping!) a seat at the table
  • Ensuring the HR role is value-added
  • Data-driven deliverables and decision-making
  • Envisioning and strategically planning for the future

Join our free webinar on Thursday, March 10 for expert insight into how HR can become more of a strategic partner and add value where the business needs it most.


Our speaker, Colleen J. McManus, will share her expertise as a leader providing direction for the HR function.

Who should attend? If you’re interested in practical insights and learning how to improve the strategic value of your HR team, join us on Thursday, March 10.
