Video is a unique beast. It’s more engaging than a training manual, but it’s a pain to record and produce. It helps you scale your training worldwide, but it can bog down your network. It’s a great solution for mobile learning, except when it’s incompatible with employees’ devices. And it’s ideal for just-in-time learning, if only it could be effectively searched.

In this webcast, you’ll learn how advances in video technology are helping learning and development teams overcome the five biggest challenges of video learning. We will discuss:

  • The limitations of traditional learning and content management systems in managing video content.

  • Video capture and management technologies that help talent development professionals overcome traditional challenges of working with video.

Accomplishing your near- and long-term business objectives can be a substantial challenge for any organization today.

Thursday, June 2, 2016, 10AM – 11AM PST: How to Find Stories to Ignite eLearning

Most designers, trainers, and leaders are so accustomed to producing highly antiseptic lessons—clean, organized and controlled. However, this kills the fun and relevance of the lessons.

Topics covered:

  • What type of stories work to support your content?

  • How do you find these stories that heighten the value of the your content?

Wednesday, June 8, 2016, 10AM – 11AM PST: Pulling Learners to Your Content: How to Make It Work

While formal “push” training is often best for when people are learning something new, and for when things change, a strong argument can be made that “pull” learning lends itself to the following moments of need:

  • When learners need to build on concepts that they learned in a more formal training environment.

  • When they need to apply what they’ve learned.

  • When things go wrong.

We need to anticipate these moments of need, and embed accessible content so workers can constantly learn when it is most appropriate for them. To be discussed:

  • How do we design pull learning for specific learning environments? Specifically, how is the pull learning environment impacted when working at your desk as opposed to learning on-the-go?

  • When are microlearning technique most appropriate, and how to format like video, infographics, and short e-learning modules support different situations and moments of need?

  • What role do social collaborative technologies play in a pull learning environment, and when should we encourage informal collaborative learning?

Thursday, June 9, 2016, 6AM – 7AM PST: Is Your Learning Technology Holding You Back?

We all know how quickly business moves, and technology changes even faster. Why then do so many organizations rely on outdated learning technology to support their business? Why do they use multiple LMSs from a variety of vendors across their global organization? According to Brandon Hall Group research, a “system that appears outdated” has been one of the top five reasons why companies want to switch their LMS providers for the past several years. Our research also indicates that large organizations, on average, have as many as four different LMSs.

Often, companies hold onto legacy technology or multiple systems for fear that a change would be too challenging and/or expensive. The truth is that old technology and extra systems may be costing your company far more time and money than you know.

Join David Wentworth, Principal Learning Analyst for Brandon Hall Group, and Michelle Sullivan, Marketing Director for NetDimensions as they share insights into the challenges companies face with learning technology, and discuss best practices for creating a strategy to upgrade, as well as tips to prepare your organization and mitigate the impact change represents. 

Thursday, June 9, 2016, 10AM – 11AM PST: Engaging Activities for Live Online Meetings, Webinars, and Virtual Training

Whether it's an online meeting, a webinar, or live online training, engagement is on everyone's mind. Will it be worth the time to attend, or will it be an opportunity to check email?

Interaction is the key to engagement, and using a platform’s features is the key to interaction. However, the features alone do not engage the participants. It is what you do with those features that will make the difference in your next online event.

Join this one-hour webcast to learn what you can do to build interaction and engagement to get results. You’ll learn:

  • How engaging live online meetings, webinars, and training events are delivered.

Thursday, June 9, 2016, 10AM – 11AM PST: The Evolution of Human Capital Technology: Empowerment for the Restaurant and Food Services Industry

All attendees will receive a complimentary book, Building a Magnetic Culture by Kevin Sheridan. This webinar is sponsored by cfactor Works.

Things used to be simple. You used the telephone book to find a phone number. You pulled out a map to see where something was. And your watch wasn’t smarter than you are. Today's reality is, we have come to expect an integrated experience. With one query I want to know where something is, how far away it is, when it’s available, and if they have it in my favorite colour. The same is true of work. We don’t want to interact with siloed processes, we want capabilities to engage with information and people seamlessly as we go in order to get the job done.

And as human capital technology evolves, it is moving from a place where people simply access discrete bits of information – learning over here, benefits over there – to a system of engagement enabling individual and organizational growth, productivity and results.

To highlight how using human capital technology as a system of engagement can empower a workforce and benefit an industry, Brandon Hall Group and Kevin Sheridan will discuss cases studies from the Restaurant and Food Services industry and include recent research findings from Brandon Hall Group’s HCM Technology Trends, Employee Value Proposition, and Employee Engagement surveys.

Thursday, June 9, 2016, 10AM – 11AM PST: Hiring Under the Microscope: 5 Steps for Improving the Science of Selection (Free for ATD members)

Metrics, analytics, and big data loom large on the HR radar.

HR practitioners remain unaware of which selection methods are most (and least) predictive, and only 14 percent of organizations have data to show the business impact of their assessment strategy.

With payroll and benefits representing one of the largest line items on virtually every company’s operating statement, effective selection is perhaps HR’s greatest opportunity to significantly affect the bottom line. It’s time for organizations to put hiring under the microscope. In this webcast, the presenter will share five steps for creating more evidence-based, scientific, and effective selection processes. You will:

  • Discover what hiring methods have the highest predictive validity.

  • Discuss what measures and methods will yield the highest return on investment for your organization.

  • Learn what criteria to consider when selecting an assessment instrument.

Tuesday, June 21, 2016, 10AM – 11AM PST: Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go: Career Conversations Employees Want

In today’s business environment, talent is the major differentiator. And developing and retaining that talent is one of the most significant drivers of employee engagement…which in turn is the key to critical business outcomes like revenue, profitability, innovation, and customer loyalty.

Yet, despite the importance of career development, managers too frequently can’t find the time to make it happen. Every day, employees who believe that their careers are not getting the attention they deserve make the decision to disengage—resigning to pursue other opportunities or (even more dangerous) staying and withdrawing their engagement, motivation, and enthusiasm for the work.

So, what’s a manager to do? Plenty…and it may be easier than you expect. Quality career development boils down to quality conversations. Improve the conversation and career development improves….along with job satisfaction, retention, and results.

Dr. Beverly Kaye will show you just how simple it can be and how leaders can build career development into everyday work life – where it belongs. Practical tips, research-based recommendations, and verbal skills are offered to make career development a lot easier and more effective. This will be an interactive dialogue with Bev and your fellow HR colleagues.

Thursday, June 30, 2016, 10AM – 11AM PST: Learner-Centric Programs that Drive Revenue and Power Sales Performance

For organizations with dedicated sales teams, training has often posed a serious challenge. How beneficial is it to pull sales people off the road or off the phone for days at a time and stick them in a class or a course?

The rapid demand, constant change, accelerating career paths and abundance of technologies allow them to “skip" traditional learning and training.

Topics covered:

  • Know the difference between modern and old training and learning methods employed in organizations

  • Learn to contrast: seeker styles with learning styles and differentiate workflow applications from content learning.

  • Identify your approach: explainer or inducer, hoarder or expounder of information.

  • Learn the seven attributes of the seekers.

  • Understand the learning flow or inclinations of the seekers.

  • Incorporate adjustments to your learning environments to support the seekers.
