Technology is moving faster than the human mind can adapt. And this is even more evident with employee burnout at companies around the world.

In August 2021, in an unprecedented move, 4.3 million Americans left their jobs. Coined the “Great Resignation”, the trend has continued into 2022. This shift in the way employees view their jobs—temporary until something better comes along—has caused much anxiety for employers. Causes of resignation from the pandemic era, include poorly adapted hybrid work conditions, fears of contracting COVID-19, and existential epiphanies. But these aren’t the only reasons people walk away from a job.

Join this upcoming session as we discuss:

As teams grow, managers spend less time on the specific craft of their discipline. What matters more is that they can get the best out of a group of people. For example, no CEO is an expert across sales and design, engineering and communications, finance and human resources. And yet, she is tasked with building and leading an organization that does all of those things. At higher levels of management, the job starts to converge regardless of background. Success becomes more about mastering a few key skills: hiring exceptional leaders, building self-reliant teams, establishing a clear vision, and communicating well.

Learning Objectives:

• Performance Management Best Practices
• Tools for Continuous Improvement
• Coaching & Appreciation Strategies

Knowledge sharing is hard, it's even harder to manage than knowledge and resources. It gets more complicated when new team members join, multiple copies of documents are created or departments change processes. Did you know that employees spend about 3.6 hours each day searching for information? How can they be efficient in their work if they can't find what they need? Having an efficient workforce is even more important in these economic times where hiring budgets are tight and deadlines are never ending.

Join this upcoming session as we discuss:

• Understanding why knowledge management is directly tied to operational efficiency
• What your employees need in their knowledge management platform
• What you can do you meet their needs
