Training for Success: Balancing Compliance and Professional Development
Professionals within the banking and financial services industries are aware that the industry is in a constant state of change. Regulatory compliance demands banking and financial institutions provide training to remain compliant, which often causes supplemental training, that benefits your employees’ development, to be overlooked.
If you’re only providing compliance training to your employees, you’re missing the chance to give your organization and employees a competitive edge! Join Katie Koloj and Brianna O’Hara from BizLibrary as they explain the differences and benefits of compliance-only training verses overall professional development training in terms of your employees’ development. They’ll discuss how you can balance the compliance training required to keep your organization in business and the professional development training needed to give your organization a competitive advantage.
During this webinar you’ll learn:
• Defining compliance and professional development training
• How compliance training and professional development training can affect your organization
• Why balancing compliance and professional development training will help your organization succeed
• Three things to keep in mind when choosing your training methods
How to Develop High Potential Employees in Your Organization
Your people are your organization's most valuable asset; training and developing people for new positions and challenges is not only more cost effective than hiring new talent, but it also helps them stay engaged. The problem is that many organizations struggle to identify the best development strategies and career paths for their employees. And when employees — particularly high-potential employees — feel as if they don’t have the right growth opportunities in your organization, they’ll go looking elsewhere.

Addressing Mental Health in the Workplace
Let’s face it: Work can be stressful. In fact, the Attitudes in the American Workplace VII report found that 80% of workers feel stress on the job, and nearly half say they need help in learning how to manage stress. Although the conversation around mental health is becoming less stigmatized, it’s still a difficult topic to discuss in the workplace. In addition to the red tape and legal concerns, leaders may not feel comfortable advising others because they, themselves, are also grappling with mental health concerns.
This complimentary Training Industry webinar, sponsored by BizLibrary, will empower human resources (HR) and learning and development (L&D) professionals to effectively and ethically address and support employees’ mental health and well-being on an individual and organizational scale.

While marketing your training program can seem like a daunting task for HR and L&D professionals, it is actually much simpler than you might imagine. During this session, you will learn how to overcome these common challenges and understand the effect marketing has on your overall training program success.
This session’s key learning objectives:
-How to build excitement around your training program and drive utilization through a marketing strategy

Horizontal vs Vertical Career Pathing: How to Make Promotions Work
Receiving a promotion is the epitome of an employee’s growth and success, but many companies are misusing promotions. As high performers reach their peak, they’re being promoted to managers solely based on performance. This type of career pathing is creating a domino effect in companies. The newly promoted managers often do not have the skillset to manage, therefore their employees become disengaged and your bottom line starts suffering more and more. How can we stop this domino effect from happening?
Join Tiffany Kummer from BizLibrary as she explains her strategy for career pathing using two different approaches, vertical and horizontal. Not everyone is meant to manage (or wants to), and that is okay. Tiffany will show you how you can still advance your high performers without putting them and your company in an unfavorable position.
How to Turn Times of Change and Uncertainty into Positive Opportunities
Gone are the days of someone working for one company for their entire career. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average person will change jobs 12 times before retiring. This increase in employee turnover can often be attributed to times of change and uncertainty in the workplace, like layoffs, restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, etc. Change in the workplace is inevitable, but it doesn't have to be seen as negative, and it certainly doesn't have to become a reason for talented employees to leave your company.
Join Daniel Binkholder and Derek Smith from BizLibrary as they discuss how times of change and uncertainty can become opportunities to move your workforce in the right direction. They'll explain how learning and development is key to alleviating some of the stress that change and uncertainty brings to employees and their organizations.
During this webinar, you'll learn:
- Why not being prepare during times of change and uncertainty is creating higher turnover
- How to use L&D successfully during times of change and uncertainty
- The proper ways to communicate to keep a strong workforce during times of change and uncertainty

How Training Managers Can Use Self-Development to Improve Their Programs
As a training program manager, you spend so much time and energy developing others that focusing on your own self-development may feel less important, but it’s not! In fact, the more a program manager invests in their own skills, the more impact they can have on an organization. Join Director of Talent Development & Culture at BizLibrary, Libby Mullen, for an interactive discussion on self-development, and why it is imperative for a training program manager to find the balance between their own self-development and developing their workforce, to achieve a program with maximum engagement and higher ROI.
In this webcast, you’ll learn about:
Seven competencies of a program managers’ personal development
How to align your own goals and metrics to your company’s goals for improved results
A framework to gain respect and buy-in from leadership for your training program
7 Steps to Create a Competency-Based Training Program
Employee training is fluid, dynamic, and complex – which is why competency-based training is a more important strategic component of today’s employee learning strategies. Competency-based training links individual performance to the goals of the organization. A defined set of competencies for each role in your organization illustrates the behaviors, reinforces organization values, and provides the strategic direction employees need to achieve organizational objectives.
How HR Can Balance Compliance Vision and the Employee Experience
Gratitude is a rare thing to receive in human resources. Traditionally, HR’s role in many organizations was to do their best to keep up with paperwork and other tactical requirements of compliance issues, leading employees to see HR as disciplinarians and leadership to see HR as an obstacle to overcome.
But now that HR has the technological bandwidth to handle these compliance tasks, employees and leaders are expecting more. HR has to strike a balance between three competing roles: employee advocate, strategic partner, and compliance facilitator. The workforce continues to put emphasis on wanting to work for companies that will invest in their professional development, and companies are constantly in a battle for top talent. This puts HR in a unique position—they become the bridge between their leadership’s vision and the employee experience, doing their best to protect the organization and support everyone’s future in it. The new HR professional can’t just react to issues—they need the knowledge and tools to become a strategic resource for their organizations.
Join Libby Mullen from BizLibrary and Cassie Whitlock from BambooHR as they discuss how HR professionals can balance the demands of legal, leadership, and employee concerns. We’ll cover four key facets where HR’s efforts will be the key factor in producing desirable results, like increased employee engagement, higher productivity, and strong company culture. With this new mindset, HR will finally have the time, know-how, and buy-in to focus on the human side of human resources.
During this webinar, we will discuss:
How HR professionals can break free of stereotypes and become strategic partners within their organizations.
Four areas of your organization that can generate higher profits and happier employees when HR is viewed as an employee advocate.
The benefits of HR being able to hand over the torch to managers when it comes to giving individuals feedback and recognition.
The overall positive effect this transformation of the HR role can have on an entire organization and how to get your organization on board.

How to Give Feedback and Performance Reviews Like a Coach, Not a Boss
Did you have a favorite coach when you were younger?
Were they your favorite because of the way they led you and your team through successes and failures? How they gave encouraging feedback? The trusting relationship you had? A good manager and employee relationship should mimic the investment your favorite coach had in you and your team.
According to a 2018 Workplace Learning Report, 94% of employees would stay at a company longer if it invested in their career more.

What are these organizations missing?
Training. Upskilling current employees is the most effective and cost-efficient way to bridge skill gaps and create an organization that’s ready for the future. But it doesn’t take just any kind of training.

HR has to strike a balance between three competing roles: employee advocate, strategic partner, and compliance facilitator. The workforce continues to put emphasis on wanting to work for companies that will invest in their professional development, and companies are constantly in a battle for top talent. This puts HR in a unique position—they become the bridge between their leadership’s vision and the employee experience, doing their best to protect the organization and support everyone’s future in it. The new HR professional can’t just react to issues—they need the knowledge and tools to become a strategic resource for their organizations.
Join Libby Mullen from BizLibrary and Cassie Whitlock from BambooHR as they discuss how HR professionals can balance the demands of legal, leadership, and employee concerns. We’ll cover four key facets where HR’s efforts will be the key factor in producing desirable results, like increased employee engagement, higher productivity, and strong company culture. With this new mindset, HR will finally have the time, know-how, and buy-in to focus on the human side of human resources.
During this webinar, we will discuss:
How HR professionals can break free of stereotypes and become strategic partners within their organizations.
Four areas of your organization that can generate higher profits and happier employees when HR is viewed as an employee advocate.
The benefits of HR being able to hand over the torch to managers when it comes to giving individuals feedback and recognition.
The overall positive effect this transformation of the HR role can have on an entire organization and how to get your organization on board.

How to Give Feedback and Performance Reviews Like a Coach, Not a Boss
Did you have a favorite coach when you were younger?
Were they your favorite because of the way they led you and your team through successes and failures? How they gave encouraging feedback? The trusting relationship you had? A good manager and employee relationship should mimic the investment your favorite coach had in you and your team.
According to a 2018 Workplace Learning Report, 94% of employees would stay at a company longer if it invested in their career more. But your HR team probably doesn’t have the bandwidth to coach each employee. Turning your managers into coaches who can provide employees with support and give constructive feedback will help both individuals and the company succeed.

They’ve gone on hiring sprees, brought in consultants and even administered lengthy tests to candidates before hiring — but to little avail, as those gaps remain. What’s the next step?

Intersection Between Learning Measurement and Soft Skills Programming (EQ)
Intersection Between Learning Measurement and Soft Skills Programming (EQ)Training Industry Conference & Expo
Soft skills improvement is perceived as something intangible and doesn’t demonstrate increased results immediately. It can be labor intensive to observe each employee who is trained for different skills. To measure these skills correctly, it takes an unbiased professional to evaluate the behavioral changes. To develop effective measures of soft skills training, it is important to understand some of the drivers for implementing these programs in the first place. Many organizations implement soft skills programs to drive the professional development and growth of their employees. Organizations may identify key values and/or competencies and then build a training program to instill the values within their participants. In this session, we’ll discuss developing a plan for ROI to effectively measure the program and deliver quantifiable metrics to the organization.
Join us for this complimentary TICE Virtual Conference session. Your host, Julie Kirsch, director of program development at CohnReznick, will explore the challenges of measuring soft skills training, discuss how soft skills impact the business performance and strategies, and the various approaches that can be used to measure the program(s).3 Proven Methods to Optimize Your 2018 Strategy and Goals through Culture and...
Change management is done through culture. Understanding the strengths of your human capital is imperative to fully implementing a plan and expecting successful execution. As you’re investing time, energy and budget into planning for 2018, you should be asking questions such as, “Do our current employees have the right skills? Do we have the right people in the right roles? If not, how do we remove these barriers?”
You’re checking the most important box – getting a plan in place that, when executed, will propel your organization to the next level. However, many organizations are failing to run the proper diagnostic before implementation to make sure all your assumptions are, in fact, true and in working order. Optimizing your plan is imperative, but execution in 2018 looks bleak without optimizing your workforce first.
In this webinar recording, Tanya Bakalov of BetterSkills, Inc. discusses how to achieve the most success with your plans for 2018 by giving three ways to fully assess the teams you’re trusting to execute.
You will learn how to:
>> Gauge the “do-ability” of your plan with your organization’s current skills
>> Delegate initiative assignments to use each employee in their best capacity
>> Motivate employees to be agents of change and dedicated to your organization’s success

Microaggressions what are they and how can i avoid using them
Is that your real hair? Can I touch it?" "Where are you actually from?" "You’re so articulate!”
Do any of these sound familiar to you? Maybe you’ve had a few co-workers repeat some of these questions or phrases to you or maybe you yourself have asked a few coworkers some of these questions, not knowing you've probably just offended that person with what is commonly known as a microaggression. There are racial-, gender- and identity-based microaggressions, as well as others that can be found in today’s workplaces.
As more and more organizations continue to take a public and bold stance against racism, it’s important that they practice what they preach. During this session, you will learn how to identify what microaggressions are, and more importantly, how you can upgrade your old vocabulary to one that’s inclusive and appropriate for the modern workforce.
This session's key learning objectives include:
Understanding the need and benefit of embracing an anti-racist relationship with your fellow coworkers
Understanding the difference between microaggressions and macroaggressions, as well as the three most common types of microaggressions found in today’s workforce: racial-based, gender-based, and identity-based microaggressions
What you should actually say the next time you want to have an informative conversation with your black coworkers and other coworkers of color
How to Prepare Your Organization for a Safe Re-Entry During COVID-19
As organizations contemplate options for re-entry, a lot of questions emerge. How can everyone remain safe? What if someone gets sick? When is the right time to go back? Should we even re-open the office? With companies like Twitter and Google opting for their employees to remain home for an extended period of time or even indefinitely, it can be hard to know what’s best for your organization.
While there is not a simple answer to these questions, during the webinar, Director of Learning Culture and Talent Development at BizLibrary, Libby Mullen, is going to explain one thing that all organizations must do to make this transition as smooth as possible. Organizations must consider both employees’ physical and mental health and safety when creating their plan for a successful re-entry into the workplace.
Join Libby as she discusses these important topics and more during the webinar!
· How to prepare for re-entry before anyone steps foot into the office
· Why employees’ mental health must be taken as seriously as physical health during this time of uncertainty
· Guidelines and precautions from the CDC on how to safely return to work
· Assessments to uncover what is the right move for your organization
How to Adopt a Servant Leadership Mindset at Your Organization
In most organizations, the leaders are the ones that hold the power. Their leadership style resembles one of a traditional hierarchy, where the leaders sit on a pedestal while making commands, have the control, and demand certain outcomes from their employees. Servant leaders are disrupting this traditional style of leading by putting the employees first, and research is finding that this disruption of the leadership status quo has many benefits.
Join Libby Powers from BizLibrary, as she explains the positive outcomes of leading from last. Adopting a servant leadership mindset will not only improve the leadership skills of the person who leads, but the whole organization will flourish with improvements in common business challenges like employee engagement and retention.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
The qualities of a servant leader
How to transform command-control leadership into a serve-first mindset
Why companies need more servant leaders
Discover the Real Causes of Your Low Employee Engagement
Employee engagement has become a global dilemma that has cost companies billions of dollars due to lack of profit and productivity. One of the reasons this dilemma has grown so much is because many companies confuse “engagement” with “satisfaction.” While there is some overlap between the two, most employee engagement initiatives don’t get to the real root causes of disengagement issues, so they never see the results they want.
Let's start back at square one and analyze each piece that is needed to solve this giant puzzle of an organization’s employee engagement.
You’ll learn:
- How the different mindsets of engaged, not-engaged and actively disengaged employees impact their coworkers and the organization
- A few strategic models that structure the factors that will be needed to improve engagement
- Why employee engagement should be viewed as a symptom and not a cause of an organization’s troubles
- How to uncover the correlation between your company’s business challenges and low employee engagement
Success Beyond a Test: The Importance of Application in Performance Improvement
Leadership came to you with a request for training. You organized a training session where the employees seemed to have learned something. You received positive feedback, and you sent them a post-training quiz. Job well done, right?
Not exactly. A study from Robert O. Brinkerhoff found that we spend only 15 percent of our current training resources on the actual on-the-job application that a training event independently yields. We spend the majority on the design, development and delivery. That means we spend more time designing what the training will look like than evaluating how the training is helping our employees in their job roles day-to-day.
This interactive webinar, brought to you by BizLibrary, will provide easy-to-understand insights on:
- What you should do before training begins to assist with measurement
- Ways to drive behavior change post-training
- Diverse post-training tools and methods of measuring behavior
Re-evaluating Your Organization's Skill Gaps
Many companies have fallen victim to the ominous skills gap – but only because it’s easier to place blame somewhere else than to address the issue head on. If you’re struggling to find qualified candidates, you might need to take a deeper look at your organization and ask some pointed questions. Are there areas of the recruiting process that are leading to skill gaps? Has a formal assessment been done to uncover skill gaps? Are you using modern learning methods to bridge gaps by upskilling your current workforce?
Join Katie Miller from BizLibrary in this SHRM webcast to re-evaluate potential root causes of your organization’s skill gaps and discuss what can be done to fill them efficiently. In this webinar, you will learn:
- The factors that could be contributing to your skill gaps, and how to find and address the root causes
- How to re-evaluate what a “qualified candidate” is in order to create more relevant and realistic talent expectations
- How to start uncovering your organization’s skill gaps with a formal assessment
- How to use modern training methods to bridge skill gaps by upskilling your workforce
5 Ways to Unlock the Hidden Value in Your Emerging Leaders
Many organizations are facing a potentially disastrous drain on top talent as an increasing number of employees approach retirement. Unfortunately, most employers don’t have strategic-level initiatives in place to capture and retain the knowledge that's about to leave, and they don't have replacement talent ready to step into leadership as these roles open up.
Employers also feel they can't engage and retain early career talent long enough to fill leadership roles…but what if you approached the whole challenge a little bit differently? What if you looked at creative ways to tap into the vast talent pool of our emerging leaders today, and not wait until we promote them into designated leadership positions?
In this webinar you'll learn:
- 5 best practices to unlock the hidden value in your emerging leaders
- The business impact of investing in your current talent
- How to approach leadership with an intelligent, forward-thinking outlook that will return excellent results and inspire others
