Using Training to Rebrand Sofitel Hotels
With an increasingly competitive marketplace in the high-end hotel industry, worldwide luxury hotel chain Sofitel embarked on a rebranding program in 2008 to position itself as an exclusive chain that offered its guests a unique experience. To facilitate this, an extensive employee training program was put in place across all 40 countries in which Sofitel operates to make every one of the organization’s 25,000 employees “ambassadors” for the brand. Every employee, from new hires to the most long-term employees, from hourly employee to executives, went through a two-year long onsite training program at the individual hotel site in which the employee works. Training was provided by a corporate training team that traveled from location to location. Training centered on how to create a sense of luxury for customers, empowering employees at all levels with the freedom to make unique and personalized experiences for any guests on the spot. Employees are issued “passports” for their training, which are stamped upon completion of individual training units with stamps rewarded through gift certificates, celebrations, accreditation, and heightened responsibilities. Ongoing monthly training is provided to employees who have successfully completed the initial two-year training. The program has resulted in significant improved guest satisfaction and greatly aided in employee retention.1

Many organizations use the term learning rather than training to emphasize the point that the activities engaged in as part of this developmental process are broad based and involve much more than straightforward acquisition of manual or technical skills.
Learning implies ongoing development and continuously adding to employees’ skills and knowledge to meet the challenges the organization faces from its external environment. A focus on learning, as ...

The key components of an effective HRD program are career planning, training, education, development activities, and maintaining a good quality of work life. HRD aims to develop knowledgeable, skilled staff and help the organization achieve its goals through continuous learning and development of employees.

Chris Ferris Retrain Manitoba Presentation - CEA - June 2, 2023.pdfChrisFerris
Abstract: Canadian governments collaborate with partner organizations to implement public policy. This intensified in 2020 with the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. We consider the case of Retrain Manitoba, a $12.5 million dollar workforce skills development fund that was part of Manitoba’s Skills, Talent, and Workforce Strategy. Retrain Manitoba was supported by the Province of Manitoba, the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce and administered by Economic Development Winnipeg (EDW). We detail the purpose, implementation, and select aggregate details of its successful outcomes.
The program’s purpose was to help Manitoba organizations affected by the pandemic, by reimbursing companies for micro-credential courses they needed to improve staff skills.
Any Manitoba-based business, not-for-profit, or charity of any size with a valid Manitoba business number in good standing could register for training reimbursement via the Retrain Manitoba portal. The per employee maximum was $2,500, and per organization maximum was $75,000. Applications were accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
For the reimbursement approval, organizations had to send a valid paid receipt via the Retrain Manitoba portal. Once confirmed, funds were paid out within five business days. Training eligible for reimbursement included courses with a start date as early as April 1, 2021, along with training paid for while the program was active. The program was slated to run from November 8, 2021, until March 31, 2022; or until the funds ran out. This occurred on February 4, 2022.
At least 1,365 organizations were reimbursed for training over 18,000 employees. Eighty-seven per cent of the companies were small businesses (0 to 99 employees).

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
