need to perform at your best in the workplace? Improve work performance and increase productivity with strategies tailored to the fast-paced and competitive work environment of today. Don't let distractions and stressors get in the way of your success.While seemingly straightforward, the concept of work performance holds immense significance in the realm of professional achievement. It serves as a pivotal determinant of job success, enabling the assessment of an individual's prowess in executing tasks and effectively meeting the expectations of their role.
Diverse methodologies come into play when gauging work performance, encompassing factors like task completion time, execution efficiency, job accuracy, and the ability to adhere to deadlines. Employers frequently resort to performance reviews to evaluate employees' job performance and ascertain their eligibility for promotions or salary increments.
In this webinar, Leslie Vickrey, CEO & Founder of ClearEdge Marketing, shares 3 marketing strategies for driving your growth. She focuses on website optimization, target account programs (sales campaigns) and social media marketing.
While Office365 continues to grow at a rapid rate, adoption beyond Exchange can be slow without a strategy in place. This presentation discusses: a "go to market" strategy for a successful Office 365 deployment; productivity features that will enhance adoption; strategies for keeping end users engaged; how to track usage and activity so you can measure your success; and touches on many of the productivity features (Groups, Delve, Yammer, co-editing, etc). The primary focus, however, is on the management/ongoing educational aspects of a successful deployment.

Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
