Empathy allows us to imagine the world from different perspectives\, unite across functions\, generations\, regions. It is becoming a requirement for deep motivation and true influence in a world of diffused and often scattershot attention. \nPromising research from Chief Learning Officer magazine indicates that soft skills can\, in fact\, be trained\, and that empathy is the foundational skill\, having the greatest positive correlation with all productivity measures as well as other desirable leadership traits. Leaders who undergo behavior based soft skill training report a 49 percent increase in soft skills post training\, and organizations demonstrate an average ROI of $4\,000 for every $1\,100 spent developing soft skills. Until now\, “empathy” was believed to be mostly intrinsic. Research now shows that empathy can actually be trained by placing the viewer in an immersive\, virtual environment.

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 lending to skill gaps? Have you done a formal assessment to uncover skill gaps? Are you using modern learning methods to bridge gaps by upskilling your current workforce? \nJoin Katie Miller from BizLibrary as we re-evaluate potential root causes of your organization’s skill gaps and discuss what can be done to fill them efficiently. \nIn this webinar\, you’ll learn: \n– The factors that could be contributing to your skill gaps\, and how to find and address the root causes\n– How to re-evaluate what a “qualified candidate” is in order to create more relevant and realistic talent expectations\n– How to start uncovering your organization’s skill gaps with a formal assessment\n– How to use modern training methods to bridge skill gaps by upskilling your workforce URL:https://www.chieflearningofficer.com/event/re-evaluating-your-organizations-skill-gaps/ CATEGORIES:Learning Delivery,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.chieflearningofficer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/1121_EDIT.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191120T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191120T150000 DTSTAMP:20191024T210223Z CREATED:20191024T210223Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191024T210223Z UID:80662-1574258400-1574262000@www.chieflearningofficer.com SUMMARY:Explore the Core Principles of Design Thinking DESCRIPTION:Design Thinking is getting a lot of attention today\, for many reasons.

That’s why we collected data from nearly 800 workers\, managers\, and leaders from around the globe to gain some insights into where L&D and talent leaders can be more effective. The survey says…..L&D is falling short for the modern workforce. In fact\, our respondents gave their employers an overall Net Promoter Score of -25 on their learning and development strategies. But many business leaders know this already. What they don’t know is how to fix it. The good news is that employees still love learning and they’re looking for organizational guidance. By honing in on the data and insights that impact how people — and companies — learn\, you can make smarter investments in your most valuable assets: the skills of your people. Lucky for you\, this event also includes a quick case study from Booking.com on how they are making this data come to life in their organization. \nRegister for this webinar to learn:\n• The difference between learning and acquiring new skills\n• How to apply hard metrics to your L&D strategy\n• How to align your employees’ learning goals with those of your larger company\n• How Polaris is putting the insights from the research to work at their organization URL:https://www.chieflearningofficer.com/event/reaching-the-blue-collar-workforce-how-polaris-learns-in-2019/ CATEGORIES:Strategy,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.chieflearningofficer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/1119_EDIT.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191107T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191107T150000 DTSTAMP:20191022T220227Z CREATED:20191022T220227Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191022T220227Z UID:80659-1573135200-1573138800@www.chieflearningofficer.com SUMMARY:Don’t Wait: What 300 L&D Leaders Have Learned About Building Data Fluency DESCRIPTION:Data science and AI are impacting many industries globally\, from healthcare and government to agriculture and finance. Everybody needs to be able to work with data the way everybody needed to start using email 20 years ago. As we wrote in Harvard Business Review\, “Very few companies expect only professional writers to know how to write. So why ask only professional data scientists to understand and analyze data\, at least at a basic level?” \nBut what value can data fluency actually add\, what are best practices to build it into your organization\, and what are the biggest challenges that businesses encounter in data-driven transformations? \nTo answer these questions and more\, we conducted a survey of over 300 Learning and Development leaders from diverse industries including healthcare\, technology\, consumer goods\, government\, and finance. Join this webinar with Dr. Hugo Bowne-Anderson\, a data scientist and educator at DataCamp\, to find out what we discovered and what 300 L&D leaders have learned about building data fluency. \nLearning Objectives:\n– What value can data fluency actually add?\n– What are the best practices to build data fluency in your organization?\n– What are the biggest challenges that businesses encounter in data-driven transformations?

The line of thinking is that if engagement is good\, that means employees are good\, resulting in better business outcomes for employers. But\, is employee engagement the best construct that employers should use to positively impact productivity and performance? \nNew research suggests while engagement is important\, it’s only one piece of the broader picture—the entire employee experience. In reality\, people want to work for a company that enables them to bring their full selves to their job and helps them grow and thrive. Creating this kind of workplace goes beyond just ensuring that employees are engaged—discovering the ingredients that create the most positive employee experience\, then creating the conditions to cultivate them. When companies enhance the employee experience\, business benefits directly. \nJoin Chief Learning Officer magazine and BetterUp for a lively discussion where we’ll discuss: \n• Key findings from our research of over 17\,000 workers\n• What the Employee Experience Index (EX Index) is\, and why you’ll want to use it\n• Why the EX Index will change how you think about traditional Learning & Development\n• Strategies for optimizing 6 key experience areas for better business outcomes URL:https://www.chieflearningofficer.com/event/leveraging-internal-executives-and-peer-learning-to-impact-ld-culture-and-objectives-across-the-globe/ CATEGORIES:Talent Management,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.chieflearningofficer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/919_EDIT1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190917T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190917T150000 DTSTAMP:20190819T212424Z CREATED:20190819T212424Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190819T212424Z UID:80648-1568728800-1568732400@www.chieflearningofficer.com SUMMARY:Driving Strategy: How to Avoid the Top Three Mistakes DESCRIPTION:Whether you are creating and leading strategy for your organization or have a role in driving adoption of a strategy there are three\, easily avoidable mistakes that many organizations and leaders make: (1) not being clear on intent\, (2) not understanding if all leaders are on-board with the strategy\, and (3) not predicting and mitigating failure points.\nIn this webinar\, Erica Tetuan\, Change Management Practice Lead\, will explore:\n• A formula to ensure the intent is clear and you know your role in bringing the strategy to life\n• A method for thinking about who needs to be engaged in leading the strategy and how to determine if their support of the strategy and aptitude for leading the change is where you need it to be and how to assess yourself\n• The power of being predictive to be preventative – how to see around corners to make better decisions and plan for things that might go awry URL:https://www.chieflearningofficer.com/event/driving-strategy-how-to-avoid-the-top-three-mistakes/ CATEGORIES:Strategy,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.chieflearningofficer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/0917_EDIT.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190905T073000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190905T110000 DTSTAMP:20221026T181622Z CREATED:20190425T011735Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221026T181622Z UID:80629-1567668600-1567681200@www.chieflearningofficer.com SUMMARY:CLO Breakfast Club - Boston 2019 DESCRIPTION:Join us at the CLO Breakfast Club where we’ll be discussing the trends\, technologies and practices transforming employee development into an even more powerful force for sustained success.
