Succeeding at Work - The Adventure Begins- New Employee Orientation Training  Succeeding at Work - The Adventure Begins- New Employee Orientation Training

(Winner Crystal Shooting Star and Cindy Awards for Best Video)

What does it take to succeed at work? Do your employees know where your organization is going and how they fit in? Are they clear on how their success at work will be measured? Do they understand your organization's "culture" and core workplace values? How do you expect them to treat their colleagues? How should they treat their internal and external customers? Who is ultimately responsible for their success?

Succeeding at Work - The Adventure Begins is intended to help new employees explore the behaviors and interpersonal skills that will be essential to their success. Employees will have a clearer idea of... their organization's mission, their performance objectives, their organization's core workplace values, policies on harassment and diversity, appearance and punctuality standards, respectful communications issues... customer service practices, and the need to take responsibility for their own success.

Succeeding at Work - The Adventure Begins takes place aboard the Space Cruiser Success as it rockets through the galaxies. As the story unfolds, the crew learns valuable lessons about how they should treat each other, communicate with each other, serve their internal and external customers and value the diverse skills and backgrounds they each bring with them.

Succeeding at Work - The Adventure Begins is entertaining and insightful. A great deal of information is covered in a relatively short time. We introduce a fascinating and diverse crew of humans and aliens, each with strengths and challenges that will look strangely familiar to us. The program is divided into modular segments making it easy to further explore the issues raised.

Jack Cade's Nightmare I: A Supervisor's Guide to Laws Affecting the Workplace - Free Preview Jack Cade's Nightmare I: A Supervisor's Guide to Laws Affecting the Workplace - Free Preview

A supervisor's job has become complicated to say the least. In today's workplace simply using a "common-sense approach" will not always shield your supervisors and managers from the liability they face. A supervisor's decisions or statements that may appear insignificant can lead to trouble and expose the supervisor and their organization to costly litigation. Supervisors now must comply with an increasing number of laws and regulations – just ask Jack Cade.

Jack Cade's Nightmare I: A Supervisor's Guide to Laws Affecting the Workplace was designed to help reduce the potential liability that all organizations and their management staffs face on a daily basis. This training program will sensitize supervisors and managers to the problems and legal liabilities that can arise under the rapidly changing labor and employment laws.

Key Training Points: Gain a familiarity of the wide range of employment and labor laws and how they impact supervisors' and managers' daily decisions../ Build awareness of the many lesser known employment-related laws../ Provide general guidance on how to spot problems and avoid mistakes commonly made by supervisors and managers../ Learn the "Watch what you say" rules../ Audience: New and experienced supervisors and managers.

Courseware Included in the Jack Cade's Nightmare I: Trainer's Manual/ 5 Participant Manuals/ 2-part Video Case Study (Part I = 23 minutes; Part II = 23 minutes)/ * Rental only includes one Facilitator Manual and 2-part Case Study Video. Participant Manuals must be purchased.

Does Your HR Department Kiss Up or Kick Down? Does Your HR Department Kiss Up or Kick Down?

Does the Human Resources department (HR) of your organization deserve a recognition of excellence? Based on my knowledge of many organizations, the HR department is blamed far more often than it's recognized. Most likely that’s the case at your organization. Nevertheless, I was shocked to read the following paragraph in the Editorial section of the “HR Exec of the Year Issue” of Human Resource Executive magazine, “ As we were soliciting nominations for this year’s HR Executive of the Year, we received in the mail a most unusual reply. The letter was written by the chief executive officer of a major Fortune 200 company. In it, the CEO thanked us for our call for nominations, but noted that he couldn't think of a single HR leader who deserved such a recognition.”

David Shadovitz, editor of Human Resource Executive, continued his editorial piece titled Better HR saying, “ Perhaps this CEO has good reason for responding the way he did. But as this year's selections for the HR Executive of the Year and Honor Roll prove, HR excellence is clearly alive and well- and making a remarkable difference in certain organizations.” The winner this year was Bill Conaty, General Electric's senior vice president of corporate human resources. Why? GE's former chairman Jack Welch points out that Conaty is especially unique in that he was able to earn the trust of those above and below him. “ Some HR people kiss up; some HR people kick down people,” he says. “He's almost the opposite. He kicks up. He challenges the CEO and keeps confidence in his people. That's one of the great things he does.”

So how does your HR department compare? Does it kiss up, kick down, or kick up?

Interview for Success: A Half-Day Competency-Based Workshop: Leader's Guide, Video, and PowerPoint Slide Show Interview for Success: A Half-Day Competency-Based Workshop: Leader's Guide, Video, and PowerPoint Slide Show

Competency-based interviewing techniques will give your company a strategic focus by allowing hiring managers to integrate job-specific, future-oriented competencies into their interviews. This workshop teaches participants to identify key competencies (characteristics that differentiate outstanding performers from average performers in a given job) and build those competencies into their hiring and selection process in order to attain this strategic focus.

Interviewing for competencies follows a structured format which this workshop takes you through step-by-step-the interviewer builds a customized interview format for each individual position based on the duties and responsibilities of the position and identifies the critical skills needed to perform these duties and responsibilities at a superior performance level.

Unlike other competency-based interviewing workshops, Interview for Success uses personality measures based on the results of a Big 5 Personality Assessment in conjunction with competency-based interviewing and ties the two factors together to assess areas, such as technical acumen and behavioral tendencies.

Video role-plays effectively model behavioral interviewing practices and provide learners with a structured format to recognize and critique, good and bad approaches.

With a series of Job Aids for each step, as well as a database of competencies, behaviors, and more than 300 effective behavioral interviewing questions provided on CD-ROM, this easy-to-use tool enables the hiring manager or human resources professional to expertly build a competency-based interview.

More Than a Gut Feeling III: Updated version of American Media's all-time, best-selling video! More Than a Gut Feeling III: Updated version of American Media's all-time, best-selling video!

How-To Training Points: How to plan a logical, structured interview that includes pre-planned interview questions../ How to recognize the importance of developing an interview plan based on thorough knowledge of the job../ How to understand that a behavioral example is a specific life-history event that can be used to determine the presence or absence of a skill.../ How to use interviewing techniques that allow for interviewer control ../ How to explain why it is important to make selection decisions based on facts and information, not on a gut feeling ../ How to explain why the concept of "the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior" is so important in the behavioral-based interview process../ How to recognize why some questions cannot be legally asked in the interview process

More Than a Gut Feeling III teaches you to select the most qualified job candidate by applying the ever-popular behavioral approachª to interviewing. This method, developed by industrial psychologist Dr. Paul Green, directs you to probe the job applicant for specific examples of their past. The reason is simple: The best predictor of a job applicant's future work behavior is their past work behavior.

Viewers of More Than a Gut Feeling III will learn helpful job-related interviewing techniques practiced by so many hiring staffs all over the world. You can refrain from judging an applicant on gut feeling by: asking rapport-building questions; discussing the job; taking notes and explaining why; asking specific, open-ended questions to get specific answers; allowing for silence if necessary; maintaining control; getting contrary evidence and evaluating. This video applies these techniques to the most common interviewing situations and helps you to refrain from judging the candidate on intuition.

SPECIAL FEATURE: Dr. Paul Green introduces the video with a personal message about his behavioral approach to interviewing and concludes the video with questions to think about the next time you interview a job candidate.

The People Side of Great Business (A Video Presentation) The People Side of Great Business (A Video Presentation)

Featuring: Libby Sartain, Senior VP HR and "Chief  People Yahoo" at Yahoo! Inc.

Great businesses begin with great ideas, but they are sustained only through the dedication and passion of great people. To encourage such employees, Libby Sartain advocates a healthy, high-performance culture based on an environment of loyalty and trust. Such an environment is created by honest, two-way communications; adherence to stated values; and the establishment of clear expectations and rewards.

Once this spirit of dedication is in place, your organization's principles and values become self-governing. As a result, your employees' entire energies will be focused on achieving your company's market and growth objectives. Sartain explains how to unleash the power of your company's foremost asset-its employees-and create lasting value.

Prior to joining Yahoo!, Sartain was Vice President of People at Southwest Airlines, where she directed all human resources functions. She played a key role in developing an employment brand strategy that helped Southwest double employee growth in six years and fostered the company's reputation as a leading employer of choice. Sartain was named fellow of the National Academy of Human Resources, and she is co-author of "HR from the Heart: Inspiring Stories and Strategies for Building the People Side of Great Business."

ADA Revisited ADA Revisited

 

The ADA Revisited is based onthe White Ribbon Award Winner, The ADA On Video

Program Objectives

The ADA Revisited is intended to inform managers and other employees about
the opportunities and legal responsibilities organizations and individuals face under the
Americans with Disabilities Act. It is an excellent way to allay fears and misconceptions
about the ADA while sensitizing employees to the benefits of a diverse workforce that includes
persons with different abilities.

Program Contents

The ADA Revisited combines analysis of the ADA by a team of legal experts as well as
interviews with employees with disabilities and their managers to provide a balanced view of
the impact of the ADA in today’s workplaces. We examine the law’s requirements regarding
interviewing and hiring practices, what constitutes equal access to employment benefits and
training, how to determine the “essential functions” of a job, as well as what “reasonable
accommodations” are and when they are needed.

Support Materials

The ADA Revisited comes with a comprehensive facilitation package that includes a training
guide with course outlines for shorter or more complete training, reproducible handouts, and a
Questions & Answers publication from the US Department of Justice and the EEOC.

Purchase the program for $625.00

ADA and Disability Law Training Video ADA and Disability Law Training Video

How workers with disabilities can become valued contributors to your team.

This video gives you practical, step-by-step guidelines for complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It also helps train your managers to overcome stereotypes so they can interview and hire disabled individuals without bias or discrimination. It shows managers how to supervise disabled employees and develop reasonable accommodations that fit both the individual and the job.

Key learning points include:

  • Defining disability.
  • Legal obligations and procedures.
  • Who's covered.
  • Medical issues and exams.
  • Job descriptions and essential job functions.
  • Proper documentation.
  • Hiring and supervision.

Employees with disabilities generally have lower absenteeism and accident rates than other employees. They tend to be rated "good" to "excellent" in job performance. An openness to hiring such employees helps you meet legal requirements and expands your employee base to include potentially valuable individuals.
