Highlights
Now is the Perfect Time to Elevate the Employee Experience
This special webinar reveals highlights of Brandon Hall Group’s ongoing COVID-19 research on how organizations are adapting to the dramatic increase in remote work. Analysts Claude Werder and David Wentworth discuss what leading employers are doing to create a great employee experience despite the crisis and how those adjustments can be carried over to whatever the “new normal” becomes after the crisis subsides.
The Complexities of Employee Engagement and How to Improve It
This research, completed just before the coronavirus crisis hit, explores critical questions related to engagement and strategies to improve the current situation in which employees are 146% more likely to be somewhat engaged or actively disengaged than highly engaged. While COVD-19 has changed the dynamics of engagement, the principles for success remain the same: forge stronger connections with employees. This KnowledgeGraphic presents new data and provides five strategies employers can deploy to improve engagement even in these difficult times.
Other Published Research
Talent Assessments: Making the Case for Change
Talent assessments are used by almost all employers, though not in a consistent, strategic manner that delivers on the potential to improve hiring, development and talent retention. Only one-fifth of organizations have a formal strategy that consistently leverages a range of assessments, from pre-hire to departure. This tool, called a Business Builder, establishes the business case for improving the use of talent assessments.
Team Development: Fixing the Disconnect Between Importance and Effectiveness
Most organizations say they have a team mindset and operate in a team-driven environment, according to Brandon Hall Group’s 2020 Team Development research. However, there is a significant disconnect between the prevalence of teams and employers’ willingness or ability to invest in a dedicated curriculum and other measures to optimize team performance. Seventy-nine percent of organizations surveyed admitted they do not invest enough time and budget for team development. This report summarizes research findings, poses critical questions for organizations and gives five strategies to bridge the gap between the importance and effectiveness of team development.
