Understanding Diversity & Inclusion: A Beginners Session. 

Webinar - Understanding Diversity & Inclusion: A Beginners Session 

Every company has two kinds of reputation.

One includes thoughts about your products, services, leaders, team members, history, and more. 

, and it can be a powerful, mysterious, and synergistic force — far more than just what you sell. 

The second is about how you are viewed as an employer. 

and it lives and breathes in the minds and hearts of your former, current, and future employees. 

In today’s increasingly competitive job market, a lack of a positive employer brand could make hiring and retaining the best employees challenging — and costly. 

You need talented, leadership-bound workers to drive your business forward, and the best way to find them is to cast the impression that your company is a great place to work. That is the focus of this webinar panel discussion. 

Through this panel discussion, you will learn: 

This webinar is most relevant to CXOs, Founders, HR - recruitment functions and people looking to build a career in Employer Branding.

Practical Talent Attraction and Employer Branding Strategies for Startups and Scaleups

In this era of work-from-anywhere and distributed teams, employee development strategies should be high on the list of priorities for any organization, particularly for small and medium businesses that rely on efficient team management.

As teams grow, identifying and developing future leaders from within the organization becomes critical. A recent Joblist study showed that nearly 70 percent of respondents prefer to be managed by an internal hire, who knows the business inside out than an external hire. However, when organizations promote from within, they need to ensure that key skills and invaluable insights are passed down to prospective leaders to avoid knowledge gaps. The best way to develop leaders is by providing them the resources to succeed in their new roles. That’s what this webinar is all about 

- empowering future leaders today for a successful tomorrow!

How to Build and Implement a Successful L&D Strategy in 2022

The context of the last two years has upended the legacy approach of people tech - one system that does everything. HR tech has evolved significantly, and so has the people operations function. As a result, the idea that a blanket approach can manage complex people problems and scale a team is outdated.

So how does one go about building a fully-integrated, built-for-purpose, People Ops tech stack? That's exactly what we discuss in this webinar. 

Through this panel discussion, you will learn 

how to go about building the core HR layer:

HR & People Ops Stack ‘22: 
Rethinking the systems and tools to run your organization in 2022 

Without a doubt, employees are the most significant assets of a company. They interact with clients, define the company’s work culture, and drive performance and revenue. Yet, most companies worldwide struggle to retain their top employees. A recent report in Forbes magazine suggests that nearly 70% of the employees leave their company as they don’t receive enough recognition and appreciation.

Recognition helps employees see that their company values them and their contributions to the success of their team and the company overall. Employee rewards are an important and powerful factor in any employee experience, and the space has evolved rapidly in the past year, especially in remote and hybrid workspaces. In this webinar, we have Sricharan C from WazirX, India’s largest cryptocurrency and Bhavya Arora from Outplay, one of India’s leading sales engagement platforms, along with Kartik Mandaville from Springworks discussing acing the employee recognition and engagement space in remote and hybrid work setups.

Background checks help businesses verify candidates during the hiring process. Every time a business hires a new employee, it is an investment. Conducting background checks on potential employees and volunteers should be a major part of every organization’s business process. Background checks can help reduce the risk of criminal activities such as violence, abuse and theft. They can also verify the information on an applicant’s resume or job application and assist organizations in deciding if an individual is the right person for the job. Employers have a legal obligation to protect their business, staff, and customers from any foreseeable act of an employee or volunteer.

How talent leaders are navigating a changing market

: Saaquib Dawoodani, Head of India Recruitment at Revolut and Aashish Punjabi, Chief of Staff at Juno

This rapidly changing hiring landscape means recruiting teams are having to constantly shift their strategies and master new skills. But while this presents challenges, there’s good news too: According to talent leaders, talent acquisition’s role in navigating the pandemic and Great Reshuffle has given them a meaningful seat at the table and more influence in the C-suite. 

We are sitting down with Saaquib and Aashish to understand how talent leaders are navigating the uncertain hiring market going into 2023.

Onboarding as the key to drive employee retention in 2023

: Omkar Pradhan, Associate Director - People, Talent and Culture at GoKwik and Saurabh Kale, Senior Director - People & Culture at Talent500.

While Your organization most likely has an orientation program that reviews operating procedures, outlines policies, details job responsibilities, and describes how to use the employee portal. What is often forgotten are systems for ingraining the new employee into the company culture, a process known as onboarding. A successful onboarding program increases employee satisfaction, retention, and engagement, which results in a more collaborative and productive organization.

To train or not to train, that’s the question: breaking through excuses

: Bhavya Arora, Talent & Culture Partner at Outplay and Manish Kumar, Talent & Culture at Flint

While times are tough and budgets are under the microscope, it would be wise for organizations to take a strategic and thoughtful approach. But you will run a bigger risk in not developing your people – which has all sorts of hidden costs that ultimately impact the organization’s profitability and success. The strategic thinker will invest for the future.
