Join us for an
interactive forum to learn and share best practices around trends in workplace
learning and performance:
Leadership
Development- Ivette
Ruiz, Learning and Development Consultant, Yale New Haven Health
System (YNHHS), will share how within a healthcare setting they
identified potential frontline leaders, developed strategies and competencies to
bridge the gaps and created an environment of learning and growth through their
program.
Social Learning &
Technologies- Adam
Weisblatt, Learning Technology Specialist, FactSet, will discuss future
trends in the social learning space; what types of LMS technologies are
employees using; what business groups are most likely to collaborate on social
learning tools. Adam will share what the latest news is about
these social learning tools and what they are tweeting about!
Mentoring- Kimberly Bates-McCarl, Talent
Leader, previously with Thomson Reuters, will share creating and
sustaining successful mentoring programs. What are the elements
needed and what kind of format works? She will share critical do’s
and don’ts to watch out for and facilitate this timely discussion on
mentoring.
Employee
Engagement-
Ross Tartell, Learning Leader North America, GE Capital Real Estate, has
recently published several articles on employee engagement. We
know from a Towers Watson survey nearly two-thirds of US employees are not fully
engaged in their work and are less productive as a result. Ross
will present & facilitate a discussion on this critical aspect of work, “It
is all about the Manager!”
Come engage with learning and
development leaders, share your expertise and learn about the latest trends. You
will have the opportunity to participate in two different topic
discussions. Don’t miss this opportunity to build your network and
expand your expertise!
