The Business Case for Remote Work After the Pandemic
September 23rd, 2020
HCG is pleased to invite you to a complimentary webinar on The Business Case for Remote Work After the Pandemic. Organizational leaders are rethinking the ‘where’ of work in a post-pandemic world. Most are looking forward with a new attitude toward work-from-home. While many were skeptical in the past, the global work-from-home experiment is causing them to question whether they need all the office space they thought they did just a few short months ago. More than 70% of both managers and employees say they have been very successful at home and nine out of ten U.S. office workers say they want to continue working there, at least some of the time, when the crisis is over.

Don't let Teamwork Get in the Way of Agility
September 16th, 2020
HCG is pleased to invite you to a complimentary webinar on how to Rightsize Teamwork.
Effective teamwork has never been more important than it is today, with organizations facing volatile economic conditions and significant business threats. We have come to believe that working in teams with high collaboration helps companies tackle these challenges head-on – that this sparks innovation, enables agility, and achieves better outcomes. However, the reality is that teamwork usually fails to deliver on its promise; and in fact, in many cases, it actually undermines performance. PDRI’s new research recently published in the Harvard Business Review, shows that the most agile and competitively successful companies do something different – they Rightsize Teamwork. They clarify what good teamwork means in each context and judiciously select the right people to contribute, at the right time, so work gets done efficiently. Join us for practical ideas and examples on how to Rightsize Teamwork with your teams and organization. |

Pay and Performance Management: Are they two sides of the
same dysfunctional coin? Sep 19th, 2019
HCG is pleased to invite you to a complimentary webinar on performance management and it’s link to compensation. Much has been written recently about the problems organizations are facing with their performance management (PM) processes. Many solutions have been proposed over the years. Most had early nominal success followed by head scratches, a return to widespread irritation and more rationalization from HR and Line Management. It is unclear whether or not the latest reforms such as continuous PM, more feedback, crowdsourcing feedback, and separating evaluation from development will meet the same fate. The success of the programs linked to PM are on equally dubious footing. A large percentage of employers say their merit pay and bonus programs aren’t doing what they were designed to do…drive and reward individual performance.

Employee Selection Practices for Low Literacy CandidatesSeptember 22nd, 2016
