Interview Skills for Hiring Managers, Thursday Feb. 16, 6 - 7PM New York Time, Friday Feb 17, 10 - 11AM Sydney Time.
Bad hires can cost your company a significant amount of money. If you factor in both hard and soft costs, you can spend from 50% - 200% of an employee’s annual salary to replace them, depending on experience level, skill set, scarcity of talent, and other factors.
But it doesn’t just cost money to replace a bad hire, it costs to keep those who don't want to be there as well. Hewitt estimates that a dis-engaged employee loses up to 1/3 of their annual salary in productivity.
Join Kim Seeling Smith on this very entertaining webinar where I will give you an interview framework and 5 practical strategies that will exponentially increase you or your hiring managers' success rate in hiring the right staff.

Communication Skills for Managers, Thursday Mar. 8, 6 - 7PM New York Time, Friday Mar. 9, 10 - 11AM Sydney Time.
Both Leadership and Management Skills have their place in the right time and context. And reduced to their simplest level, both are dependent on your ability to communicate. In fact, the inability to effectively communicate with your staff is the root cause for almost all employee turnover.
This webinar will give you a framework for effective communication that will help you uncover your employees' motivations, strengths and career aspirations to not only increase their job satisfaction, but also their productivity.
This framework consists of the following steps:
- Frequency: How often to schedule structured and unstructured catch ups.
- Objective of Job: How to craft KPI’s which are relevant to the company and department, actionable and accountable.
- Career Development: how to understand what the staff member wants to grow within their career and how you can provide those opportunities internally instead of having them look externally - even in the smallest of companies.
- Underlying Motivations: Dan Pink synopsizes this concept brilliantly in his book Drive. He says everyone is motivated by three things; Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose. Learn how to discover your staff’s motivations and how to provide what they need in each of these areas.
- Strengths: According to Gallop, teams whose members play to their Strengths most of the time achieve higher job satisfaction and lower employee turnover.
