The Challenges

Even with near full employment, organizations today are faced with business challenges that may require shifting priorities and significant change . Given the recent volatility in trade, stock markets, and politics, organizations will need to reshape and retool for the future to compete globally.

Another challenge includes an aging workforce population that is planning for retirement. Within the next few years a record number of employees will reach retirement age and many are not prepared financially or mentally for this new phase of their life. If employees postpone their retirement decisions because of uncertainty in the market or a lack of savings and preparation, organizations will be faced with even more difficulties.

Transition Planning

The stark reality is that organizations today need to plan for ways to help current employees exit the organization as gracefully and positively as possible.

Failure to have an adequate plan can mean increased risk and liability. These risks can include:

Damage to an organization’s image and brand
Threatened lawsuits, settlements, and penalties
Increased SUTA rates (State Unemployment Tax Assessment)
Decreased motivation and productivity from the remaining team members
Increased turnover of the remaining team

Today’s most valuable workers (the ones you want to keep) are constantly being bombarded by competitors and recruiters to jump ship. How you take care of your transitioning employees can become a prime factor in these employees’ decision to stay or leave.

In our outplacement and consultation practice we are often asked to help organizations deal with specific reduction in force or site closure events. While we are eager to help at that critical moment of need, we often recommend that organizations be prepared to take a more strategic view.

Without an effective transition plan as part of this overall strategic reshaping effort, organizations can be blindsided by some of the risks mentioned above and be in a reactive rather than a proactive mode.

Can Technology and Social Media Help Facilitate Change?

Many organizations are still using outdated resources and traditional outplacement partners to help with their transition strategies even though they may have significantly modernized their own recruitment and selection processes.

Today, recruiters, placement firms, and organizations with cloud-based talent management systems are leveraging technology with significant returns in terms of results and cost savings. Our research indicates it’s time for a new approach for transition strategies that can use the latest technology and social media advances.

“How to write for business is a skill that we are asked for again and again by our clients,” stated Jill Dillenburg, Vice President of Sales at Prositions, Inc. “What I love about this program is the way it’s presented. Every skill is shown with an example – it makes it very easy for writers at all levels to pick up new techniques or sharpen skills they already possess.”

The ideas and techniques demonstrated in this program have been field-tested in hundreds of workshops and courses for business people, public relations professionals, corporate communicators, and nonprofit leaders. It was designed to give employees a complete foundation for effective business writing in a world that has succumbed to text-speak and jargon.

“The truth is that many employees who are joining organizations today lack good writing skills,” explained Robin Salsberry, President at Prositions, Inc. “By producing this new training series in easy-to-follow micro-videos that play on any computer or mobile device, we’ve made it easy for learners to conveniently access the videos at any time or use them as just-in-time support when they have to create and edit documents.”

The entire Getting Real About Workplace Violence training program aligns with the American National Standard—the guidance published by ASIS International and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) for best practices addressing workplace violence prevention and response.

“A vital component of any leader’s mission is to develop and promote a safe and productive work environment,” stated Jim Sporleder, subject matter expert and narrator of Getting Real About Workplace Violence, “Helping managers and supervisors understand their critical role in preventing and surviving incidents of workplace violence may not only save lives but also help diffuse potential situations from escalating in the first place.”

The new module helps managers and supervisors:

Become familiar with the concepts of threats and threatening behavior
Gain a deeper understanding of how stress relates to the progression to violence
Know the 3 critical questions to ask about behaviors of concern
Understand how domestic violence relates to workplace violence

“We now have this program available in a wide variety of formats so all organizations can provide this vital training quickly and effectively no matter where their employees are located,” stated Frank Russell, CEO of Prositions, Inc. “No other violence prevention and survival course, we know of, offers so many different delivery options.”

DES MOINES, IOWA (PRWEB) JANUARY 24, 2018

Prositions, Inc. announces the release of Getting Real About Workplace Violence. This new training program includes simple, yet effective steps to survive acts of extreme violence in the workplace, and more importantly identifies early warning signs that could prevent violence from happening in the first place. The training content in Getting Real About Workplace Violence aligns with published guidance by the American National Standards Institute, which is the standard advised by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) for best practices addressing workplace violence prevention and response. It was produced by Mark Forman and security industry veteran, Jim Sporleder.

“Life isn’t risk-free,” stated Jim Sporleder, subject matter expert and narrator of Getting Real About Workplace Violence, “But you don’t have to leave the risk of violence to chance alone. You are the key to both prevention and survival. Getting Real About Workplace Violence was carefully produced to inform, rather than overwhelm. Thinking about an active shooter is scary, and we’ve been very intentional about discussing it in a respectful way.”

This comprehensive course package covers the three most important aspects of workplace violence: awareness, prevention, and response. With 18 minutes of high-quality video and engaging training materials, the program will help every participant:

Define and understand what workplace violence is
Sharpen their awareness of potential threats of workplace violence
Know how to respond to these concerning behaviors
Recognize, understand, and respond to the potential impact of domestic violence at work
Remember the appropriate response options to survive an act of extreme violence

Getting Real About Workplace Violence is available in classroom, eLearning, and micro-video formats. To request a free preview of the full program, please call (515) 864-7200 or visit: http://prositions.com/getting-real-about-workplace-violence-active-shooter-training/.

Workplace Harassment and Abusive Conduct DES MOINES, IOWA (PRWEB) DECEMBER 5, 2017

Prositions, Inc., a leading provider of training content, has worked diligently with subject matter expert and producer, MYCA:Learning, to bring this brand new harassment prevention training course to life. Workplace Harassment and Abusive Conduct was developed to be used with all employees and also has a leadership track to help supervisors understand their critical role in harassment prevention. The eLearning course contains short video chunks, animated segments, and real-life scenarios. It provides a compelling look at how to identify the various forms of harassment and what can be done to prevent them.

“Given the recent press focusing on several high-profile incidents, sexual misconduct and harassment prevention have become important topics for discussion and training in all organizations,” said Frank Russell, CEO of Prositions, Inc. “While this attention is overdue and laudable, organizations need to do more than just ‘check the box’ with their harassment prevention training; they need to focus on fundamental culture and behavior change. Our new training program is designed to squarely address this need.”

Workplace Harassment and Abusive Conduct is an eLearning program that includes 55 minutes of Core content and an additional 65 minutes of content for supervisors in the Leadership series.

The Core content for all employees covers:

Sexual Harassment and Hostile Workplace
Protected Characteristics
LGBTQIA Harassment
Abusive Conduct
How to Stop Prohibited Behavior
Recognize and Prevent Retaliation

The Leadership series for supervisors covers:

Preventing Retaliation
Receiving a Complaint
Intervention: Handling a bully
Intervention: “In my Culture”
Intervention: “Good Friend”
Managing Your Team
Third Party Harassment
Knowing your Role as a Supervisor

“As HR professionals, it’s our job to make sure that training and policy are in place to prevent and handle harassment of any kind,” stated Robin Salsberry, President and HR Executive at Prositions, Inc. “There is no time like the present to make sure employees at all levels know how to prevent, report, and handle harassment in the workplace. This new program does an excellent job of covering everything an organization’s staff needs to know.”

The Workplace Harassment and Abusive Conduct eLearning course is a great addition to new or existing training initiatives because it contains the newest information and laws surrounding harassment prevention. The course can be hosted on Prositions’ secure Learning Management System (LMS) (with an organization’s custom branding) or on their own internal LMS.

Interested organizations can request a free demo of Workplace Harassment and Abusive Conduct by visiting the website or calling (515) 864-7200.
