R-E-S-P-E-C-T IN THE WORKPLACE
|
|
That is what you told us you need!
|
|
A recent Wynford survey revealed that
it is the # 1 critical area that organizations have identified for
employee development.
Since learning is one of the major
drivers for engaging employees, NOW is the time to provide training
that will pay off when labour market pressures increase again.
|
|
The
Wynford Group is Pleased to Present:
a
RESPECT IN THE WORKPLACE SEMINAR
|
|
DO YOU HAVE A RESPECTFUL WORKPLACE?

As a participant you will learn to:
•
Assess your organization or work team in terms of “workplace climate”.
•
Understand the legal aspects and implications of harassment, discrimination, and other equity issues.
•
“Walk” in another person’s shoes (understand their perspective).
•
Understand how stereotypes, myths and prejudgments filter our new information and experiences.
•
Identify and address the barriers to respectful communication.
•
Develop practical tools for displacing disrespectful habits and behaviors.
•
Develop organizational expectations and programs to promote respect at work.
•
Develop practical strategies to sustain a respectful workplace for all employees.
|
|
HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT?
The Wynford Group’s approach to skill development is a participative one; therefore our training formats focus on involving participants
directly in the learning process through:
•
SKILL ASSESSMENT to identify current skill levels using a broad suite of assessment tools.
•
EXPERIENTIAL
LEARNING SITUATIONS that involve participants in active learning.

The
Changing Landscape of Long-Term Incentives
Date:
October
13, 2004
Time: 7:00-8:00am
Registration
8:00-10:30am
Panel Discussion
Location: Nexen
Building
, Calgary, Alberta
With
growing concerns over dilution, increasing pressure on
corporate governance, mounting scrutiny from institutional
shareholders and the possible elimination of the accounting
advantage associated with stock options, many companies are
rethinking the design of their long-term incentive programs. A
panel discussion on these and other issues surrounding
long-term incentives and the program redesigns that have
recently occurred at Petro-Canada, ARC Energy Trust and
Talisman Energy Inc. will be discussed.
SPEAKERS
Fiona Macdonald, Managing
Principal, Towers Perrin
Fiona
Macdonald will discuss catalysts for change in the area of
long-term incentives as well as the types of programs being
implemented. She will also discuss company-specific issues and
more general circumstances to consider when redesigning
long-term incentive plans. These considerations will include
fixed versus variable accounting, cash flow impact, corporate
and individual tax levels and timing, and most importantly,
what performance message you send to participants, and to
investors, when you change from stock options to something
else.
Elaine
Noel-Bentley, Senior Director, Total Compensation, Petro-Canada
Petro-Canada
recently moved from a "pure" plain vanilla stock
option long-term incentive program to one with modified option
terms. In addition, the company implemented a mid-term
incentive program. She will discuss the rationale for these
changes, features of the modified option plan and the mid-term
incentive program as well as lessons learned and challenges in
both the design and implementation of these programs.
David
Carey, Vice-President, Business Development, ARC Energy Trust
In
the spring of 2004, the board of directors of ARC Energy Trust
approved the adoption of a trust unit award incentive plan,
which authorizes the company to grant awards of restricted
trust units and performance trust units. The new unit award
incentive plan replaced the existing trust unit appreciation
rights incentive plan. As a member of the panel, he will
discuss the key drivers that led to changing the organizations
long-term incentive plan, key features of the new plan and
implementation challenges encountered along the way.
Brenda
Mickelson, Team Leader of Compensation & HRMS, Talisman
Energy Inc.
In
2003, Talisman Energy redesigned their employee stock option
program to include tandem stock appreciation rights in
response to shareholder dilution concerns, and the company's
move to expense stock options. The change required human
resources, finance, tax, and legal involvement within a number
of regulatory regions across the world. She will share lessons
learned and challenges involved in bringing the various
interests together across a global organization to change,
implement, and communicate the redesign.

A
few years ago we were complaining about IT skills shortage,
not enough hours in the day and too many IT initiatives
emerging from our business development offices. We then
experienced "a bit" of a downturn in IT investments
and suffered the relevant impact. In the last few months,
events seems to be slowly improving, there has been a slight
upturn in IT activities and spending. A number of questions in
many people's minds include when will we experience a return
to normal levels of IT demand and how is the current downturn
affecting compensation.
Join
us on February 5, 2003 when Gail Evans will review economic
indicators, and identify the strategies that technology based
organizations are using to help soften the bumps in the
current environment. Gail's presentation will provide an
overview of the following:
-
Trends
from The Wynford Group's Information & Advanced
Technology Survey 2002.
-
The
Alberta Advantage
-
Salary

Distinguishing
Your Organization From the Competition: The Next
Challenge
In
addition to ensuring that we have the cash right, high
performing organizations must also focus on the broader
needs and wants of employees and the
"branding" of our organizations so they stand
out in the minds of those we week to attract. To
achieve this, there are some critical questions to
address:
-
How
do organizations create an environment that provides
a competitive advantage in their market?
-
How
do your know what will make a difference to both
present and future employees?
-
What
can your organization do that others can't
replicate?

Building
a Compelling Value Proposition for High Technology
Organizations
Will
a "soft landing" recession make it easier to
hire and retain talent? Perhaps in the competition
for the many - but not for the few who really drive high
performance organizations. For top talent there
will always be a market supply/demand imbalance.
Key questions are:
-
What
are the components of the "deal" that make
a difference?
-
What
can your organization do that others can't
replicate?
-
Which
levers do you invest in and when?
Paul
Britton of JOHNSON
SMITH INTERNATIONAL will lead a discussion on
how to address these questions and the continuing market
imbalance. He will share research findings and
frameworks that address the broader question of
"How organizations create a value proposition that
provides a competitive advantage in their market." |
