SUMMARY:Fostering & Sustaining a Healthy Culture in a Hybrid Workforce
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintAs companies calibrate the balance between remote and in-office work\, company cultures may be facing their greatest challenge in generations. \nTemporary work-from-home policies are maturing into more permanent hybrid work models with some mix of at-home and at-office schedules. 2/3’s of those employees that have been working at home during the pandemic want to continue to do so; 1/3 of those same employees say they will quit if forced to return to a central office to work. They’ve seen that remote work can work and do not want to return to having a daily commute which they view as a waste of time. \nMany of the elements that defined a company’s culture just a few years ago are much less effective today. The hybrid workplace requires a new approach for fostering and sustaining a healthy company culture. \nJoin Dr. Bob Nelson and Mario Tamayo as they share the 5 most important elements of fostering and sustaining any company culture in a hybrid work environment—and how you can ensure your team is productive\, collaborative\, and connected no matter where they are—or when they work. \nYou’ll discover: \n\nWhat the heck does hybrid mean anyways?\nThe rise and fall of the proverbial water cooler—and where connections are made today\nThe 5 most important factors for a healthy hybrid workforce\nWhy inclusion matters more than ever before\nHow to build relationships and maximize your team in a virtual world\nTechnology’s role in the future of workplace culture\n\nAll webinar registrants will receive a complimentary article “Engaging Employees Today: More Than Just Measurement” by Bob Nelson\, Ph.D. The first 100 webinar registrants will receive a complimentary copy of The Virtual Manager. All attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the presenters’ latest book\, Work Made Fun Gets Done!

SUMMARY:Getting it Right: Understanding the Impacts of DoD Cyber Compliance Enforcement
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintPrime contractors are encouraged to invite their suppliers (and especially the suppliers’ executives) to attend this webinar to learn more about what these impacts and liabilities mean for their future business. \nAs the DoD turns up the heat on defense contractors to ensure compliance with DFARS / NIST / CMMC cybersecurity requirements\, prime contractors and their suppliers are exposed to increasing impacts and liabilities. In Webinar 18\, the Cyber Collaboration Center welcomes former federal prosecutor Mr. Kenji Price\, who recently retired as the United States Attorney for the District of Hawaii\, and previously served as an Assistant US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. \nNow in private practice with McDermott Will & Emery\, Mr. Price will discuss the legal impacts and risks involved in DoD contractor cybersecurity regulatory compliance\, including matters relating to False Claims Act (FCA) and the lesser known “Christian Doctrine” that can place liability on contractors in certain cases even when clauses are omitted from their contracts.  Business executives\, owners and leaders should clearly  understand what is required to meet DFARS\, NIST and CMMC regulations\, and the impacts of not properly meeting compliance.  We’ll explore the importance of discernment and how to ensure primes correctly understand the risks associated with their management of supplier compliance. \nIn addition\, experts from eResilience will provide examples of how some primes are helping their suppliers get education and assistance to help them manage supplier risk. \nRegister \nPRESENTERS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKenji Price\nPartner\, McDermott Will & Emery \n\nKenji M.

SUMMARY:Harnessing Manufacturing Operations Management to Achieve Resilient Execution in Changing Times
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintIt’s no secret that in the last year and a half\, manufacturers across all industries have endured significant disruptions to production and supply. In these challenging times\, the goal is not to only survive\, but to emerge as a leader. To capitalize on opportunities presented by disruptions\, manufacturers must forego isolated\, inflexible solutions in favor of a connected\, scalable\, and sustainable platform approach to manufacturing execution. This platform approach will digitally transform shop floor operations. \nA strong Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) environment on the shop floor is at the heart of digital transformation\, as this is where the product\, business\, and operational functions intersect. As the current business climate has shown us all\, the supply chain can move quickly—the question really comes down to how quickly your organization can respond\, anticipate\, and pivot around the new and next normal. \nIn this live webinar hosted by IndustryWeek\, join Mike Bradford from Dassault Systèmes to explore: \n\nResilient execution of manufacturing operations in changing times\nOperational efficiency in manufacturing execution leveraging Manufacturing Operations Management\nSimultaneously maintaining high levels of throughput\, quality\, and customer service\nHow to balance production in the context of a dynamic and fast moving supply chain\n\nThroughout this fast-moving webinar Mike will be showcasing how combining your approach around Planning & Scheduling with your Manufacturing Operations Management system can unlock production innovation\, increase manufacturing agility\, and ultimately can reduce cost\, save time and better ensure deliverability. \nRegister \nBy submitting my information\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor Business Media’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor Business Media’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Tips for a Better Investigation and Root Cause: Going Deeper Than Human Error
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintThe process of incident investigations is a common practice that all safety professionals are experienced with\, yet many of our investigations end up with the same root cause\, human error. Most incidents can be tied to human error and although it is an accurate use for root cause\, to make a change towards preventative safety actions you must look at additional layers. \nThe definition of a root cause is best said by the organization TapRoot as “The absence of a best practice or the failure to apply knowledge that would have prevented a problem.” Applying this explanation of a root cause\, human error can be better used as a casual factor in the investigation process. The use of different approaches can help reach a deeper level of investigation that can gravitate a safety program towards prevention versus correction. \nTakeaways: \n\nTop 5 tips for Investigations\nHow to avoid human error as a root cause\nThe benefits of using dashboards\nWays to conduct interviews\n\nRegister \nBy submitting my information\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor Business Media’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor Business Media’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.
