HRDQ-U In Review

Episode 37: Measuring the Success of Employee Engagement

In this episode, we sit down with Jack J. Phillips, the chairman of ROI Institute, Inc., and a globally recognized expert on accountability, measurement, and evaluation. With a background in HR, training, and development, Jack has consulted for Fortune 500 companies and major global organizations, authored over 75 books, and developed the revolutionary ROI Methodology.
Jack shares insights into the changing landscape of Learning and Development (L&D), highlighting the impact of transformative technology like AI and the importance of upskilling and reskilling employees. He discusses trends such as personalized learning and the adoption of data-driven decision-making in talent analytics.
Excitingly, Jack recently published the 50th book with ATD, "Designing Virtual Learning for Application & Impact," and another new book, "Proving the Value of Leadership Development." These books provide real-world applications of the ROI Methodology for practitioners in the learning and leadership development spaces.
Reflecting on our recent webinar, "Measuring the Success of Employee Engagement," Jack emphasizes the importance of measuring engagement and introduces the ROI Methodology as a global evaluation system. The key takeaway is the monetization of engagement and its alignment with business impact.
As we dive deeper into the content, Jack anticipates and answers key questions related to measuring the impact of engagement programs, utilizing the ROI Methodology to stand out in a competitive environment, managing evaluation with budget constraints, and building a robust evaluation capability.
Join us for an insightful conversation with Jack J. Phillips as we explore the evolving landscape of L&D, the impact of technology, and the strategic approach to measuring the success of employee engagement.

Episode 33: Preventing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

Today, we have a compelling discussion on a crucial topic – "Preventing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace."
Our guest for today is Peter Garber, a retired Human Resource Professional with over 35 years of experience, including two decades as the Manager of EEO for a Fortune 200 corporation. Peter was responsible for shaping harassment policies during his extensive career.
In this episode, Peter and I cover key takeaways from our recent webinar on preventing sexual harassment at work. We explore alarming statistics and their impact on victims today, along with practical steps organizations can take to create a safe and inclusive workplace culture.
Peter shares eye-opening statistics on sexual harassment, such as the estimated 98% of U.S. organizations having a policy, the prevalence of unreported incidents, and the disturbing trend of retaliation against those who come forward. We discuss the decline in reported cases and its potential implications, emphasizing the importance of addressing the issue head-on.
Our conversation goes on to explore the most crucial steps organizations can take to prevent sexual harassment, including clear policy communication, regular training, and effective enforcement. We also delve into the growing challenge of addressing harassment in remote work settings and the need for updated policies and education.
Tune in to discover why victims may hesitate to report harassment, the consequences for organizations that fail to address complaints, and whether victims should confront their harassers before making formal complaints. Peter provides valuable insights and recommendations for creating a workplace where all employees feel heard and protected.
If you're passionate about fostering a safe and respectful work environment, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we navigate the complexities of preventing sexual harassment in the workplace.
