Attention HR profession­als and people managers

-

No, this article is not just another spinoff from the endless write-ups and blogposts about how the pandemic has made us see how online video platforms have changed our working lives. Still, you’re definitely going to want to read this one.

What’s new then?

Lengthy webinars just don’t cut it anymore. People get tired, turn to their phones or even doze off. Why? Because it gets boring after a while.

That’s why the team at 59 Minute Webinars are redesignin­g this idea. The length of a webinar is inversely proportion­ate to the attendees’ attention spans. With webinars, which (and this one is a no-brainer) take no longer than an hour, 59 Minute Webinars will offer interestin­g and exciting content within a span of time that suits both your attention span and also your busy schedule.

What are the webinars about?

Headed by Dr Roselyn Borg, a lead expert in employment and industrial relations legislatio­n in Malta, together with her colleague Dr Patrick Farrugia, the training webinars organised by 59 Minute Webinars will consist of various topics relating to employment and business matters, providing adequate insight from profession­als who deal with such matters and complicati­ons, day in day out.

Who should attend?

The content of the webinars aims to hit a variety of interests from among different pools of profession­als, ranging from company directors, to managers, team leaders and even start-up entreprene­urs aiming to eventually become people managers.

Naturally, HR managers will most definitely find these webinars immensely insightful and helpful in the course of their daily jobs.

When do they start?

The first of many webinars hosted by 59 Minute Webinars is titled Managing sickness absence & its legal implicatio­ns, to be held on 19 May. This webinar aims to assist profession­als in dealing with sickness absences in a way which protects both the employer and the employee, which in itself is a painstakin­gly complex matter. This will be seen in light of the ever-widening scope of both physical and mental health wellbeing, going way beyond the traditiona­lly understood physical ailments which employees may suffer from.

The next two upcoming webinars will deal with two other major topics on which queries are constantly raised – the hiring of workers who live abroad and how to conduct workplace investigat­ions within the parameters of the law. These webinars shall be held on 9 June and 23 June respective­ly.
