Looking forward to sharing our experiences in building #gAlumni!

I’m looking forward to being part of this conversation! Sign up to hear more about the success in growing the #gAlumni Network! Thanks for hosting Emma Sinclair MBE Charlie Palmer.

?? Coming up on Thursday December 12! Our event 'How To Secure C-Suite Sponsorship for an Alumni Program' will explore creating an alumni community as an essential strategic initiative, as experienced through the lens of Genentech, part of the Roche Group. ??Without C-suite buy-in, even the best alumni program risks falling short. So how do you get it on to the executive radar, align the program with broader business goals, and report on its impact in ways that keep leadership engaged? With thanks to guests Cori Davis, Rhona O'Leary, Elizabeth Majoch and Joseph Ham-Silvestre, MBA, we'll be getting tips on: ? The key strategies that will help you gain executive backing ? Practical tips for companies new to alumni programs on how to align with executive goals ??How to track, measure and report on outcomes in ways that sustain executive engagement Register here: https://lnkd.in/eqjiXi7K

???? Positive Offboarding: Is it possible to say goodbye to employees well? ? Yes! We know there is. Ok ... so it clearly isn't always the case ... but if you have to make employees redundant, why not work very hard to try and extend as much meaningful ongoing support and community via a digital alumni network to people as they are leaving? ?? Give your corporate alumni access to the learning and development you offered them whilst at work .... through an alumni network. CV guidance, access to perks and discounts and a sense of community can also be one way, at a difficult time, to provide meaningful value add to people job hunting. Former colleagues, for example, can be source of introductions to new roles and having a way to search our directory to see which former employees work at companies you're prospecting or interviewing at can be invaluable. ?? 2024 has seen a high level of redundancies with the potential for more in Q1 2025. Even the typically unstoppable world of tech has seen huge waves of reductions in employee numbers. In August, Intel Corporation sent shockwaves through the market by announcing a 15% reduction in its global workforce—roughly 15,000 jobs. Just days later, Cisco announced plans to lay off 7% of its employees, marking its second round of job cuts this year as the company shifts focus to rapidly growing areas like artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. Earlier in February 2024, Cisco laid off more than?4,000 employees. An old but gold piece here: https://lnkd.in/eqRs3r8G
