HR Happy Hour - Episode 50 - 'The World Cup and the Workplace'
Thursday June 17, 2010 - 8PM EDT - Call in 646-378-1086
You may have caught something in the news, or on TV, or the interwebs - there is a little sporting event going on called 'The World Cup'.
Yes, the big soccer/football once every four years extravaganza in on again. It is estimated that over 2 billion people will watch some of the World Cup tournament this year. It was just reported that the big England vs. USA match drew TV ratings in the US that exceeded the first four games of the NBA finals.
So chances are pretty good that your company, your customers, your employees are going to get involved in the excitement in some way. How do major sporting and social events impact the workplace, how can organizations and leaders work creatively to take advantage of the excitement, should you give absent, late, or sluggish employees a pass during or after a big match? Do national teams take on the personality and the 'brand' of their nations, or does the perception of the team influence the perception of the nation, and by extension its products and services and people?
Join us this week with our special panel of international guests, Andy Headworth from Sirona Consulting and Felix Wetzel from Jobsite as we talk World Cup and the Workplace.
