Today, creating a transparent work environment is a critical requirement for sustaining a high-performance culture. It leads to higher employee engagement, and sparks innovation and builds trust, all of which are paramount to an organization’s financial success. Today’s leaders are feeling pressure from employees who are demanding a more transparent workplace.
What is transparency? How can organizations embrace it? What does transparency lead to and what value does it have?

MARCH 2019 ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

The U.S. and California economies remain on track to avoid a recession in 2019, though elevated risks abound. These risks point to key factors to watch as the latter part of the year unfolds. And the soft housing markets, jitters on Wall Street and trade disputes all point to uncertainties in 2019. One key to continued growth in Los Angeles is the health of the tech industry, and in particular the transformation of the entertainment industry with new technologies. The March 2019 UCLA Anderson Forecast presents an analysis of these and other issues with the rollout of its next report.

Annual Associate Symposium: Hosted by UCLA Executive Education
2018-10-23 08:30 - 14:30 | UCLA Executuve Education – Collins Center, 110 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA, 90095, United States
Hosted by UCLA Executive Education
Join us for an invitation-only event featuring three exciting topics presented by UCLA faculty Bob McCann and Janna Shadduck-Hernandez and attorney Kathleen Erskine of Cohen Williams LLP. Professor McCann will discuss the impact that effective communication can have on your organization and the implications for your personal leadership. Develop the knowledge, perspective, and skills needed to lead your team and produce tangible results. Understand and practice cross-cultural communications. We will learn how to create a framework for leading a multicultural team to high performance.

Professor Shadduck-Hernandez will present research findings from The Institute for Research on Labor and Employment on challenges of today’s 18 -29 years old Earners and Learners. These young workers are often working to support family members rather than have additional personal money for discretionary activities, as has been the practice in the past. Also, it is more difficult to find employment that will allow this generation to work and attend school. We will explore the issues these workers face, and discuss what employers can do to engage these workers today while developing the workforce of the future.

Ms. Erskine will discuss substance abuse and addiction in the workplace and the essential legal concepts surrounding an employee’s rights and employer’s obligations. She will provide an overview of how drug and alcohol abuse is treated under today’s laws, including the limitations placed on employees with substance use issues by the disability laws, which are generally protective of employees with physical and mental disabilities. Additionally, she will explain the basic legal framework related to drug testing, the impact of workplace drug policies and provide real-world employer examples including options in specific circumstances.

The day will involve a mix of faculty lecture, group conversation, and small-group simulations – lunch is provided.

DECEMBER 2017 ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

The equity bull market on Wall Street continues to roll along. Will stocks continue to rise in 2018, or is a major correction looming? Bond yields have been trading at historically low levels for nearly a decade. Will the era of low bond yields continue, or will interest rates normalize, sending 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yields to well above 3%? With wholesale changes in the Federal Reserve Board coming in 2018, will the Fed continue on its moderate pace toward interest rate normalization or will the markets be surprised?
