Schedule Webinars

Coordinate the Logistics for Each Webinar

1. Identify the Target Audience:
   • Global Workforce: Understand the geographical distribution of SayPro’s workforce. This includes identifying the time zones in which employees are located.
   • Availability: Gather information on the typical working hours and availability of the target audience. This can be done through surveys or by consulting with department heads.
2. Select Optimal Times:
   • Time Zone Considerations: Choose times that accommodate multiple time zones. For example, if the workforce is spread across different continents, consider scheduling webinars at times that fall within standard working hours for most regions.
   • Avoid Conflicts: Avoid scheduling webinars during times that conflict with major holidays, company events, or other important activities. This helps ensure maximum participation.
3. Use Scheduling Tools:
   • Calendar Integration: Utilize scheduling tools that integrate with employees’ calendars (e.g., Outlook, Google Calendar). This makes it easier for participants to add the webinar to their schedules.
   • Time Zone Converters: Use time zone converters to ensure the selected times are accurately communicated to all participants.
4. Flexible Scheduling:
   • Multiple Sessions: If possible, offer multiple sessions of the same webinar at different times. This allows participants to choose the session that best fits their schedule.
   • Recording and Playback: Record the webinars and make them available for playback. This ensures that those who cannot attend live sessions can still benefit from the content.
5. Communication and Invitations:
   • Advance Notice: Send out invitations well in advance of the webinar date. This gives participants ample time to plan and adjust their schedules.
   • Clear Information: Include all relevant details in the invitations, such as the date, time, time zone, and how to join the webinar. Provide links to add the event to their calendars.
   • Reminders: Send reminder emails as the webinar date approaches. This helps ensure participants do not forget and can make any necessary arrangements to attend.
6. Technical Setup:
   • Platform Selection: Choose a reliable webinar platform that supports the required features (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex). Ensure it can handle the expected number of participants.
   • Test Runs: Conduct test runs to ensure the technical setup is working correctly. This includes testing audio, video, screen sharing, and any interactive features.
   • Support: Have technical support available during the webinar to address any issues that may arise.
7. Feedback and Adjustments:
   • Post-Webinar Surveys: Collect feedback from participants on the scheduling and overall experience. Use this feedback to make adjustments for future webinars.
   • Continuous Improvement: Regularly review the scheduling process and make improvements based on feedback and lessons learned.

By following these steps, SayPro can effectively coordinate the logistics for each webinar, ensuring they are scheduled at times that accommodate the global workforce and align with the target audience’s availability. This approach maximizes participation and ensures a smooth and successful webinar experience.

Topic Selection Process

• Brainstorming Sessions: Facilitate brainstorming sessions with all stakeholders to generate a wide range of topic ideas. Encourage creative thinking and open discussion.
• Evaluation Criteria: Establish criteria for evaluating topics, such as relevance to goals, timeliness, potential impact, and participant interest. This helps in prioritizing the most valuable topics.
• Topic Prioritization: Use the evaluation criteria to rank the topics. Consider conducting surveys or polls to gather input from the broader workforce on their preferences.

Alignment with Learning and Development Goals

• Skill Development: Ensure the topics support the development of key skills identified in SayPro’s strategy. For example, if technical skills are a priority, topics might include “Advanced Data Analytics” or “Cybersecurity Best Practices.”
• Career Progression: Choose topics that help employees advance their careers. This could include “Career Pathways in SayPro” or “Networking and Professional Growth.”
• Knowledge Gaps: Address any identified knowledge gaps within the workforce. Select topics that provide valuable information to fill these gaps, such as “Emerging Technologies in Our Industry.”

Finalize Topics

• Review and Approval: Present the prioritized list of topics to key stakeholders for final approval. Ensure there is consensus and alignment with organizational goals.
• Assign Leads: Designate leads for each webinar topic. These individuals will be responsible for developing the content, coordinating with speakers, and managing logistics.

Communication and Promotion

• Internal Communication: Inform the workforce about the selected topics through internal channels. Provide an overview of the upcoming webinars and their objectives.
• Marketing and Promotion: Develop a plan to promote the webinars and generate interest. Use SayPro’s communication channels, such as email newsletters, social media, and the company intranet.
