Authors365 makes it easy for Employee Resource Groups to bring world class author events to build community, provide support, and contribute to personal and professional development. Our events are highly engaging and are easy to incorporate into ERGs that make team members say "wow."
Our author talks offer ERGs the opportunity to collaborate across departments and functions, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. By connecting groups of employees within the organization, Authors365 programming helps drive Employee Resource Groups collective impact, supporting both inclusive environments and the organizations they serve. For example, as one of Silicon Valley's first female African American CEOs, Shellye Archambeau's talk on her book Unapologetically Ambitious is a perfect collaboration opportunity for Women in Business, BIPOC and Young Professionals ERGs.
Our author talks feature a diverse and engaging lineup of live speakers, with a commitment to ensuring that at least half of our authors come from underrepresented groups, including women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and veterans. This focus on diversity enriches the experience, bringing a wide range of perspectives and voices to the forefront, while maintaining the world-class quality of our live events. By prioritizing inclusivity, we offer employees the opportunity to learn from speakers who reflect a broad spectrum of experiences and expertise.
Author visits offer employees exclusive access to unique experiences they can't find elsewhere, providing valuable insights directly from experts in their fields. These events create a memorable opportunity for learning and personal growth, giving employees something truly special that enhances both their professional development and overall job satisfaction.
Our author events foster connection by bringing people together across teams and geographies. These events create a shared experience that encourages collaboration and interaction, allowing employees to engage with one another, regardless of location. Whether in the same office or spread across different regions, author visits provide a unique opportunity to build relationships and strengthen the sense of community within the organization.
Author365 events can be used as a kickoff or concluding event for book club programs and book discussions. In addition to discussion guides, we provide an on-demand online course and other resources for team members to learn how to be effective book discussion leaders. This helps extend your team and empowers employees to develop their facilitation skills.
We know how busy you are which is why we make our program easy to implement. In addition to managing all the logistics and hosting each author event, we support you to tailor the program to reach your goals. Authors365 can be fully plug and play and require almost no staff time or we can work with you to tailor the program for your specific needs.
Each month, Authors365 will livestream three virtual events with bestselling authors. The events will be an hour long and include the author sharing key ideas from their book(s) and time for questions. Employees from all Authors365 members will be able to tune into each talk to hear live from the thought leader. Recordings will be available for staff to watch later if they can't watch live.
Live events with authors stream virtually so staff can access them anywhere in the world. Participants can submit & upvote questions, participate in polls and join the live chat.
We know how busy HR and L&D staff are. We facilitate every author talk, email staff details of upcoming events and handle all user support. This is as close to plug and play as it gets.
Each event includes a detailed description and learning objectives so staff know which author talks will be most valuable for them and teams can choose events to watch together.
We provide a number of resources for each talk to help take the learning beyond that day's event including group discussion guides, skill building workbooks and additional resources.
