Leaders are constantly searching for ways to improve employee engagement. There are studies that indicate that anywhere between 70 – 85% of the workforce is not engaged. If we are to believe those numbers, we need to know what employment engagement is and how we can get better at developing a culture of engagement with our teams. This interactive workshop will assist you in gaining that understanding and provide tools to assist you in that development.
Participants will gain the following outcomes:
- Understand the connection between the “Why” and employee engagement
- Discover the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and how that increases your ability to work with motivational differences
- Recognize the age-old myths about employee engagement
- Discuss strategies to develop a culture of engagement
