Building Performance and Productivity Through
Employee Engagement - Management / Leadership Training Seminar
Program Description:
Low Employee Engagement Is Reaching Epidemic Levels. And the Costs Are Adding
Up.
Study after study shows that poor employee engagement is the leading cause of
subpar results in today’s workplaces. In financial terms, the hit to the bottom
line can be significant!
So what’s the dissatisfaction about? Unengaged employees report they ...
• Don’t trust that their managers will “walk
their talk”
• Don’t get to use their strongest skills on the job
• Don’t get a voice in how to do things or in setting goals
• Don’t understand how they fit into the larger mission of the organization
• Feel that their contributions are going unnoticed
• Doubt that career advancement is available to them with their current employer
When Employees Don’t Feel Like They Matter, They Check Out. You CAN’T Allow
This to Happen!
As a manager, you must find and tap into the strengths of every individual on
your team. You must help your people feel included, respected, and excited to be
a part of something larger than themselves. You must create an
engagement-focused culture that brings purpose and meaning to the day-to-day
activities that your employees are engaged in. They want to feel assured that
they’re working in a great organization, for a great manager, with the promise
of an even brighter future ahead. It’s a big job, but it can be done!
