COURSE DESCRIPTION: Engaged employees are your secret weapon in a recession. Here’s why: In good times, low-performance cultures do okay while high-performance cultures get off-the-charts results. In bad times, high-performance cultures do okay and low-performing cultures go out of business. That’s right, they die.
The key to a high-performance culture is engaged employees who fully invest themselves in their work. If you’re not doing what it takes to juice your workforce, to tap into that “discretionary efforts” that employees deliver when their goals are aligned with the company’s, you’re at risk.
Does engagement really matter that much? Consider this: Studies have shown that on average businesses whose employees are highly engaged:
- Generate 44% More Profit
- Increase Productivity by 70%
- Reduce Undesirable Turnover by 75%, and
- Score 86% Higher in Customer Satisfaction
Talk about an edge! And you’re going to need it during the next 12 months, which almost all economists say are going to be brutal.
Join us for a provocative conversation with Tim Wright – a leading expert on employee engagement – for a fast-paced, fun, and informative session that will provide you with a host of tips, tricks, tools and techniques you can use right away to transform minimally engaged employees into a workforce that goes the extra mile for your business.
