The Rules of Engagement
Lessons and best practices on how to build and maintain a fully engaged workforce
Countless studies have long concluded there really is no singular recipe for success in business. A best practice for one industry or type of business may prove to be a terrible practice for another. The most successful organizations around the world have each learned to adapt to their own unique business challenges by building a custom strategy and approach that allows them to grow and prosper in their specific business environment and conditions. There is, however, one universal thread that ties all successful businesses around the world together: each has built a corporate culture that keeps their employees engaged and productive.
Whether you’re a global automotive giant with headquarters based in Germany, a mid-sized textile manufacturer in Brazil or a small tech start-up company based in upstate New York – research shows that building and maintaining an actively engaged workforce is the single most important variable that differentiates high-growth organizations from the rest in the marketplace. In this workshop for leaders and HR professionals, we’ll explore what leadership and employment practices differentiate the organizations reporting the highest levels of employee engagement from all the others – and the impact these practices are having on retention, productivity, customer service, quality, safety and satisfaction in the workplace. Filled with group activities and real-world anecdotes and ideas on how to motivate, retain and engage your workforce (along with a few worst-practice examples as well) – you’ll leave this workshop armed with tips that you can apply back in an office of any size, scale and industry.
Some of the areas of best (and worst) engagement practices we’ll explore include:
