Employee Engagement - Back to Basics, Simplify Employee Engagement Initiatives to the Most Critical Elements

At its core, employee engagement can be broken down into the decisions that the employee makes: the decision to engage in their work; the level of engagement they decide to work at; and the decision of how long they plan to stay with the organization. Many employee engagement intiatives do not address these core decision but rather paint all employees with the same brush thereby creating barriers to full engagement. In this webinar, we will explore the key decisions that employees make, what talent variables affect them, and how to develop employee engagement initiatives at your organization that will truly drive talent results.

Leaders may know the hard costs associated with recruiting, interviewing and onboarding a new employee. But, what about the costs associated with holding the somewhat engaged and disengaged employees in your organization?
