2022 EmployER Engagement & Retention Master Class: Cohort 3 | Measurement Principles of Engagement & Retention - On-Demand

Now Available On-Demand.

Program Length: 4 hours

Can employee engagement be measured? That’s the question Danny Nelms, President of Work Institute, is trying to answer with the bestselling book, EmployER Engagement – The Fresh and Dissenting Voice on the Employment Relationship. Nelms says to stop trying to measure “employee engagement,” and start identifying where employer strengths and opportunities exist to “create the conditions where employee engagement is most likely to occur.”

In this interactive, thought provoking, and ultimately game changing Master Class, Nelms and Kim Nowell, Principal and Founder at KWaN Partners, aim to challenge the status quo on how we think about attraction, engagement, and retention in today’s extremely competitive marketplace. With today’s hyper-competitive U.S. job market, employees have the power in deciding where they chose to work. Because of these market conditions, it is necessary for organizations to engage their employees, rather than expect employees to engage with their organization.

This collaborative event will give you a new perspective on engaging and retaining your employees. Through active dialogue, breakout groups, and hands on activities, you'll learn from your peers and our expert presenters as you explore strategies and real-world applications for employee engagement.

In the next installment of this 4-part series, Nelms and Nowell will discuss the principles of employee engagement and explain best practices for employee attraction, engagement, and retention. Come with your most pressing challenges and leave with expert strategies and peer-based solutions. You won't want to miss this valuable peer-networking opportunity!

This cohort will provide:

• A brief recap about today's market conditions and why they now demand that we take a closer look at how we manage employee engagement and retention in your organization.
• Key takeaways from peer breakout groups to get you up to speed on what was discussed in the last cohort.
• Key principles for measuring engagement and retention.
• How a needs assessment approach uncovers action requirements throughout the employment lifecycle.
• What needs to change in the gathering of employee voice in today's “employee-in-control” marketplace.
• How to apply a bottom-up approach to action planning and accountability as the most targeted, effective approach.
• And more!

Agenda

15 Minutes
Recap of Cohort 2 and Feedback

The Financial Implications of Engagement

Employee engagement and retention both can have significant financial impact on organizations. Any effort to improve employee engagement and retention should begin with defining the financial gains that organizations will obtain if improvements are made. Participants will learn a simple approach to calculating cost of turnover and a model for measuring workforce productivity.

15 Minutes
BREAK

15 Minutes
Debrief

Upon returning from the break, attendees will come together as a group and debrief their findings. Who had the highest costs? Who had the lowest? What was the average for the whole class? Uncover the answers to these questions in this engaging session!

30 Minutes
The Voice of the Employee Approach

In today’s ultra-competitive and challenging environment, the voice of the employee must be a priority for organizations. Employee surveys have become a standard practice in most organizations. Too often these surveys are methodologically flawed and fail to provide the data necessary to make evidence-based decisions.

The "Voice of the Employee" approach must take into consideration the best methods and requires listening across the entire employee life cycle. Once conducting effectively, communication with leaders and front-line staff is critical.

BREAK

30 Minutes
