2021 Talent and Culture Virtual Master Class: Developing an Effective Employee Engagement Program - On-Demand

Now Available On-Demand.

Program Length: 3.5 hours

Employee engagement is crucial to any organization’s success: engaged employees are more productive, they produce higher-quality work, have better overall morale, fewer issues with absenteeism, they are better teammates, and have lower turnover.

Engaged employees are also more likely to be passionate about their work, are great with customers and at bringing in new employees, and so much more. On the flip side, however, are disengaged employees, who are more likely to work just enough to fulfill expectations and could actively bring down morale.

It’s hard to overstate the importance of genuine employee engagement, and determining how to engage employees has always been a difficult challenge. Companies know that keeping workers engaged and happy is critical, but just as employers were starting to get a handle on employee engagement, chaos and disorder came our way, changing the work environment forever.

Some employees went remote, others stayed in-house, and work as we knew it was significantly altered. As we continue to pick up the pieces and rebuild our workplaces to pre-pandemic levels, it's time for HR professionals to put engagement back in the spotlight. And due to the pandemic, engagement looks a little different from what we were accustomed to.

The 2021 Talent and Culture Virtual Master Class: Developing an Effective Employee Engagement Program is designed to help you kick up your engagement game and improve your career. This 1-day event will be fast-moving and full of great insight, strategies, and tools.
