Online Workshop Description

There is a difference between a satisfied employee and one who is truly engaged! What’s the difference? Have you ever asked yourself, just how many of the employees in my organization are really engaged? If you believe it is about half, you may be overestimating the number. According to a recent studies on employee engagement, a greater percentage of employees in the United States are disengaged than are engaged. Factors related to strategy and role clarity, job ownership, dysfunctional relationships, ineffective communication and a lack of trust have been at play in causing such a divide.

And now, disruptive chaos! Just as progress was being made in addressing the concerns of disengagement, we are forced by unforeseen circumstances, to distance ourselves further from each other and our work. Lessons and practices for dealing with the present issues are available to managers and leaders. In this workshop we will investigate the dynamics of this divide and focus on the new steps for generative action in increasing employee engagement activities for success.

Workshop Objectives

• Understand that employees are engaged when many different levels of employees are feeling fully involved and enthusiastic about their jobs and their organizations.
• Identify the willingness and ability of employees to contribute to company success by adding discretionary effort into their work, in the form of extra time, brainpower and energy.
• Focus on the issues of “virtual separation” and “distancing” to implement sustainable working collaborative employee engagement efforts.
• Analyze the role of organizational goals and appropriate managerial actions as the committing force for engagement.
• Integrate new thinking concerning the cultural aspects of true employee engagement
• Plan for the should, the can and the must do as action steps for modern engagement tactics.
