Employee Engagement in Tough Times
Economic distress. Stiff competitive pressure. Overwhelming uncertainty. A tough business climate presents a serious test for any business leader. Leaders who pass the test will be the ones who stay grounded and train their focus like a laser on fundamental business elements that ensure long-term success. Heading that list is the organization’s talent. A talent focus is important in all economic cycles, but perhaps never more so than in downturns. Organizations are asking their employees to do far more with fewer resources. Opportunities for development and career advancement are severely limited in most organizations. The level of employee engagement, in general, is at an unprecedented low. The best and the brightest may already be planning to leave…and you may not see it coming. What’s happening in your organization? Are you maintaining a focus on talent? Are you keeping the right people? Are you retaining and engaging your top talent? This session you will help you answer these questions and will explore research and best practices you can apply to assess, develop, engage, and retain your organization’s A Players.
