When companies say “we need to improve our employee engagement,” what they’re really saying is “how do we get people to want to do their best work?” The answer has been rather elusive costing the American economy up to $350 billion per year due to lost productivity. Companies don’t understand how they spend more than $100 billion per year on employee engagement and still struggle to recruit, retain and build employee loyalty.
In this session, Natalie Fikes lays out three steps participants can take to create common ground, cultivate a partnership culture, and develop purposeful incentives. Participants will consider whether their current employee engagement efforts make sense for the needs, capabilities, and goals of their employees; they will assess their current process for employee engagement and discover ways to fill gaps in experience; and they will prepare to engage in meaningful employee discovery to ensure mutually beneficial outcomes for both the company and their employees.
