Although 88 percent of companies measure employee engagement, few organizations succeed in creating an engagement-driven culture. Gallup surveys show that 68 percent of U.S. employees are “not engaged” or “actively disengaged”—resulting in lost organizational productivity and industry competitiveness. In this interactive webinar, corporate performance experts discuss innovative ways to mobilize and sustain employee engagement by moving beyond metrics to actions that drive business results. By converting retrospective assessments into foresight-focused performance tools, managers and talent professionals can energize the organizational culture and boost business outcomes. In this webinar, attendees will learn: Practical “to-do’s” for improving employee engagement immediately. Best practices for promoting sustainable, affordable engagement over time. Tips to strengthen engagement through employee skill-building and career development. Insights for fueling an engagement-friendly learning culture.
