Course Description
How many of your team members are fully engaged in their work? National studies indicate that as many as 80% of the American workforce is disengaged or actively disengaged in their job. What are some of the costs of disengagement? Productivity, accuracy, teamwork, and customer satisfaction all go down, while absenteeism, conflict, stress, and turnover all go up. If any of these challenges sound familiar, this seminar can help.
When people are disengaged, more technical, policy, or hard-skill training isn’t going to make much difference. They need to be reengaged before you can better equip them to do their job. This presentation will show you how to rekindle your people’s passion and commitment in the workplace. You’ll gain a new perspective on how much disengagement is actually costing your company, the contributors that lead to disengagement, and how you can combat those. You’ll learn the three key factors leaders must be aware of in order to have greater influence with disengaged employees. And, you’ll leave with ideas for changing the culture within your organization to one that will actually keep people engaged. These strategies are simple to grasp and apply, and they will ensure your employees are ALL IN.
