If Not You, Who? How to Crack the Code of Employee Disengagement
Organizations in the top tier of employee engagement outperform their peers by 147% in earnings and grow 90% faster than their competition. Additionally, engaged employees are 87% less likely to leave an organization. However, even though we have this powerful data, only 34% of U.S. workers are engaged, which means the vast majority sleepwalk through the day giving you zero discretionary effort. How do you inspire employees to get off the sidelines, get into the game, and stay? Author of the best-selling book, If Not You, Who? Cracking the Code of Employee Disengagement, Jill has uncovered a proven strategy to turn disengaged workers into a unified high-performing team, resulting in increased revenue, customer satisfaction, productivity, and retention. Priceless.
Attendees will leave this session with:
- Insights into why traditional approaches to employee engagement don’t work.
- Tactics to engage senior leaders and managers in employee engagement.
- A proven strategy that they can apply immediately to re-engage employees.
- Clarity on next steps and inspiration to achieve their goals.
