Speaker: Devin C Hughes, Chief Inspiration Officer, Speaker, Author, Storyteller

Program Description: Today’s top organizations are facing a war for talent on a global scale - one that by all accounts is growing worse by the day.  There is a worldwide epidemic of disengagement and no place to hide outdated organizational culture practices.  In order to win, HR teams must get serious about engaging employees and helping them thrive. 

Why should you care about employee engagement? The research is clear.  Business success is dependent on an engaged and enabled workforce.  Positive environments are performance enhancers. They are characterized by higher productivity, less turnover and more resilient cultures. Organizations with highly engaged employees outperform the competition by as much as 202% (Gallup).  Companies scoring highest for engagement achieve 4.5 times the revenue growth of those that rate lowest.  Increasingly employees are looking for more purpose and meaning in their work.  More than career paths, they want to feel alive at work—that what they are doing is making a positive difference.

In this session, you will learn:

• How prepared organizations must now deal with these challenges
• How to effectively engage leaders and managers in conversations that link engagement to their business objectives 
• How to create a culture of personal accountability that builds trust across the organization 
• How to build fun and celebration into your culture without sacrificing a relentless pursuit of results 
• How to overcome cultural and behavioral barriers against successful engagement and leadership conviction without over-spending

Takeaways? 

You will receive practical tools designed to help you back at the office.
