Overview:

The critical talent management issue businesses face today is how to keep engagement high and retain those key employees who are right now thinking about seeking greener pastures as the economy and job market improves. Some may think employee engagement is primarily a human resource concern. Yet Gallup's research has found that managers are the ones primarily responsible for their employees' engagement levels. Learn how managers can accelerate employee engagement and boost the performance of their department or business unit.

Why should you attend: The 70% of American workers who are not engaged or actively disengaged are emotionally disconnected from their companies and may actually be working against their employers' interests; they are less productive, are more likely to steal from their companies, negatively influence their coworkers, miss workdays, and drive customers away. When workers are not fully engaged, it leads to greater performance risk for employers. It makes companies more vulnerable to lower productivity, higher inefficiency, weaker customer service, and greater rates of absenteeism and turnover.
