SUMMARY:Employee Engagement: How to Foster Motivation
DESCRIPTION:When employees are not actively engaged at work\, not only do they suffer – the organization does as well. Workplaces with high levels of engagement have employees that are committed and feel a connection to the organization. Engaged employees are willing to use discretionary time\, brainpower\, and effort beyond what is expected of them. This workshop explores how employee engagement occurs more readily when employees are respected and cared for\, when they do tasks that bring them satisfaction\, and when they work in an organization that makes a difference. Participants will learn unique insights for increasing engagement and be challenged to think critically about their approach to employee engagement. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\nUpon completion\, participants should be able to: \n\nIdentify the signs of employee engagement within their organization\nDefine traditional and current ways of thinking about engagement\nAssess the levels of employee engagement within their own organization\nImplement strategies for creating and maintaining employee engagement\n\n\n\nMethod of Delivery\nPresentation\, video\, case study examples\, personal reflection\, delivered electronically. \n\n*Please allow only the registered individual(s) to view the materials. \n\n\n\n\nSome of the Topics Included\n\nEmployee Engagement Defined\nThe Difference Between Motivation and Engagement\nThe Three Levels of Engagement\nTraditional Views About Engagement\nUnintended Consequences of Punishments and Rewards\nNew Views About Engagement\nFocus on Leadership and Culture\nCharacteristics of Highly Engaged Workplaces\nEmployee Engagement Assessment\nSix Crucial Keys Required for Engagement\nStrategies for Improving Engagement\n\n\n\nTarget Audience\nThis is an intermediate level workshop for leaders\, managers\, supervisors\, human resource personnel\, and anyone who influences engagement in the workplace. \n\n\nTerms & Conditions\nView our cancellation policy and other information regarding your live virtual workshop or for your in-person workshop. \nThis is a live virtual event\, please check your system requirements prior to registering. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrainer: Randy Grieser\nRandy (he/him) is the founder\, former CEO\, and current Advisor of ACHIEVE Centre for Leadership.
