Maximising Employee Engagement

Available for delivery face-to-face or virtually via Zoom or MS Teams

This blended programme, including a one-day course, focuses on maximising employee engagement during change when we most need our staff to be involved and committed to the new future

Overview

This programme is about maximising employee engagement by creating the conditions where your staff feel invested in their organisation, where they have an emotional connection that encourages them to do the very best they can, benefiting both the organisation and themselves.

It is important to recognise that employee engagement is not a destination but a journey, in much the same way as TQM is not a ‘state’ but a continual process of improvement. Neither has an end. As such, it is appropriate to consider how we might maximise the level of employee engagement at any point in time, but specifically at times of change when the challenges for both the organisation and its employees are the greatest.

What do we mean by ‘employee engagement’? Bob Kelleher, author of ‘Employee Engagement for Dummies’, offers the following definition:

‘Employee engagement is the mutual commitment between an organisation and an employee, in which the organisation helps the employee meet his or her potential and the employee helps the organisation meet its goals.’

Our focus for this programme is maximising engagement during change, a time when we most we most need staff to be involved and committed to new future.
