Employee Engagement: Why It Matters & How to Cultivate It

Presented by Brad Shuck

High levels of engagement are important to both employees and organizations they work in. Engagement can reduce the episodes and symptoms of burnout, influence creativity and innovation, and impact individual and group performance. But, for some, feeling engaged is a difficult reality to reach.

Using the latest decision science-research, this informal lunch-and-learn workshop is focused on practical strategies for developing places of work that promote full engagement and peak performance. Come find out what really drives employee engagement across an organization and how we can all play a part in unleashing the power of a highly motivated, and engaged team.
