WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Organizations often fail in their attempts to improve engagement with their work teams, despite a lot of hard work in trying. Many times this is due to a poor understanding of what engagement is and the holistic framework that creates it; there is no clear process to creating it that is actively supported by senior leaders; and a focus on outcomes and measures, not the necessary values, culture and behaviours, and the people centric culture that is required.
This workshop has two basic premises:
- High employee engagement linked with a strong continuous improvement capability is a tremendous way to improve business performance and customer loyalty.
- Employee engagement is the work of leaders. Too many leaders at all levels believe engagement is a function of character. People Centric leaders engage their work teams to achieve the highest level of performance from their capacity, and work to grow and develop their people and teams to greater performance.
This workshop focuses on the leadership work of creating a highly engaged team through People Centric Leadership. The principles and learning here can and will apply to entire organizations or individual work teams.
Building engagement in an organization or a team requires some key foundational elements. Engagement by employees or customers is a personal choice, requiring the necessary trust, opportunity, direction, sense of community and personal engagement from leaders.
Specific experiences and business results will be shared in this workshop from AME Award winning Cogent Power Inc, and other businesses who have applied this approach successfully to achieve higher levels of engagement and corresponding business results.
