The Engagement Bootcamp –
5 Practical Ways to Maximise
Employee Engagement
The issue with many companies today is that organisations put
tremendous effort into attracting employees to their company,
but spend little time on retaining and developing talent.
Organisations recognise that they do better business when
their people are engaged, motivated, and yes, talented.
It is no secret that engaged employees perform better,
are more productive and are more likely to stay with your
organisation. Most modern studies now show a direct link
between engagement levels and financial performance. But
what is ‘engagement’ really about? More importantly, what are
the practical steps you can action today to drive engagement?
This course will help you understand:
what it takes to have the right people ready. It will help you?
Understand the whole talent management process and
concept
Have the right people in place at the right time to achieve
continued growth, success, or even just stability
Create methodologies to measure talent, and decide how
to help people grow and prepare for their own futures
Apply the most current techniques for talent management
in the Kingdom
Certified by
How do you move beyond opinion surveys to taking
impactful actions to engage?
How do you start and sustain your engagement initiatives
with the support of everyone in your business?
What have the top employers done to get there and what
can you learn from them?
Post-conference workshops are certified by George Washington University. Participants
will receive an Informa / George Washington certificate of attendance provided they attend
full workshops and pass an assessment.
