How to Increase Employee Engagement in Challenging Recessionary Times


Most employees today feel overworked and under appreciated and the Great Recession has added to this burden. During times of change when we are asking them to do more with less, they report feeling less valued and more stressed for their efforts than ever before. Based on his award-winning book (named as the #1 Business Book of 2009): Keeping Up in a Down Economy: What the Best Companies do to Get Results in Tough Times, Bob Nelson, Ph.D., will expand your thinking of how best to leverage the potential of your staff -- even with little time, resources or budget. This session will focus on core researched-based elements found in strong cultures of engagement that inspire employees to new levels of performance and help to create an exciting, positive work environment and competitive people advantage for the organization even in tough, challenging and recessionary times. Based on recent engagement research, six dimensions will be presented with examples that any manager/organization can implement to create a more motivating work environment for their employees today:

 

  • Create a Clear and Compelling Direction
  • Direct, Open and Honest Communication
  • Involve Employees and Encourage Initiative
  • Increase Employee Autonomy, Flexibility and Support
  • Continued Focus on Career Growth and Development
  • Recognize and Reward High Performance
