Employee engagement does not mean employee happiness. Someone might be happy at work, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are working hard or productively on behalf of the organization. Employee engagement is defined as the the emotional commitment the employee has to the organization and its goals. At our program in May, Dixie Agostino will present on employee engagement and why it matters. She will discuss the cost of a less than engaged workforce, ideas to discover where your employees' current level of engagement is today and what to do about it once you know.  This program will give HR professionals real facts to take to upper management and the fuel to set a strategic engagement plan in place.

At this program you will learn:

1. Definition and understanding of Employee Engagement and its impact on company

2. Techniques to measure your organizations current level of engagement

3. How to develop a plan to hit target engagement goals

4. The benefits of implementing a long range, strategic engagement maintenance plan
