Employee Engagement: are you teaching to the test?

21 September 2011, 8:30 AM – 11 AM
National Geographic - 1145 17th Street N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036-4688

What are your employee engagement initiatives really focused on? Chasing a limited set of metrics or hitting your ‘engagement numbers’?

While often well-intentioned, too many companies we come in contact with are ‘teaching to the test’ – deploying initiatives only as the survey date get close and trying to outperform competitors based on some arbitrary industry benchmark.

We understand the pressures. But effective employee engagement is so much more than this. It’s about unlocking the interests and energies of each employee and aligning personal interest with the overall business strategies of the enterprise. Not easy.

In this presentation and hands-on discussion, we will discuss the approaches that are working for leading companies and provide you with a refreshing, yet provocative perspective on this challenge.

Join Joan Dasher and Chris Brunone as they share BlessingWhite’s recent expert insights and experiences in helping organizations, and, be part of an interactive forum with exercises that you and your peers can bring back to your company to rethink, realign and reframe your engagement efforts.
This complimentary event will:
• Highlight common engagement pitfalls, like teaching to the test, gaming the system, and analysis paralysis
• Provide an interactive forum to learn from other companies’ mistakes and best practices
• Shift the conversation from number crunching to creating a leader-led culture of engagement (leaders seeing beyond the numbers)
