Complimentary Business Forum:
Employee Engagement and the Impact on YOUR Business

How are YOU engaging employees?

Featured presenters:

Beth Mendoza, Director of Talent Management, MPTC and
Amy Beaman, Organizational Leadership Trainer, MPTC

Does your culture make you an employer of choice? Do you foster an environment that promotes collaboration, employee satisfaction and engagement? Kevin Kruse, author of Employee Engagement 2.0, defines employee engagement as “… the emotional commitment an employee has to the organization and its goals, resulting in the use of discretionary effort.” Higher employee engagement has been proven to positively affect productivity, customer service and retention because employees are using discretionary effort in ways that affect these important factors.
Join us for this complimentary session as presenters explore benefits, strategies and resources to drive engagement within your organization. Panel presenters will share insight into their employee engagement journey, challenges they faced and their vision for the future. Through a facilitated round table dialogue with your peers, your mind will be opened to new ideas about methods for driving stronger employee engagement, retention, and overall implementation strategies within your organization.
