Webcast:
Is it time to reassess the strategies we use to motivate employees toward higher levels of productivity and increased corporate loyalty? New data would suggest yes. Most measures of employee engagement incorporate two factors: discretionary effort and intent to stay. But as corporate productivity surges and a stubbornly soft labor market suggests businesses have reduced vulnerability to employee turnover “the numbers inside the engagement numbers” tell a new story—one that runs contrary to the assumed benefit of investing in employee engagement programs. Employees say they are tired and burnt-out and the fear of losing their jobs is no longer a motivator. Today there is a significant risk of voluntary defection—even among engaged employees. As the recovery shows signs of heating up, business that don’t attend to the new engagement imperative—retaining and reinvigorating their best employees—run the risk of lagging behind when the economy begins to heat up again.
During this webinar we will examine…
- Why some engagement strategies fail
- What employees really want out of a working relationship
- Where the barriers and bridges are to a more engaged and aligned workforce
- What the new dimensions of productivity are
-
And how strategically applied employee recognition tactics can help ignite and sustain a more aligned and innovative workforce

Marian, I think you hit on so many key points. Balancing recognition and engagement is key to success, but it's a very tenuous spot to find - and maintain. Thanks for contributing to the discussion!
Engagement Drivers remain the same. However, I have a few observations that I noted and would like to comment on as follows: Career Opportunities is a constant across the globe as Engagement Driver & quite high on the list. I am a little surprised that Recognition and Brand Alignment are quite low in terms of the % across the board and even more surprised that Recognition is lowest in NA and Asia-Pacific, although one could possibly explain the reasons as perhaps cultural for Asia Pacific and still surprised at the NA because NA thrives on high competition and as such one would expect that Recognition would be a high motivator and engagement factor. People/HR Practices didn’t even feature in NA. That's a surprise and what does that tell us - either that employees feel their organisations have perfect and effective management practices or they don't feel it is important.

Is there a couse number to obtain CE credit?
Hi,
I keep missing this. It would be great if it were archived and I could access it on my schedule rather than HCI's schedule.
Sorry - I have tried so many times and can never get into the webcasts... This always happens and I have been sent a separate link that works. Sorry.
I'm sorry - I would really like to attend - but I can't get the broadcast to play.
Glad you enjoyed it, Christine! Be sure and check out some of our other webcasts within our Employee Engagement topic if you're interested.
Great presentation and I enjoyed and agree with the "marketing" perspective.
