Group Charter

HCI's Engagement and Retention Workgroup focuses on the strategies, skills, knowledge and technologies required to support on-boarding, active engagement and retention of high-performing contributors. It is designed for strategic HR, OD/learning and line executives interested in collaboration on new ideas and innovative methodologies for successful engagement and performance.

Our workgroup offers HR, OD and line leaders a collaborative and confidential forum in which to exchange insights and solutions with executive peers and thought leaders on their most critical challenges and issues.

2010-11 Framework:
Keeping Performance Up when Business is Down

Flat business hurts more than the bottom line. Because the most engaged talent feels ownership when the business is not doing well, it affects their morale and self-esteem. Knowing your top talent puts their hearts into their work, typically leaders ask talent to pull out all the stops, without a plan to help talent be resilient in difficult times and avoid burnout. Once your talent pulls through a challenging business campaign that focuses on milestone completion, what are you doing today to sustain engagement beyond immediate deliverables? Leaders are being stretched today to address these questions as they re-invent their talent engagement strategy and redefine effective leadership styles.

Because the business environment today is unlike any most have personally experienced in their careers, keeping performance up when business is down requires fresh thinking and an intentional, sustainable engagement strategy. Participants in The Founder's Meeting at HCI's Engagement & Retention Executive Workgroup will tackle these challenges and look at opportunities to distinguish their organizations and ensure sustainable results with highly engaged talent:

• Re-engage discouraged talent
• Navigate the mental landscape of top performers
• Plan to manage stress and avoid burn-out
• How personal authenticity and leadership transparency drive talent commitment
• When teams matter most, keeping players in the game
• Overcome virtual leadership and workforce
• Non-monetary rewards that pay you back
• Personalize incentives
• Re-frame your organization as a home base for customized development
