The goal of employee engagement is to earn the gift of discretionary effort. Discretionary effort is a gift because employees make a decision on a daily basis whether or not to give discretionary effort. Discretionary effort is the difference between what an employee does to get a paycheck and what the employee is capable of contributing. In a culture of rich employee experiences, employees naturally give discretionary effort, moving from completing basic tasks that match their job description to adding value to the tasks they touch.Individualized and meaningful employee experiences replace the need for employee programs of rewarding people with material items if they garner X-amount of points, reach a certain level of contribution, etc. This webinar is for you if you want to begin motivating your employees through significant employee experiences that make employee programs useful in some circumstances, yet almost obsolete.The experience of this seminar will give you the skills, fortitude, and courage to:Show determination and tenacity in the face of challengesBuild team spirit to reach company goalsMotivate individuals to do more than they originally intended and more than they thought possibleEmpower, give authority to and hold your employees accountableCreate an environment for employees to surface the truth, voice ideas, and give opinions that strengthen products and servicesAreas CoveredAs a business issue, engagement produces greater levels of productivity, not only from a viewpoint of completing more tasks, but from the perspective of employees giving added value, thinking creatively, and taking personal responsibility for solving problems.
