LCHRA November 2021: Managers Matter

Culture is destiny. It’s the culmination of the many thousands of interactions we have with our colleagues and leaders every day. How do the most enviable cultures establish a baseline of trust in those interactions? What are the non-negotiables when it comes to living values of respect and civility at work? For collaboration to flourish and grow, you first need to empower individuals to do their best work in an environment with psychological safety. The bottom line for engagement is that managers matter. As a manager, you have more control over your employees' engagement levels than any other contributing factor, more than benefits and perks, and even more than money! This workshop is designed for leaders and HR professionals who want to reduce turnover, increase productivity, and build an engaged workforce that is aligned with the goals of the organization. Managers Matter: A Relationship-Centered Approach to Driving Employee Engagement is an employee engagement workshop designed to provide you with the tools necessary to create a value-driven culture that will raise confidence levels and make employees feel valued, connected, and empowered to achieve higher levels of performance.
