It’s no secret: the state of the economy has forced organizations in all industries and markets to make difficult, and sometimes painful, budgetary cuts and layoffs. Undoubtedly, many workers are questioning your commitment to them. Organizations that continue to focus on key employee engagement factors guard themselves against a turnover “backlash” occurring once the economy begins to solidly improve.
It comes as no surprise that over the course of the recession, the overall amount of Engaged Employees has increased, as exerting extra effort and showing commitment at work have become vital to protecting one’s own job security. Nor does it shock anyone to learn that employees also have decidedly less faith in Senior Management to keep promises and honor commitments to employees.
However, according to the same research, the nation has greatly increased the level of trust between employees and direct supervisors who have been banding together to weather the economic storm and keep their organizations afloat. The first key to “making it” through the recession is to act like a company that is going to “make it.” The manner in which a company acts in times like these defines its reputation and reveals its true values. It is a test of senior management's commitment to employees and holds them accountable during trying times.
In this webinar you will learn:
- Linkage between employee engagement and respect and trust
- Key questions that are critical to drive the transformation of change
- Laying out clear expectations
- Setting the course for change
- Influencing senior management and gaining credibility
- Building respect and a solid foundation of trust
