Engage for Success

2 June 2015

Engage for Success 12:30 – 14:00

It is often the way products and services are delivered to consumers that is the difference that makes the

difference. This is commonly driven by the people who are the face of the organisation and those in critical

design and delivery roles. The way organisations engage with their employees can motivate them to set their

organisation apart from the competition by how they do their jobs. Why then, is employee engagement not a

top priority for top leaders? We will be examining the business case for employee engagement, why it matters

so much to people at work, the organisations they work for and the economy as a whole. We will look at what

gets in the way and why good engagement is the exception rather than the rule. There is an enormous

opportunity to drive the success of UK organisations and at the same time, enrich people’s working lives. Join

us for an engaging session on employee engagement.
