LOVE ‘EM OR LOSE ‘EM™: MOTIVATING, ENGAGING, & RETAINING KEY EMPLOYEES

Overview:

Today, we’re told to do “more with less”.  How can you achieve this sometimes seemingly daunting task?  One way is to fully utilize all of the skills and abilities of the people you do have.  Be the leader that builds the genius of your people (don’t just be a genius yourself).  If you want to motivate, engage, retain, and truly utilize the skills/talents of the people you have on your team, it is imperative to understand WHAT motivates, engages, and keeps them. In this session, we’ll give you everyday tips (and some tools, too) that you can use to provide a more motivational and engaging working environment.

Objectives:
