SUMMARY:Rethink Engagement & Retention
DESCRIPTION:Join us to reimagine the future of your workforce\, an environment where employees are fully supported by every part of your organization. \nRetaining and engaging your workforce is essential for business success. According to recent Gallup  data\, organizations with an engaged workforce experience: \n\n78% decrease in absenteeism\n63% decrease in safety incidents\n23% increase in profitability\n68% increase in employee wellbeing\n\nUnfortunately\, only 33% of the US workforce is engaged. \nThis session addresses that gap by bringing together HR and operations leaders to explore a collaborative approach to engagement and retention. Traditionally seen as separate functions\, HR and operations must work together to create a cohesive strategy across the entire employee life cycle. \nDon’t miss this interactive session facilitated by John Keuning and Jimmy Nelson of Frontline Training Solutions as they share insights and practical steps to build a unified effort that supports employees at every stage — from hiring and onboarding to performance\, career development\, and transition. \n \nWho Should Attend?\nThis session is designed for human resources leaders and practitioners\, operations leaders\, and all people leaders who play a key role in employee engagement and retention. \nThere is a benefit to these diverse leaders attending together: Register two or more team members and you receive a $25 discount per ticket by using promo code Team111924 at checkout.
