Employee engagement is changing. Gone are the days of annual employee surveys with rigid follow-up cycles, number chasing, frustration and little business value. It is time to rethink one of the most used, or misused, soft data concepts in business: employee engagement.

Engagement is transforming into an integrated measure of business operations, helping to mitigate risk and prevent business failure. This gives human resource leaders have a refreshingly new opportunity to secure the delivery of critical outcomes in close collaboration with business leaders. In fact, the most innovative and forward-looking businesses have already embarked on this journey.

In this session, learn about how the Internet of Things (and the Internet of People) will have significant practical implications for businesses that desire to differentiate from their competitors and survive in the Internet of People. Employee engagement will no longer be an isolated annual event that managers and employees feel they are obligated to attend. Instead, employee engagement will be a continuous, integrated business measure of the extent to which employees are aligned to strategic goals and objectives that provides detailed insight into the way a business operates and enables thorough identification of early warning signs of risks and failures.

Based on recent research, theory, and proven use cases, this webinar will elaborate on and discuss how five specific best practices will help prevent business failures and accelerate strategy execution in the Internet of People. But more monumentally, it will show how human resource departments can own this rethinking of employee engagement and use it to fundamentally transform their role from being a cost center into a strategic business partner that is critical to achieving short-term goals and objectives and securing long-term sustainability, competitive advantage and survival.

 

Learning objectives:

  • Understand why employee engagement should be measured continuously and aligned to strategic goals and objectives to generate business relevant insight
  • Reduce time to insight, add analytical capabilities, and establish an engine for continuous improvement for a successful engagement strategy
  • Understand how employee and customer experience are two sides of the same coin; they should be measured and tracked cohesively to drive business value

 

Who should attend?

HR executives and professionals with direct or indirect responsibility for engagement processes and the execution of those towards the business (e.g. CHRO, VPHR, HRD, HRBP).
