Best Practices in How L&D Can Impact Employee Engagement
Program Description:
In today’s world, organizations are focusing more and more on employee engagement. With baby boomers beginning to retire and multiple generations in the workforce, in order to attract and retain employees we need to take action around employee engagement. Pick any study and you will see employee engagement facts and figures such as a 2014 Gallup study which found that organizations with engaged employees have 22% higher profitability, 21% more productivity, 37% less absenteeism, 25% lower turnover, and 48% fewer safety incidents.
Learning and organizational development plays an important role in impacting employee engagement through onboarding, the opportunity to grow and develop through learning, supervisory/leadership programs, organizational development initiatives, diversity and inclusion initiatives, etc.
Attend this L&OD SIG meeting to hear from great companies what they are doing and planning to do to make a positive impact on employee engagement in their organization.
