Topic:
Build Connections with Your Employees and Drive Performance

Come join Kate Feather, EVP of PeopleMetrics People Engagement Practice for a one hour Webinar on what you can do to build connections with your employees and drive performance. We will share results from our recent study of employee engagement among 5,095 workers across the United States.

Understand why:

  • Employees who are passionate about their companies are the best performers, regardless of industry, tenure or gender.
  • CEOs and corporate leaders are mentioning ‘love’ and ‘passion’ as the secret ingredient to success.
  • Building an emotional bond with employees requires organizations to create a sense of meaning and purpose among employees by connecting them to the higher vision and purpose of the organization.
  • Building trust and confidence through regular dialogue with managers and senior leadership is important, as is building connections within the organization by celebrating successes, having fun and showing individual appreciation.
