Employee engagement has become a critical strategic component to achieve organizational success, employee productivity, and business goals.  Utilizing real-world examples, research findings, and a tropical theme, Jim draws a visual picture of the various levels of engagement and discusses how business leaders and their management teams can positively influence engagement growth in their organization.  Just as under-currents flow invisibly beneath the ocean’s surface, employee disengagement can pull organizations into dangerous waters and away from their business goals.  In today’s economy, employers in all industry segments, whether large or small, for-profit or nonprofit, must find innovative ways to do “more with less” to meet their operational and financial objectives.  This session will focus on how organizations can strategically take action to increase employee engagement and positively impact their productivity, profitability and workforce budgets.
