About this event
This event will explore how to unleash the collective potential of your workforce - productivity and high performance is contagious!
This event is hybrid whereby you can join online (via MS Teams), or in person, please select the appropriate ticket type when registering.
The latest workforce trends have seen the rise of ‘task masking’, often giving the impression that employees are more productive than they actually are. This leaves one question - is your workforce really as productive as they seem? It’s no secret that developing and maintaining a workforce that is engaged in their work is the key to driving productivity and performance, but what really makes your employees tick?
Join this session and dive into how to:
- uncover the essential components that drive productivity and performance
- develop meaningful work to instil a sense of purpose and unlock motivation amongst employees
- enable line managers to manage with curiosity and listen to challenges and shortfalls whilst building trust to boost engagement.
