Culture, The Ultimate Competitive Advantage

A winning culture doesn’t happen overnight. It is the result of a belief that if you do what is right, good things will happen. It also takes a level of openness, trust, transparancy and attitude from the top down. It begins with better communications and leads to better recognition, higher employee engagement, performance improvement, measurable results, and significant ROI.

John Schaefer and John Smith will share some ideas of how to start with a top down culture transformation that engages both managers and employees. They we'll show you some ways to integrate all of the ways you communicate with employees into a single, simple, effective and believable strategy that will win your people over. Sounds good, but why don't we all do this automatically?

Here's the problem - Most clients use a disjointed array of programs to recognize and reward their employees. They were started at different times, in different departments, by different people. It's no wonder that, even if they're working, it's difficult to tell and even harder to determine if your current initiatives are paying off. We’ll explain how to wrap your arms around all of your Award/Reward initiatives, to optimize employee performance and optimize your investments in people.

Participants will learn how small changes in communication style will show that you truly care about your employees, as opposed to creating the impression that you’re just trying to manipulate their behavior by dangling carrots.

Finally, we'll share how a total recognition solution can save money, improve results and give you the tools to prove it to your CFO.
