Straight from the Headlines: Employment Law News You Can Use w/Bob Coursey, Esq
We need look no further than the news to learn valuable HR lessons. There, we find a constant stream of stories of employees behaving badly (and managers behaving even worse), angry juries awarding huge verdicts to punish employers for outrageous behavior, and even some local companies in the news for the wrong reasons. Who doesn't like to learn from the mistakes of others, especially when truth is stranger than fiction?
If Not You, Who? How to Crack the Code of Employee Disengagement w/Jill Christensen
Organizations in the top tier of employee engagement outperform their peers by 147% in earnings and grow 90% faster than their competition. Additionally, engaged employees are 87% less likely to leave an organization. However, even though we have this powerful data, only 32% of U.S. workers are engaged – 20% globally, which means the vast majority sleepwalk through the day giving you zero discretionary effort. How do you attract great workers and then inspire them to get off the sidelines, get into the game, and stay? Author of the best-selling book, If Not You, Who? Cracking the Code of Employee Disengagement, Jill has uncovered a proven strategy to build a unified high-performing team, resulting in increased revenue, customer satisfaction, productivity, and retention. Priceless.
