Change Is Hard

Especially when organizations have to make hard changes, involving cost cutting, downsizing, and restructuring, Employee engagement is a critical resource amid transitions, as engaged employees can help organizations respond more flexibly to opportunities and challenges.

But engagement can also be more difficult to maintain, as leaders struggle to build alignment with new directions and inspire employees to work in new ways that often involve doing more with less.

In this webinar, Mark will leverage their global employee opinion database to explore how work environments and employees’ work experiences are most impacted by challenging changes.

Mark will also offer recommendations leaders and managers can use to respond proactively.

The next time difficult steps are called for in your organization, you’ll have a clearer understanding of the workforce implications – and what you’ll need to do to keep employees engaged and well positioned for success.
