We’ve all heard that setting priorities in our personal lives is key to achieving our goals.

Some of us hire personal coaches to get our lives in order, but when it comes to what we do within the office, all that planning goes out the window.

Organizations today are running at a much faster pace than ever before.

We have technology glued to us at all times so that we can quickly respond to things. But should we really?

This month, Diane Buckley Altwies, (LinkedIn profile) CEO of Core Performance Concepts will talk about the benefits of prioritizing our days both at home and at work.

We understand that you don’t always have control over the priorities that may be set for you in the office, but Diane will discuss some strategies and approaches to gaining clarity of purpose when your supervisor says something is urgent or if you are feeling like you have too many projects on your plate.

Who should attend:

• Project managers, Portfolio managers,
• Project team members, Project Leads,
• Project sponsors & function/business unit managers,
• Subject Matter Experts, Business Analysts, Scheduling Specialists and ….
• Other business stakeholders.

Employees’ level of engagement can affect many business variables, including talent acquisition and retention; corporate brand; customer/client loyalty and satisfaction; and financial performance, growth and stability.

Essentially, engaged employees are willing to go the extra mile for their company, customers and coworkers. However, 2 in 5 employees are currently completely disengaged from their employer.

With the diverse makeup of the modern workforce, a one-size-fits-all approach to employee engagement simply doesn’t work today.

Two similarly-aged employees may be at completely different stages in their career and have varying preferences, challenges and motivators.

During this webinar, featuring an exclusive first look at the 2017 Engage by Stage research data, attendees will learn:

• The different stages that employees pass through during their careers
• Engagement preferences at each stage, including information needs (both in context and channel) and reward and recognition
  How leadership behaviors and attitudes, organizational goals and an employee’s role influence employee engagement
• How best to drive engagement across the organization to retain and inspire talent

Join Dan Reilly, (LinkedIn profile) Vice President of Client Services, SMS Research Advisors & Julie McCracken, (LinkedIn profile) Senior Director, Padilla and learn to engage all of your employees.
