It's been a year of downsizing, restructuring, and cutting back HR programs. This breakage in the employment deal (that is, "you work hard for us, we take good care of you with a stable job") is having a big impact. Employee engagement is down nine percent among all employees but down a staggering 23 percent among high performers.
Don't risk your business by taking little or no action to recover employee engagement and rethink your employment deal. Doing nothing could have a devastating effect on your company.
In this webcast you'll learn what you can do to rebuild your HR function, regain engagement and thrive post-recession.
Expert Speakers: Jeff Munn, Hewitt Bob Nease, PhD, Express Scripts
