How to Explain Engagement Versus Entitlement to Your Boss

Employee engagement, as we know, is one of the centerpieces of a productive and professional organization. It goes without saying that an engaged workforce is the ultimate contributor to the wellbeing and progress of the organization. Creating an engaged workforce is the task of the organization’s leadership. When leaders are made accountable for creating such a workforce, the effects can be very impactful.
Leaders in the organization are accountable for creating time for their employees and making them feel good and wanted. This is becoming all too rare in today’s organizations, because most leaders are too preoccupied with the business aspects of the organization.

However, staying connected with the team and making them engaged is the only means to ensuring that they are motivated into doing their best for the organization.

Jared will show the essential difference between engagement and happiness at the workplace. An engaged employee may be a happy employee, but a happiness is a state of mind that is independent of engagement. An employee who is provided some comforts at the workplace, such as say ergonomics or other perks, may be a happy one, but it doesn’t mean that the employee is engaged. Being engaged is a different ballgame, involving as it does a greater say in the organization’s working and business.
Entitlement is another parallel aspect of employee engagement. Entitlement and accountability are two-way streets between leaders and employees. Creating a culture of engagement that is coupled with accountability is the means to align these with each other. At this webinar, the expert will show how to bring accountability and engagement into the day-to-day work in the organization, which will ensure that the organization is one with a thoroughly engaged workforce.
At this session, the speaker will cover the following areas:
  • Discuss the difference between engagement surveys and developing engagement every day
  • Develop a process for focusing on engagement as part of a performance management process
  • Choose an approach for developing accountability with engagement on their teams
  • Sketch out ideas to incorporate engagement growth at the personal, workgroup, team, and department levels
  • Prepare for use of the 4 C’s to creating an enrichment versus entitled culture.

The Proper Way to Correct I-9 Documents and Not Pay Penalties

Surprising as it might sound, many employers are either unaware of I-9 documents penalties and fines, or are willing to take the risk of noncompliance. This is a very bad situation to be in, something that has been compounded by the fact that the regulatory agencies are communicating more than ever before on this topic. The way in which the departments communicate with each other makes it easier for them to target employers. Yet, the fact is that most complaints come from disgruntled employees, while others come from audits of target industries. Moreover, the DHS developed a new I-9 Form effective from January 21, 2017, which has to be used immediately. This makes it imperative for employers to be aware of all the new guidelines for completing the new I-9 form as well as the ongoing regulations. A webinar that is being organized by Traininng.com, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance, will give proper understanding and perspective on ...

Changing Behavior: Why Rewards and Punishments Often Aren't Enough

Major changes have been taking place at the workplace. Today, the workforce is no longer a staid or static one. It is lively, vibrant and mobile. No organization can expect to retain a workforce in which wholehearted appreciation is not forthcoming or where the employees do not make a difference. Organizations judge employees on the quality of their own work, but also that of their team members. This makes it necessary for individuals to assist their team members and help them raise their standards. However, with each employee being unique, one standard method or principle cannot be applied across the board. Team members, especially Leads and Managers, need to learn the fundamentals of human motivation if they have to motivate and engage each employee and the entire team for top performance in tune with their unique strengths, attitudes and skillsets. Some of the questions they have to pose to themselves and be able to answer include: What works well and what doesn’t? How effecti...

A step-by-step process for the first 90 days in their new role

Supervisors, managers and leaders that have moved into a new role get a very small amount of the training that they need to be successful in the role. Despite having sound qualifications and years of experience, and despite given the fact that most people learn on the job, there are many aspects that are unknown about the job and the new role. Research has consistently proven this. The first three months are a crucial period for building the vital learning needed for phasing into a new role painlessly. What learning should be imparted during this period? What should be learnt and how? Who should impart this learning? A webinar, which Traininng.com, leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance is organizing on September 27, will explain these and all other aspects of phasing into the new role. Michael Healey, a senior human resources professional, will be the expert at this webinar. Please register for this valuable learning session by logging ...
