2022 EmployER Engagement & Retention Master Class: Cohort 2 | Myths and Opportunities

Presenters Danny Nelms and Kim Nowell will spend the first few minutes recapping the previous cohort and soliciting feedback from the group.

Experts have been exploring and researching employee engagement for decades and yet we still cannot settle on a definition. Understanding employee engagement requires understanding its history and its possible future.

Attendees will break out into small groups and discuss what employee engagement looks like and what are its outputs and outcomes. Before heading into the break, attendees will come back as a larger group and discuss their take aways from these conversations.

There are many myths related to employee engagement. Exploring those myths will be eye opening but also key to understanding the path forward. By having a better understanding through a review of academic research, attendees will be armed with knowledge, understanding, and clarity to begin a new direction.

After the break, special guest speaker Greg Sloan will join Nelms and Nowell and explore how one’s "purpose" impacts engagement and retention. Attendees will be encouraged to share their purpose and experiences with engagement and retention at their organization.

At the end of this cohort, attendees will have the opportunity to ask our expert speakers any lingering questions they may have. Nelms and Nowell will also provide a glimpse into what they will be sharing during the next cohort, taking place on June 28, 2022.
