2022 EmployER Engagement & Retention Master Class: Cohort 3 | Measurement Principles of Engagement & Retention

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

Employee engagement and retention both can have significant financial impact on organizations. Any effort to improve employee engagement and retention should begin with defining the financial gains that organizations will obtain if improvements are made. Participants will learn a simple approach to calculating cost of turnover and a model for measuring workforce productivity.

Once attendees learn Nelms' and Nowell's approach for calculating turnover, they will break out into small groups and assist each other with analyzing and calculating employee engagement costs for each other's organizations.

Upon returning from the break, attendees will come together as a group and debrief their findings. Who had the highest costs? Who had the lowest? What was the average for the whole class? Uncover the answers to these questions in this engaging session!

In today’s ultra-competitive and challenging environment, the voice of the employee must be a priority for organizations. Employee surveys have become a standard practice in most organizations. Too often these surveys are methodologically flawed and fail to provide the data necessary to make evidence-based decisions.

The "Voice of the Employee" approach must take into consideration the best methods and requires listening across the entire employee life cycle. Once conducting effectively, communication with leaders and front-line staff is critical.

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 will be sharing during the final cohort, taking place on October 25, 2022.
