There are many benefits of establishing an engaged workforce, including higher retention rates, greater job satisfaction, and reduced burnout. However, creating and maintaining high engagement levels is an ongoing struggle for many organizations.
In this webinar, scientists from the Shelter Employee Engagement & Development Survey (SeeDS) at UNC Charlotte will discuss some of the reasons why engagement is difficult to foster and provide actionable practices to help you in the pursuit of having more connected employees. Learn how to:
- Understand common pitfalls of establishing engagement and connectivity
- Develop a toolkit of techniques and ideas to foster and maintain employee engagement
These practices are based on data from hundreds of animal welfare organizations and thousands of their employees over the past 20 years of SeeDS assessments and research.
This session, both live and the recording, has been approved for:
