Accelerate Engagement and Put the Brakes on Turnover
10:05am-11:15am CDT
Science has revealed more about the brain in the last five years than in the previous thousand. The implications for organizational health and prosperity, as well as employee retention and wellness, are nothing short of astounding. Much of what has been assumed and thought to be true about effective management techniques and human relations in business turns out to be not simply ineffective, but dangerous.
Don Rheem, will apply practical insights to increasing employee engagement based on an "empirically validated theory of human behavior confirmed through breakthroughs in social neuroscience." If that sounds intense, it is! But Don covers this topic in an easy to understand way. Don will teach you how to distinguish employee engagement from employee satisfaction and how to apply that knowledge in your shop to improve staff performance and decrease turnover. Get ready to be engaged!

Let's see who can come up with the best ideas, and then commit to action to make them happen after SuperConference!
