Join Professor Mario Vafeas and Dr Ed Little (Bristol Business School) who will be sharing and discussing research recently completed on employee engagement. The research investigates a phenomenon called alienation which can lead to reduced job performance and negative wellbeing.

Who is this workshop for:

  • Anyone with leadership or people management responsibilities
  • Anyone with customer experience responsibilities given the relationship between employee motivation and customer experience/satisfaction
  • Any agency considering the possible transition to employee ownership would also find it very relevant.

What will the workshop cover:

  • The causes and consequences of employee alienation
  • How it varies within and between businesses
  • How firms could reduce alienation by adopting some of the practices found in employee-owned firms
  • How some employee-owned practices can lead to tensions if not managed correctly.

Format:

  • lunch/networking
  • welcome and guest speaker (James de le Vingne, CEO of the Employee Ownership Association)
  • presentation of the research findings
  • interactive workshops
  • panel discussion to address issues emerging from the workshops.
