Wake Up Call: 10 top tips for creating a successful and engaging working culture
BCI Webinar
Why are some organisations more able to recruit and retain their people than others? And why do some people perform better, with stronger employee engagement and a willingness to go the extra mile? It’s often down to the culture of an organisation.
Culture is becoming increasingly important to employees. If you need any convincing, consider this. A Glassdoor survey found 77% of respondents would consider a company’s culture when searching for a new job.
The good news is that you can create an engaging working culture. It’s all about how your people feel about working for you – and that’s something you can influence.
That’s where this presentation will help.
Join company culture specialist Rich Roberts who will share his experiences over 30 years, developing positive and motivating cultures within organisations.
In 15 minutes, you’ll discover the three key ingredients in creating an engaging culture – connection, purpose and trust.
Who is it for?
You might be working in an HR generalist role, or perhaps be a senior manager with people responsibility who wants to realise the benefits that an engaging culture can bring. We are confident that anyone interested in how organisational culture is changing, and where the future of work is going, will get useful takeaways from this event.
