The Progress Principle: Sparking Employee Engagement and Performance

Overview

Everyday Actions That Drive Employee Engagement and Performance

Leaders face a formidable challenge in keeping employees engaged in their work—deeply involved and fully committed. Traditional motivators, like incentive systems, can get people to show up and do the work. But it takes something more to spark the passion that leads to the highest levels of creative productivity.

Recent research discovered that “something more”—progress in meaningful work, even “small wins.”

This webcast unravels the secrets of inner work life—the usually hidden emotions, perceptions, and motivations that arise as people react to events in their work day. You’ll discover how what you say and do every day can drive positive inner work life throughout your organization and fuel great performance for the long term. In addition, you find out ways to avoid the traps that can undermine inner work life and performance.
