It's Not Them, It's You: Why Employees "Break Up" With Their Managers and What To Do About It.
52% of US workers plan to look for a new job. Of that group, more than half landed their current job less than a year ago. People are not happy at work—and the chief cause of this is bad managers. Losing people because of managers behaving badly is very costly to business—employee turnover is expensive and can range from 1.5 to 2 times the employee’s annual salary. It’s also very costly to morale, the customer experience, and overall revenue. Business leaders must take notice.
The workplace needs to become more human, and managers are the key to bringing this about. Employees aren’t looking for super-high salaries, fancy perks, or costly value-adds. All they’re asking for… is a little RESPECT. In this talk, Laura will make the case for bringing back talking—really talking—to employees. What she has learned, through… well… really talking to people about their experiences, is that employees are looking for support, trust, and a mutually respectful relationship with their manager. The concept is simple… and effective.
In this session, learn from a veteran talent developer about:
-
Creating the kind of positive work environment where employees can feel supported and successful
-
7 steps to solving engagement issues in the workplace
-
a powerful management tool to guide conversations with, and learn about, employees and what makes them tick.
