To improve the engagement of employees, start with the examination of outdated people policies and practices. One 20th-century philosophy was “do more with less” which prompted companies under pressure to improve revenues by letting people go which put extreme stress on machinery, supply chains, and workers to produce the maximum in the shortest time with the fewest resources.
Naturally, “do more with less” is a temporary solution. Most employees are willing to deliver more with less when occasionally asked, however, if the organization asks for the same maximized effort every week, there are consequences. Workers become tired and make mistakes. Their home lives become unbalanced, and employees’ families can experience resentment.
This webinar advocates replacing the do-more-with-less approach by identifying inefficiencies in the system and simultaneously establishing a culture that engages employees and encourages them to give discretionary effort on a regular basis.

Why Should You Attend
Quiet Quitting has always been around. In previous generations, it meant coasting at work: restricting efforts, not going beyond one’s specific job duties, and certainly not giving the extra mile.
To overcome the appeal of quiet quitting for employees, leadership can work to create a work environment where employees want to engage, feel personally rewarded, and can see a career path of growth and development.
Employees have two needs. First, they have their personal dreams and aspirations for their lives. Second, they want to feel confident about their abilities to do a job well.
Attend this webinar and get solid information on how to meet these needs of employees and how to create a culture of engaged workers.
Topic Background
“Quiet Quitting” has become a popular buzz word. When researching this topic, you discover that it means different things to different people. Some employees say they are quitting quietly because they want work-life balance. Other employees feel they are not getting the recognition or the respect they deserve and choose to do just enough that they don’t get fired.
If you are experiencing these attitudes in your company and with the people you lead, attend this webinar and learn strategies to quell quiet quitting, re-engage, refocus, and retain your employees.
