| Beyond Action Planning: The Manager’s Role in the Engagement Equation Date: March 20, 2013Time: 2:30 p.m. ET Duration: 1 Hour Cost: This is a Complimentary Online Webinar Event Description: As organizations move toward leaner, flatter and more matrix-based structures, the pace of change, innovation and the volume of communications are all growing. As a result, managers are caught between a rock and a hard place: more fluid, ambiguous and fast-paced work environments and, as player-coaches, less time to spend on their long list of competing priorities. So what do most organizations do? Many add “engagement action planning” to managers’ to-do lists, placing the burden of employee engagement solely on the managers’ shoulders. And the results? At best, patchy. Worst, disengagement occurs. That’s because managers cannot make employees engaged; they can only facilitate their team members’ engagement journeys. And even the best-intentioned managers will shelve extra work such as action planning while they tackle their day jobs. In this webinar, Christopher Rice and Mary Ann Masarech, two authors of The Engagement Equation: Leadership Strategies for an Inspired Workforce, will explore the challenges of equipping managers with the expectations, skills and tools to create a workforce that is enthused and in gear—achieving more great days at work and more great results for the organization. The authors will share a model for the role that managers need to play, examples of organizations that successfully built the commitment and competence of managers in creating more engaged teams, and pitfalls to avoid. Please join us for what is sure to be an engaging and informative event. Space is limited, so register today!
