We’ve all heard people say it. “No one wants to work anymore”. This isn’t a new saying, in fact, there are records of companies saying this since 1894. How much truth is in it? Not much. The workplace has changed a lot in the last 130 years. Unfortunately, many companies aren’t keeping up and have outdated leadership training and management styles that drive people away. This workshop discusses the do’s and don’ts as well as some key changes to make in leadership mindset to move the organization’s employee engagement and retention forward in meaningful ways. Told with a very direct tone with an interactive style, this aim is to draw in the audience and get them to see value in making significant changes in the way they lead their teams.

This workshop gives a bit of history of changes in the workplace, from women wearing pants to work, to people no longer being able to smoke at their desks. Generational differences aside, COVID accelerated workplace transformations and employee dissatisfaction at rates that many companies have struggled to keep up with. To get leaders back on track they often attend training that helps them learn very specific things to do that they may think work but that are actually working against them. During the workshop we will put together an action plan to implement when they return to work, making this an effective method of changing leadership behavior and increasing employee satisfaction.

As a result of this workshop, leaders will understand what mindset and management style changes they need to make to have a more engaged team. They will learn what has changed over the years and they will walk away with an action plan to implement that should increase their employee engagement and retention.
