| Topic: |
The Impending Workforce Crisis & How To Solve It |
|
Why Attend: By the end of this year [2007] we will have 2 million more jobs than people to fill them, in North America!Companies with money and the reputation as employers of choice will survive the crisis, many others will not. Talent management is becoming a major problem for all companies. Companies need to know their “real” current reality – not their “perceived” reality. A major nationwide study has shown that over 50% of the working population are not engaged in their work… - Learn how to increase your company’s workforce effectiveness and employee engagement.
- Understand the workforce crisis and its relation to your current workforce.
How well do you know your workforce? Successful businesses are finding it more important than ever to understand the motivation, needs, and intentions of their employees and to translate this information into policies and practices that build efficiency and effectiveness. The WorkForce Analysis Profile™ is the first step in strengthening a company’s workforce and eliminating many of its persistent and expensive problems. The WorkForce Analysis Profile™ was developed as the result of a $2.3 million study that surveyed almost 8,000 employees representing a cross-section of major industries. These individuals were matched to the national population so as to be truly representative in regard to gender, age, ethnicity, income level, and job title. Twenty-four major corporations were involved to ensure that the survey was on target with their reality. The process produced an accurate and comprehensive look at workers and established national norms for mission-critical characteristics. What is an Engaged Employee? The study also found that when employees are “engaged,” they are excited and enthusiastic about the work they do and they are focused on accomplishing the task at hand. They are not easily distracted and will work extra hours if that’s what it takes to complete a project. They eagerly volunteer for difficult assignments, routinely producing significantly more than their job requires. They also encourage coworkers to achieve higher levels of performance and seek ways to help them accomplish projects and tasks. Engaged employees are proud to be members of their organizations. They are advocates of their company’s products and services and they are very likely to stay with their company. Do you want that kind of employee? Come to an interactive seminar presented by master speaker Arun Channan and take the first step toward building a satisfied and productive workforce that increases your revenues and reduces costs in your organization. |
