Creating employee engagement ownership –
"‘keeping the conversation going"

After a staff survey has been run and the dust has settled, keeping employee engagement high on the agenda can be a daunting proposition for any organisation.

In this section of the morning event, ORC International's Phil Pringle will use real life examples to showcase organisations that have managed to raise the profile of employee engagement in their businesses and create ownership at all levels.

We will explore the benefits of linkage analysis, building engagement Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) into performance appraisals and look at different tactics to get staff and managers involved in the action planning process.

The individual nature of motivation

In the second half of the session, Ben Palmer from GENOS will discuss the need to create a shared ownership model.

He will describe how the traditional engagement approach does not always drive engagement. Organisations need to ask individuals what motivates them, and individuals need to take responsibility for themselves, whilst being supported by managers. Ben will outline the GENOS approach to individualising engagement and how this can complement your employee engagement survey.
