If you’ve grown weary of all the employee engagement rhetoric and the pressure to measure and move the needle there, join the ranks! This topic has been hot for a long time, yet with very little to show for it – except frustrated employees who hate annual surveys, and who stopped being honest a long time ago about it. Maybe it’s time for a change!
Most employees don’t give a rip about employee engagement, even though it is so critical to the success of their teams and organizations. You know what they do care about, though? Their own Work Joy. After all, who doesn’t want to experience joyful fulfillment, meaning, purpose, and belonging at work? Now, that is something worth measuring and working toward! Especially given that Work Joy is statistically significantly correlated (at the 0.01 level) with measures like Engagement, Connection, Trust, and Productivity.
If you’ve been looking for a new way to measure growth toward outcomes that really matter, and which employees can get excited about, you might be interested in joining the People Acuity thought leader team as they unveil their brand-new assessment tool in a webinar on February 1. It measures Work Joy, Team Connection, Confident Vulnerability, and Proactivity, and designed for the front-line employee to get behind – not for his/her boss! It has been created to ignite employees to be excited about shifting up their own outcomes and relationships, and to take responsibility for them in ways that are good for them (and for their boss and team!).
If you attend you will:
- Discover how shifting your measurement focus can dramatically impact behavior and outcomes
- Identify an under-utilized lever to igniting energy and performance in yourself and others
- Learn a 4-step process to growing Work Joy, Team Connection, Proactivity, and Confident Vulnerability in yourself and others
- Receive a discount code to experience People Acuity’s newest assessment (to be given at the webinar).
Join us for these and other exciting outcomes on February 1, at 7 a.m. CST, or 11 a.m. CST – register here: http://peopleacuity.wpengine.com/events/.
