Outperforming the Competition Through Employee Engagement Dr. Abbey Davis - Lecturer, Spears School of Business

According to a recent Gallup poll, only 33% of employees are engaged at work in the United States. Their research also states that workgroups who perform in the top quartile of employee engagement, outperform bottom-quartile units by 22% in profitability and 21% in productivity. With this significant impact on bottom-line results, how can we better leverage employee engagement to drive organizational performance? In this seminar, participants will learn more about the strategic advantages employee engagement can offer and what leaders can do to foster an engaged workforce. This seminar is sponsored by the Department of Management and the Center for the Future of Work in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University. Participants earn 0.3 continuing education units (CEUs) upon completion of this seminar.
