Employees: your greatest asset or liability? Are your employees costing you money or helping you build success? It begins with the heart. Employee engagement is one of the greatest drivers of the success of your business. An engaged employee can impact your strategic goals, customers, new hires, bottom line, and business. Likewise, disengaged employees cost you money without negative employee or customer interactions. Engaging Your Employees addresses the current state of low engagement across the US and identifies relationship-centered strategies to improve employee commitment through enhanced engagement.
