Managers impact employee engagement more than anything else!

If you really want engaged employees, you can’t dump everything on HR and hope they magically fix it all...managers MUST be the driving force!

This 4-week course, called How Great Managers Drive Employee Engagement, gives managers all the tools they need to increase employee engagement.

With the latest data, dozens of immediately actionable tools and scripts, and a step-by-step plan, every manager will learn how to drastically increase their employees’ engagement!

Every company that wants to increase employee engagement needs to send their managers to this course!

Here's The 4-Week Program Curriculum:

Each module in the program includes approximately 1-hour of video presentation. In addition to the video modules, each week will include one assignment to ensure you learned that week's content. Each participant can expect to spend around 2 hours per week on viewing the video course and coursework. Here is a listing of all the modules:

WEEK 1: DISCOVER WHAT REALLY DRIVES EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT (NEW DATA)
