Morning Workshop:
Ensuring sustainable engagement and avoiding employee burnout

Organisations are facing the acute challenge of engaging employees in an environment of skill shortages where employees are working longer hours or are given additional roles.

While employees are engaged, they’re at the risk of burnout. This insight is the result of extensive research conducted with nearly 4,000 full-time employees from building, construction, agribusiness, shared services and information technology businesses.

Ultimately, organisations must ensure that they’re engaging a sustainable, healthy and productive workforce. For some organisations, this means getting back to basics and investing in their people, moving from treating employees as a cost to providing value.

Through discussion, research data analysis and practical case studies, this interactive workshop explores how to:

• Recognise signs of employee burnout
• Identify the risks of employee burnout and its effect on productivity and decision-making
• Ensure a sustainable, healthy workforce
• Measure sustainable engagement

To succeed in today’s brutal marketplace, organisations need to focus on fostering and reinforcing employee commitment and loyalty.

In an era where the competition for talent is global, internal communications measurement requires more than an employee satisfaction survey. Even without obvious problems, communication measurement can improve performance. This highly interactive workshop explores the innovative and cost effective measurement practices that you can use to drive engagement at every level of your organisation. It also looks at the follow-up tools and measurement strategies that will engage your leaders and shape their behaviour.

Based on international case studies and best practice, this workshop is about taking the theory and making it real for your organisation, including how to:

• Adapt practical measurement tools, such as “deep dives”, to defi ne, assess and develop engagement tools and methodologies at all levels of your organisation
• Develop engagement strategies that really work, including building leadership capability and profi le, introducing team briefs
• Manage organisational change through measurement
• Measure the results and link them to performance
