Keynote by Lisa Ryan: Manufacturing Engagement: Smart Strategies to Keep Your Top Talent from Becoming Someone Else’s

The manufacturing, construction, and distribution industries were facing a talent shortage, aging workforce, and inadequate pipeline of younger workers before the pandemic. Today, it’s even more crucial to RETAIN the employees that you already have on your team. Now that employees have found they have lots of options when it comes to how, when, and where they can get their work done, your business needs to adjust to this new work environment.

Companies that succeed in the post-pandemic economy, are those that figure out how to master technology, community, and collaboration. Yes, employees still must show up at work to get the work done, but business owners may need to adjust and adapt to new ways of engaging and communicating with employees and their leadership teams.

It’s going to be awhile before we figure out what the next normal is going to be, but whatever those changes are – there is no more “business as usual.” The only thing we know for certain right now is that things are going to change.

If you want to keep your top talent from becoming someone else’s, it’s time to master a few simple strategies now … and reap the rewards for years to come.

By participating in this program your participants will:

Discover the five contributing factors to lead to employee engagement

Drive the creation of productivity-enhancing ideas by providing a safe environment for employees to fail

Identify the top three management actions that create an employee’s emotional connection to the organization

Explore the biggest drivers of job satisfaction and discuss strategies for implementation

Assess how to connect with employees from both a personal and professional standpoint during trying times

Keynote by Lisa Ryan: Sweat the Small Stuff: Why Attention to Detail Helps You Create a Corporate Culture that Rocks

If you want your organization to be a force for the future, it’s critical that you recognize and engage your employees more powerfully than you have in the past. Legendary cultures start with a commitment to building a foundation of trust, supporting your employees in their career aspirations, applauding their efforts and serving the mission that is greater than your company alone.

When organizations pay attention to the “little things,” they maintain a higher retention rate, improved productivity and increased profitability than companies who ignore the niceties that create a positive corporate culture. With Gallup reporting that approximately 68% of the workforce is disengaged or actively disengaged, this clearly is an issue you don’t want to ignore.

This session is chock-full of ideas, interactions and implementable actions that attendees can put into practice immediately. “Sweat the Small Stuff” gives you the tools you need to succeed.

By attending this program, participants will:

Effectively articulate and recognize employee accomplishments in the way THEY want to be acknowledged

Develop an engagement program based on authentic action aligned with your company culture

Create a foundation of trust that creates emotional connection to the organization

Verbalize specific feedback – both positive and negative – to acknowledge employee contributions and give them the tools they need for further development
