Engagement Increases Productivity!

Employee engagement numbers have remained relatively unchanged over the last several years, yet organizations continue to look for ways to positively affect their employee scores.

One important shift has been to look at a leader’s role in engaging others. 

While organizations invest significant time and resources in developing leaders to contribute to creating a culture of engagement, without the right focus, the results will be limited at best and sustainable change will be hard-fought.

One of the consistent key behaviors of successful leaders is demonstrating awareness of their impact on others.

While many organizations turn to performance metrics to manage employees, they rarely address the specific behaviors and actions of leaders that truly contribute to an engaged workplace, and one where employees want to excel day in and day out.

Join David Uhl, (LinkedIn profile) senior vice president of Aubrey Daniels International, as he discusses how an understanding of the science of behavior provides leaders with the tools they need to align their impact with their intent and in turn positively impact the behavior of those around them.

Participants in this webcast will learn:

  • How the science of behavior provides important insight into why people do what they do
  • Coaching best practices that correlate strongly to high engagement
  • Proven practices for creating positive accountability
  • Tips for how to build true engagement that leads to retaining top talent and creating a positive culture
  • Success stories of transformational leaders

Live Webinar – June 22nd, 2016 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
Presented by:  Training Magazine
Duration: 1 Hour 1  Category C  PDU – Free PDU

  • Current e-learning is boring, ineffective and lacks motivation.
  • Online training is just not engaging enough,
  • The average completion ratio of courses is 25%.
  • The ratio of employees who voluntarily enter training platforms is even worse.

And all this has a huge cost for any company.

But…how to increase the ‘engagement’ of your online training activities?

This webinar is the result of over 10 years of research and experience in the development of management skills (leadership, negotiation and time management) through game-based learning in more than 700 companies from all 5 continents.

After analyzing the impact of the video game as a training solution in more than 100,000 students worldwide, with a completion ratio of 90%, we offer you all the necessary steps to improve the engagement of your corporate training.

Throughout this session, Mak Kishun is going to show you why traditional e-learning no longer works and how to motivate your employees through something as simple as the game.

Through this webinar, you will learn:

  1. How to turn training content into tools which are directly applicable to any professional profile through the game
  2. How to avoid definitions, models and theories to offer truly useful skills through experiential learning
  3. How to link the benefits of your training to the personal and professional success of your employees
  4. How to turn your training solution into a fun, attractive and competitive challenge
  5. And how to increase the engagement of your training, achieving a completion rate of 90% thanks to the use of video games

Speakers:  Dr. Mak Kishun (LinkedIn profile) has successfully helped organizations implement e-learning programs, tools, and platforms, but considers the Game-based learning initiative to the most effective and exciting learning approach in the world of training and development. She believes that game-based learning is transforming and meeting the needs of ALL learners and will far surpass traditional methods.
