World-Class Employee Engagement

The world's top-performing organizations understand that employee engagement is a force that drives business outcomes and is a leading indicator of financial growth. Beyond the dramatic difference engaged workgroups show in productivity, profitability, safety incidents, and absenteeism, engaged organizations have 2.6 times the growth rate in earnings per share (EPS) compared to organizations with lower engagement in the same industry.

World-Class Employee Engagement will take place at locations across the United States.
