April 17: Entanglement – Moving Beyond Employee Engagement

How do organizations develop the commitment and loyalty from their employees that propel performance beyond normal to extraordinary on a daily basis? What makes one organization an award winner and another scrambling to survive? What in the organization leads employees to do the best they can? It's My Company TOO!

In one word: entanglement – a phenomenon in which employee and organizational commitment to each person, system, and component of the organization is so deeply ensnared in the company’s mission, vision, values and goals that sustainable success is the outcome.

Creating an entangled organization with entangled employees at every level does not happen overnight. What are the specific actions leaders need to take to create unique environments that employees love and protect? What actions do communication professionals need to take to ensure communication efforts result in employee entanglement?

Attend this IABC/Chicago luncheon to hear from panelists Kenneth Thompson, Ph.D., Professor, DePaul University; Ramon Benedetto, DM, Founder, GuideStar Inc.; Thomas Walter, CEO, Tasty Catering; Molly Meyer, Creative Director, Nuphoriq

Co-authors of It’s My Company Too!, our panelists will:

– Define the difference between engaged and entangled employees
– Share core practices of top leaders from award winning, entangled companies
– Demonstrate the positive impact of entanglement through research and first hand experience
– Offer insights on leadership and employee entanglement communications
