Managers Cultivating an Experience of Connection: The New Roadmap
Fostering a culture of connection for employees is one of the single most powerful drivers of attracting and retaining talent. Employees who feel a meaningful sense of connection at work are more productive, engaged, resilient, and likely to stay longer at their organization.
However, the task of delivering a cultural experience infused with connection has become far more challenging in this new era of hybrid and remote work. Research demonstrates that managers are one of the linchpins in providing a connected experience for their team members, but they’re operating without a playbook in this shifted business landscape.
Join Achievers and Contemporary Leadership Advisors for a panel discussion focused on how leaders can provide their teams with the experience of a connected culture.
Join us to learn
- The spoken and unspoken challenges that managers are facing in delivering an experience of connection
- Effective tactics to drive connection for employees who operate remotely or in a hybrid capacity
- A model of Connected Culture that managers at every level can leverage to achieve success
