Why should you Attend
A 2013 Gallup study revealed that only 13% of the workforce is actively engaged in their jobs. How do you keep employees engaged at every level? The importance of employee engagement can't be overstated - employee engagement strategies have been proven to reduce staff turnover, improve productivity and efficiency, retain customers at a higher rate, and make more profits.

Later research and analysis proved that an even more engaging approach in establishing a "learning culture". In a learning culture, the environment of "curiosity" and "innovation" are encouraged. Honest feedback is given, and hiring managers are more selective in their hiring practices. A learning culture ties an employee's desires to the job he or she is performing, and the organization fosters curiosity and innovation. Also critical to a learning culture is the ability of the organization to recognize shifts in direction and realign itself by taking specific steps to restore its desired results.
