Retention Webinars

 

Designer Leadership: One Shoe Does Not Fit All
By Karla Brandau
President of Karla Brandau & Associates
June 26, 12pm EDT

Trying to squash every employee into the same size of shoes would be ridiculous. In the same way, applying motivation techniques to employees in a cookie cutter fashion is just as ludicrous.  The person who takes the time to flex their leadership style for the individuals they manage will out produce those who insist on one shoe fits all. In the process of flexing their leadership style, they improve retention rates in their organization.
 
This session discusses ways to lead and motivate employees who vary on a continuum from being:
  • Logical decision makers to emotional decision makers
  • Direct communicators to indirect communicators
  • Results oriented workers to process oriented workers
  • Steady workers to working in bursts of brilliance
This program gives valuable insights to managers and helps them design their leadership style to decrease conflict and increase morale. Increased retention is the direct result.

Leading with Humanity and Heart
By Coke Newell
Author of The Edaphic Code: A Leadership Model for Results and Retention
June 28, 12:00 EDT
 
There are two generally recognized approaches to leadership: one that focuses on tasks and another that focuses on relationships. Our research documents that as the leader focuses on relationships, productivity--as well as retention--increases.
 
This presentation will introduce a visual, learnable model of "new leadership" that will move managers to an entirely new level of leadership capacity and leadership success.
 
Harvard University's Dean Williams, author of Real Leadership, has said of this model:
It enables profound lessons on the wise and responsible use of authority and the exercise of leadership. Any authority figure- mother or father, king or queen, manager or supervisor- will benefit from this presentation.
This webinar discusses the risks of leadership, authority, and accountability and participants learn how to:
  • Produce results through others
  • Create an environment that retains employees
  • Influence outcomes in a collaborative way
  • Avoid task-focused styles of leadership

Employee Retention: Why is it important?

As you know, it is getting more difficult to find and keep talented workers.  U.S. businesses spend over $200 billion annually recruiting and replacing employees. 

Estimates show 48 to 65 percent of the workforce is dissatisfied with their current employment situation and could leave for better positions as the economic situation continues to improve. Unemployment is the lowest it has been since 2000. By 2010 we could expect a shortage of nearly seven to ten million workers.  

The Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the Wall Street Journal website completed the Job Recovery Survey. The key findings revealed 64 percent of employees said they were extremely likely to begin or increase the intensity of their job search.  An additional 19 percent said they were somewhat likely to increase their search. This one-day workshop will show you how to:

  • Build a high retention workforce that reduces employee turnover
  • Help people reach greater levels of productivity leading to higher job satisfaction
  • Improve employee motivation
  • Transform the entire workforce into a high-retention culture--saving organizations countless thousands of dollars 
  • Apply easy to implement advice focusing on all industries including healthcare, manufacturing, service, high tech, and professional firms
