BCBS ON-DEMAND WEBINAR
The 4 Pillars of Driving Employee Engagement
There are many intricacies to elevating your workforce. Every detail matters, from the words you choose, to the length of your survey, to how you listen, and what you benchmark. With engaged employees being 4.6 times more likely to be customer-centric compared to disengaged employees, and the total cost of replacing an employee being between 90% to 200% of their annual salary, it is imperative that the Blues organizations run their engagement programs right.
Listen in as Kris Erickson, Partner and Director of Consulting at Workforce Science Associates, shares the 4 pillars of driving employee engagement. Then hear how Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina applied those best practices to see an increase in every category of engagement, including a 10-percentage point increase in manager effectiveness.
What you'll learn from this webinar:
- The blend of applying science and art in how you measure employee engagement
- How to activate the organization in a way that drives meaningful improvement
- What it takes to help your employee engagement program stick and be long lasting
All registrants will also receive access to “Who Do Your Employees Trust?”, a whitepaper written to provide employers direction on employee listening during times of crisis.
