The economics of talent engagement are widely accepted, but the investment begins with how leaders engage their teams. When leaders shift their mindset from ROI to Return on Value, they energize innovation, collaboration, and discretionary effort. This webcast - scheduled for Tuesday, December 8, from 2 - 3 p.m. EST - focuses on the economic reasons to engage talent and goes beyond leaders who believe in ROI, to what leaders can do to create value from talent engagement. You'll learn examples of leaders and organizations that excel at engagement and gain insight to achieving high levels of engagement in your organization. Presenters include Rodger Stotz, chief research officer for the Incentive Research Foundation, and Jim Dittman, president of Dittman Incentive Marketing.
