Why is it that some companies have energized, “can do”, hard-working employees who think and act like business owners; while others have employees who constantly complain, seem to think only of themselves, and have a “what have you done for me lately” attitude?

In this seminar, you’ll find out why.

You’ll find out how to use the research done on the best companies and the best managers to create a workforce of true champions.

Your knowing this is especially important during difficult economic times.

In fact, research by Watson Wyatt Worldwide showed that during the last economic downturn, companies that knew how to motivate and engage their employees had 200% greater profitability than those companies where employees had a “Whatever…” “It’s all about me” attitude.

For Maximum Results: Bring a team comprising a senior level executive, an HR professional, and at least one middle manager or supervisor. Even better, include an up and coming frontline employee in your group. Creating a “Workforce of Champions” is a team effort. It’s not just an “HR Thing” or a “Management Thing.”  One of the common practices of world class companies like Baptist Healthcare System and Northeast Delta Dental is that they involve all employees in making their company great.
