Current research points to the erosion of employee engagement as the single greatest business challenge that organizations face today. The majority of your scientists, engineers and IT professionals are working hard, but given the economic difficulties we now face, longer hours, time pressures and on-going uncertainty is having an adverse affect on today’s technical workforce. Innovation, quality, collaboration and time to market are all compromised if you have a technical workforce which is not fully engaged. And there is a unique set of challenges that come with engaging technical professionals.

In this audio conference, Bruce Fern, Chief Engagement Officer at Performance Connections, presents research on how the genetic wiring of most technical professionals is different than other occupational groups, the newest research on engagement and how it relates to the technical workforce, and top strategies for engaging technical professionals.
