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.

Life After Merger: Integrating Teams and Retaining Top Talent

While mergers have a clear strategic value at the enterprise level, they can wreak havoc on the workforce. Employees often imagine the worst merger scenarios. The fear of job loss and reduced status, eroding cultural values and altering established ways of doing business can cause even the most dedicated of employees to become disengaged. This disengagement can turn into either the flight of your top talent, or even worse, quitting mentally but staying on the job.

In this audio conference, Bruce Fern, President and Chief Engagement Solutions Architect at Performance Connections, provides attendees with better ways of keeping the workforce engaged during and after the merger and integration of two potentially very different organizations.
