ENGAGEMENT DEFINED ▪  The death of employee satisfaction

▪  The rise of employee engagement

▪ Motivated, committed, loyal; feeling of alignment with values and purpose

▪ About belief in the employee, not just productivity or other metrics

THE CHALLENGE ▪ Alignment with other systems

▪ Elements of the engagement program

ALIGNMENT ISSUES

▪  The engagement process does not exist in a vacuum. It’s interdependent.

▪ Hiring, onboarding, evaluation, promotion processes, and more.

▪ No great engagement process will work unless all systems are healthy.

ENGAGEMENT PROCESS ISSUES Money is overrated

▪  Recognition is overindulged

It’s easy and addicting: Laura’s new job

▪  Everyone doesn’t have to get something

▪  Positive relationships, positive culture

INSTEAD, WE NEED MORE… ▪ General: choice, empowerment

▪ Specific: opportunity, L&D options

ONLINE LEARNING ▪  Training yesterday: utterly structured, geography and

time-fixed

▪  Training today: entirely flexible consumption (what, when, and how) – with an unbeatable value proposition

MY PERSONAL JOURNEY ▪  I resisted going online! University courses, lynda.com

and others, MOOCs, and more.

▪ Professors were told lecture is dead: mix it up, supplement with online.

▪ NO! I will prove that “in-person” rules…

▪ But… that does not change the fact that learning styles vary widely

MY PERSONAL JOURNEY

▪  Then I thought about continuous learning

▪  Then I thought about training

▪  THEN I got a call from lynda.com

PEOPLE, NOT PROGRAMS ▪ People are not motivated by programs

▪  They are motivated by people

▪ What if you got 90% of the value of coaching / training for 1% of the cost?

▪ Great communicators can create change

ANY EVIDENCE? ▪ Organizational level: increased competitiveness,

better bottom line

▪ My personal feedback from users – wow!

THE BOTTOM LINE ▪ On the business skills side, I don’t think of lynda.com

as training.

▪  It’s a catalyst for improvement – for you, your team, and your organization.
