PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

Today’s and, increasingly, tomorrow’s business environment demand that organisations get their best from their people or ‘talent leverage’ as it is known. Central to this tenet is the focus on employee and manager engagement.  The last decade has seen an explosion of organisational intent and energy to improve employee engagement. There is no doubt that the majority of organisations are embracing at least some aspects of a professional approach towards employee engagement, but market evidence questions current commitment in a sizeable proportion of them and challenges certain areas of current practice that are driven by what can be termed ‘conventional’ wisdom.

Thus, when it comes to embedding practice that optimises and/or sustains employee engagement, just how well are organisations doing? How informed are organisations in terms of their understanding of employee engagement? What is the reality in comparison to the rhetoric? Most organisations possess some form of employee engagement strategy but the question is how relevant and effective is it? Questions like these are increasingly heard despite the voluminous publication of ‘expert’ advice and sharing of ‘best practice’, some of it informed and some of it, unfortunately, not so informed.

Strategic Employee Engagement: The Six Pillars™ Bootcamp is a hands-on programme that delivers a high impact experience for managers/practitioners whilst providing them with the latest tools, techniques and a practical framework for embedding successful employee engagement practices within organisations. This intense five-day programme utilises The Six Pillars™ approach and related frameworks which connects grounded, underpinning theory with the use of Harvard organisation case studies employing our SCART methodology. Throughout the programme, you will be able to use the learned critical analysis and insight which can be applied through a 360° review of your organisation’s current employee engagement strategy. Reference is made to VaLUENTiS/VaLBS annual ‘Employee Engagement in Organisations’ research report.

The SEESP Bootcamp will provide you/your team with the requisite tools and a more adaptive approach to employee engagement strategy execution that delivers better organisational performance. This can take many forms, from, for example, (re)defining a working definition of employee engagement for understanding, communication and measurement purposes through to a strategic re-appraisal of organisation EE capabilities (actioning infrastructure) and leadership quality with accompanying potential portfolio of change initiatives. Or it could simply provide a robust reinforcement of your EE strategy ‘in-force’. Last but not least, the programme will increase your own personal critical thinking and employee engagement knowledge skills through evidence based analysis. All those successfully completing the Bootcamp are invited to our PlayMaker™ network.
