    The majority of employees are disengaged, their discretionary efforts tamed, passions for work fleeting, and ideas tethered. But, none of that needs to stop you or your HR results. Discover truths about what works at work today; why engagement is a symptom, not the problem; what transparency really means at work; and how to be a trusted HR leader in an era of distrust. Explore what’s changed and changing, plus essential skills needed in this new era. Based on research from the presenter’s new book Trust, Inc.: How to Create a Business Culture That Will Ignite Passion, Engagement & Innovation which releases in November 2013 from Career Press.

    Learning Objectives:

    •          Eliminate myths and common mistakes from decades past that may be hijacking HR and organizational results
    •          Apply practical how-tos for enabling engagement, innovation, and natural followership
    •          Explore why knowing how to build authentic trust is a required skill in the new workplace
