Event Description

PLEASE NOTE: THIS WILL BE A LUNCHEON PRESENTATION

Culture and employee engagement have an impact on performance…but how do you really change it for the better?  Since culture sets the tone for an organization, and all organizations have a culture, the question is, does yours support and encourage continuous improvement?  A culture that supports CI will result in engaged employees and engaged employees will produce results.
