The future of employee engagement: Then, now & next — Chicago

In the era of employee experience, enterprises can make or break their success based on how they align and activate their employees. In this FREE IN-PERSON ONLY seminar, we take you on a journey through the employee engagement evolution, showing you where industry leaders are today and what the future of employee engagement will look like in 2025 and beyond. How will we engage the next generation of employees? Join us to find out.

The employee engagement reckoning

The employee engagement reckoning is upon us. 87% of the workforce is disengaged, and Gallup estimates that low engagement is costing $8.8tr per annum – 9% of the global GDP. Leaders are being called on to move the dial, and in the face of economic downturn, the stakes are higher than ever.

Today’s enterprises understand that employee disengagement is draining the bottom line and that behind every happy customer is a happy employee. Attracting, retaining, and enabling top talent is mission-critical. But when it comes to the recipe for creating an engaged workforce, the ultimate blueprint remains an ever-evolving work in progress.

But that doesn’t mean we haven't made significant progress in the last few years. Through this period of experimentation and technological revolution, much has been learned about what it takes to align and activate the workforce. Now, it’s time to take stock of those successes and failures and get clear on the path ahead.

What to expect

In this seminar, we map together trends, insights, and stories from enterprises leading the way to help you navigate the complex and exciting world of employee engagement. See best-in-class examples from some of Gallup’s Exceptional Workplaces and find out what these organizations are doing to stand out from the crowd. Discover the tactics that are working today, and get a glimpse of what the future of the engaged workforce could look like based on the driving forces at play.

We also put you face-to-face with your local community of EX trailblazers so you can share experiences with like-minded peers and collaborate on solutions to shared challenges.

Whether you’re a business leader, an internal comms pro, an HR visionary, or a digital transformation specialist, this masterclass is designed to break functional silos and bring together the people with the power to shape the engaged workforce of tomorrow.
