October 14, 2008

The U.S. is facing economic crisis and an uncertain future with increasing unemployment rates. While the impact of this crisis is still not completely clear, we can look at the immediate effect on employees. How disconcerting is it for the average employee to hear of business failures and watch their 401(k) drop 20%? How could productivity and engagement not suffer under these extreme circumstances?

Thankfully, there are many things that managers and organizations can do to maintain productivity and engagement in troubling times. In this complimentary webinar, i4cp Talent Pillar Director Mary Ann Downey will discuss five approaches your organization can utilize to keep employees motivated, maintain productivity and actually improve engagement. Topics include telecommuting, flexible work hours and more.

The webinar starts at 1pm EDT (10am PDT) on Thursday, October 16th, 2008.
