Presented by Don MacPherson
President & Co-Founder, Modern Survey

To reach peak performance, organizations need engaged employees who
are capable in their jobs and have the direction necessary to apply their
energy and skills. The flaw is that capabilities and direction are becoming
more commoditized with technology advances while leaving engagement
as the great differentiator. Engage employees and your organization succeeds.

Accelerating Peak Performance will cover why Human Resources is in an
extraordinary position today to influence what organizations need to enable
engagement, what leaders need to do to drive engagement, and what em-
ployees themselves need to own their level of engagement in order to posi-
tion their companies to achieve peak business performance.

Learning Objectives:

 1. Attendees will learn how to prepare their organizations for a work
 place that is becoming more strategic, mobile and dispersed.

 2. Attendees will learn what challenges fast paced technology innovations pose to organizational performance and how to keep employees trained on the most important technologies.

 3. Attendees will learn what roles managers and senior leaders can
 play in driving employee engagement.

 4. Attendees will learn how to set expectations for engagement between employees and managers.
