Smart business leaders understand the link between process and people and they work every day to boost the return on their most valuable asset--their people.  Research has established that employee engagement is a leading indicator of future business performance and success. Employee satisfaction, tenure, and organizational perception are all linked to individual engagement and performance level. Join the MWCC and popular September 2010 quarterly meeting speaker, Joe BartoFounder and President of Training Modernization Group, to learn how to make employee engagement a top priority. 


Employee engagement is a direct result of organizational culture and team stability.  In order to increase employee engagement and build a dream team capable of a lean journey, a cultural change must take place.  A lean journey is the ultimate cultural change; it requires full involvement and empowerment of all employees, from top to bottom.  Whenever change is introduced, culture unfailingly pushes back in an attempt to maintain the status quo.   Without team stability and strong leadership, culture will reject change and return to the status quo.  Unless team stability and strong leadership can guide change to overcome the inevitable cultural push back, a lean journey is doomed to failure.


This workshop will show how to effect a cultural change that will sustain a lean journey.  It will provide steps to maximize engagement and organizational/team stability through goal alignment, leader development, team engagement, overhead reduction and improved employee performance.  It will cover methodologies for analyzing return on investment for human capital management programs and assessing internal cost drivers associated with implementation. These methodologies will be shown though case studies and discussions on how to synchronize and integrate people improvement programs into and in direct support of every lean initiative.
