Building Blocks for Employee Engagement

The Conference Board of Canada is pleased to present Building Blocks for Employee Engagement, a 60-minute webinar with David Zinger that explores his 10 steps to employee engagement, which has shaped what he calls the employee engagement pyramid. This webinar looks into one of today’s big challenges—maintaining high levels of employee engagement. Knowing engagement needs to be addressed is not enough. Leaders need a roadmap. David Zinger’s building blocks provide just that, because what worked in the past cannot be assumed the standard “default” approach in the future.

A clear trend is developing in the method selected by companies to improve the alignment of pay and performance outcomes—the increased usage of long-term performance plans instead of traditional stock options and restricted stock awards. The increased complexity of these plans, as compared to options and restricted shares makes it critical for all those accountable to shareholders for executive pay decisions to understand the challenges they face in getting their performance plans right.
