Managing Your Workforce: What Managers Need to Change to Sustain Morale and Productivity

WHY ATTEND

Maybe your company is bringing in new business and can’t hire fast enough. Or maybe you’ve experienced turnover and now four people do the work of seven. Either way, your team is stretched and productivity and morale are suffering.

Ineffective managers freeze and hope the problem resolves itself. It seldom does. But successful leaders take ownership of the problem. They realize it’s their job to proactively earn the team’s commitment to achieving both short and long term goals.

In this 60-minute presentation, leadership expert Carol Hacker will show you how the best get it done.
