Worthy intentions, but an approach that misses

Performance management has worthy intentions: To drive organizational performance while supporting individual development. But, it’s the approach that misses.

Just consider performance reviews, which elicit universal groans, destroy trust between management and employees (and employees and employees) and put a damper on employee engagement.

Why Connecting Your Talent Acquisition Strategy With Employee Engagement Is A Must

by Rebecca Warren, Mesonplas, LLC, Talent Acquisition Consultant
March 31st @ 2:00 p.m. ET

One of the best recruiting tools that a business can have is happy, engaged employees who make a positive impression on candidates and help attract other high performers. Great employee engagement programs also feed into the recruiting process, helping to engage the community of potential hires even before they have any formal contact with your business.

In practice, effective employee engagement programs have the potential to make retention and recruitment efforts easier and more effective. However, as we know, not all employee engagement programs are created equal.

In this webinar we’ll discuss what works and what doesn’t when it comes to employee engagement and look at some practical tips for recruiters and HR specialists. In particular, we’ll focus on:

  • Understanding how (and why) employee engagement starts during the recruiting process
  • Learning why employee engagement is critical to your employee value proposition (EVP)
  • Figuring out how to get engaged employees excited to be a part of your recruiting strategy

Join our free webinar on Thursday, March 31 for expert insight and a practical approach to ensuring your recruitment efforts feel the benefit of an effective employee engagement program.

Our speaker, Rebecca Warren, will share her expertise in developing short and long-term strategies to attract top talent and increase the resource pipeline, and practical advice for bringing talent acquisition and employee engagement closer together.

Who should attend? Any talent acquisition professional or recruiter who wants to bring the benefits of an engaged workforce into the recruiting process should join us on Thursday, March 31.

The webinar will fill up fast. Register for free to reserve your seat now.
