Return to Office Without Killing Employee Engagement

Nov. 20, 2024 // 12 Noon ET

Employees are more likely to “quit and stay” — or disengage — if they’re required to return to the office. But mere presence isn’t enough; you need a team that’s eager and energized.

Let’s flip the script. Instead of worrying about losing engagement, let’s use the return to the office as a chance to ignite enthusiasm and connection among our teams.

Join TalentMap founder Sean Fitzpatrick, CultureRx®, LLC founder Jody Thompson and Visions Productivity Solutions founder Nicole Chamblin for a conversation moderated by Rep Cap CEO Mary Ellen Slayter, to learn how to turn potential disengagement into a renewed sense of community and purpose.
