If you have grappled with the challenges of successfully communicating and engaging non-desk employees — including not wired, work in shifts and speak different languages — you won’t want to miss this webinar.
When our guest Laura Barbour, Formica European Engagement Manager, joined Formica –
- there wasn’t an IC function in place and
- no formalized channels of engagement.
- On top of that, the company was going through a challenging financial time;
- a broken relationship with unions and
- engagement scores which were dropping year on year.
Laura will share how she worked with the new leadership team to improve engagement when over 80% of them are non-desk workers and do not have access to computers or email at work.
Key takeaways
- Building an IC function from scratch
- Working with HR to create and conduct an engagement audit
- Creating a strategy based on that feedback
- What tactics were put in place to reach all employees
- And how Formica measured success
