Workplaces are being challenged like never before, but difficulty always presents opportunity. In this special presentation tailored for human resource professionals, employee-morale expert Tom Terez shows how HR can make the difference in turning these trying times into a time of renewed workplace morale. Tom brings hope, humor, and fresh thinking. You'll leave with practical ideas you can put to work right away. Are you doing all you can? To build morale in times like these, you need five building blocks. As the session unfolds, you'll learn about each in detail. Are you communicating in the right way? It's not enough simply to circulate more information to employees. You need to be a thoughtful communicator who conveys helpful themes and unifying messages. You'll learn what it takes. Has your organization laid people off, or are layoffs on the horizon? Morale can slip into a downward spiral, but it doesn't have to be that way. You'll learn how to stabilize and strengthen morale even when having to downsize. Are you good at juggling? You need to be because morale-building requires multiple intelligences, including emotional intelligence. You'll learn all the ways you need to be smart. Are you working on a tight budget? We thought so. That's why this session focuses on low-cost and no-cost ideas for building employee morale.
