If organizations focus exclusively on the “disengaged” they miss the chance for more immediate, tangible increases in overall workforce engagement. One important but overlooked strategy: Turning happy employees who aren’t doing work that matters (“hamsters” and “honeymooners”) into fully engaged and productive employees. BlessingWhite will present a fresh way to segment employee engagement levels, share engagement drivers identified through global research, and highlight best practices in Human Resources and organizations for moving the engagement needle for these critical employees.

The session will provide a framework for categorizing their employees by five levels of engagement, a list of pitfalls to avoid and strategies (based on a global research report) HR can apply to help underutilized employees become more engaged.
