By Sam Russell – July 2016

Research clearly shows us that the more engaged employees are, they more they will develop and utilise their capabilities and, as a result, the bigger and more positive an impact they make and the more commercially and culturally successful your business will be.

Recognition and Reward programs have long been part of the employee offering but with emerging talent trends suggesting it’s going to be harder to attract, develop and retain employees, how do we better leverage these programs to better align our people to purpose?

We at the Australian L&D Network are super-excited to announce that Kylie Croot, Senior Consultant with Redii, will be hosting our upcoming Brisbane networking session, overviewing and discussing the ways a good Recognition and Rewards program can effect workforce engagement and development.

Session content:

• The principles of frequency and social reach with context to recognition
• Who is really responsible for driving cultural change?
• Flipping investment in recognition and reward on its head
• How can you change the status quo when it comes to investing in recognition and reward?
• How can frequency and transparency change the traditional recognition and reward model?
• The added business benefits of social recognition

Time: 3.30pm – 5pm

Where: Saxons Training Facilities (Brisbane) – Level 11, 300 Adelaide Street, Brisbane (Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane session TBC ASAP!)

Catering: Wine, Tea, Coffee & Nibbles will be provided

Pre & Post-workshop: Networking/socialising will continue after the presentation for those wishing to do so.

Cost: Free

Limited spaces available – email your details ASAP to AustralianLDN@yahoo.com.au to secure your place.

This is a regular afternoon session hosted in a workshop style for Learning & Development Managers, or those working in a similar capacity. In addition to the workshop, this is a great opportunity for networking and sharing best practice with other L&D Managers from various businesses and industry sectors…we hope you can make it and join in…obviously feel free to forward this invite to anyone else you know in the L&D community.
