This one day workshop is designed for HR/OD or Business Partner staff who will be required to advise, influence and persuade leaders, chief executives and senior managers in order to generate commitment and energy within the organisation through workforce/employee engagement and communications.

The principles and process of workforce and employee engagement and communications are well documented. However, developing an understanding and appreciation of the importance of top management commitment to this and the essential behaviour / practices that can either gain or undermine credibility and support is an important step in engaging the workforce. How do we create credibility for change? This workshop will explore efficacy of leadership, influencing and persuading and creating commitment and energy and the use of tools and techniques which can be utilised to assist in building the behaviours and practices that gain the support, credibility and engagement of your workforce.
