Seeing the failures of traditional employee engagement methods, seeing companies struggle to keep up with a changing workforce, the team behind Widgets went into the field. They asked pointed and predictive questions of employees around the world. What emerged from the research, from the clear patterns inside those organizations, and from what they’ve seen work were 12 imperatives. Call them the New Rules of Engagement.

In this Soundview Live webinar, Managing Employees As If They’re Real People, Rodd Wagner provides a guide to better understanding human nature on the job and to understanding each of the New Rules that emerged from the team’s extensive research. It’s a guide for ferreting out and fixing all the ways your company treats its people like widgets.
