Dear Government HR, Communications and Employee Relations Professionals:

Pick up a handful of corporate annual reports these days and you'll find that 8 out of 10 of them say something along the lines of "our employees are our greatest asset." Yet read further and you'll find that that's the first and last thing most companies say about how they get the most out of that tremendous asset. Leaders at the top of organizations make all kinds of promises to their stakeholders, customers, clients, and citizens that employees are expected to keep, but they often forget to think about how to galvanize employees to deliver on those promises. The best organizations close this gap between the promise-makers and the promise-keepers. Further, they don't just instruct their employees, they ENGAGE them.

How Will This Conference Help You And Your Organization?

This conference will help you truly leverage your organization's greatest asset – its employees – by engaging them emotionally and intellectually in the organization's cause and business objectives.

You will learn best practices from leading organizations who have figured out how to tap into employees' hearts and minds to deliver bottom-line results. This conference will feature both case study presentations and hands-on, interactive workshops, with plenty of time to discuss and network with other government professionals in your field.
