How to make your disengaged employee, one of your best or get them to leave!
When your clients and prospects interact with your business, they don’t see the CEO, they don’t see the CFO nor the COO, they see your frontline staff, and when they are actively disengaged or apathetic, you’re going to constantly have a tough time meeting your sales and growth targets, which will create a damaging spin-off effect throughout the workplace and company.
Hello, I’m Karen Chaston, the co-founder of the Chaston Centre, former CFO of a publicly listed company and CPA. During this 75-minute interactive workshop, we will be going on a short excursion, so you can work out if your employees are restraining your ability to grow.
Because if they are, how much longer do you want to live with that?
At the end of the workshop, you’ll have a clear understanding regarding:
- Disengaged employees in your company.
- How much time your disengaged employees are costing you and others in your organisation?
- The accurate financial loss your disengaged employees are costing.
- The proper psychological damage that your negative employees are spreading throughout the organisation.
- A non-legal pathway that will see your disengaged employees decide to either become engaged (and probably one of your best employees) or resign.
This workshop educates all stakeholders that when employee engagement becomes the responsibility of the leaders and each employee, you will foster creativity, innovation, accountability, agility and psychological safety.
Ensuring that your people are always working at their best, valuing each other whilst providing the best possible customer experience and returns to the company.
Karen Chaston is a business owner, beyond loss expert and international keynote speaker who has shared the stage with Marianne Williamson, Jamie-Lee Curtis, Valerie Harper and Dr Ellie Drake. She’s also an international bestselling author of nine books and numerous e-books.
She was a CPA, publicly listed company Chief Financial Officer, and senior manager in her corporate career for more than 25 years.
In July 2011, Karen’s life changed forever when her 27-year-old son, Dan, suddenly and unexpectedly passed away at her back door.
Within 15 months, she chose redundancy and began a personal, professional and spiritual journey culminating in becoming a beyond loss expert and co-founding The Chaston Centre.
Karen’s first-hand experience and her desire to find a better way to do loss – both personally and in the workplace- are the foundation for all the Chaston Centre programs.
When individuals embrace these concepts, they will easily move beyond any kind of loss and create a better everyday life.
When companies embrace these concepts, they unlock the people and profits connection. Ensuring that your people are always working at their best, valuing each other whilst providing the best possible customer experience and returns to the company.
