Episode 14: Employee Engagement

About this episode

The episode explores the complexities of employee engagement and introduces a framework for understanding it in the workplace.

Employee engagement isn’t a one-size-fits-all concept—and in the latest episode of the Leadership Trademarked Podcast, we’re exploring exactly why. After hours of deep discussion, we’ve introduced a framework to help clarify what “engagement” really means in the workplace. Along the way, we unpack practical leadership strategies, discuss the impact of COVID-19 on social behaviour, and explore new ways to navigate uncertainty in today’s workforce. Our big revelation? Genuine engagement truly flourishes when leaders bring their full humanity to the table. Tune in to hear how our featured leaders use tangible tools and rituals to foster a more interconnected, human-centric environment.
