Pre-Conference Workshop

Our program starts on Tuesday, 19 September with a special one day pre-conference workshop designed for companies that are realizing that their employees hold the key to their future success. Improve Productivity and Profitability – How to Act on Ideas features a morning program on introduction to employee involvement, and afternoon program on business planning and a copy of the 2005 Statistical Report to use for creating benchmarks for your company’s program for just $325 (early registration discount).

The day begins with the benefits of an employee involvement program for a company, how to start a program, why leadership support is critical to a program’s success and how to track your success by using benchmarks provided in the EIA statistical report (included in your registration fee). The session continues after lunch with a look at business planning for your employee involvement program. Participants will leave that day with an outline draft of a business plan to take back to your company.

Today’s business environment demands that companies do everything possible to increase productivity. Increased productivity leads to enhanced profitability. Who better to help you suggest ways your company can streamline processes, improve customer service and decrease wasted effort than your own employees? This one day workshop gives you the tools you need to harness their creative input in a meaningful way.

If you are just interested in taking the half-day session on Introduction to Business Planning, the cost is $195 (early registration discount).
