ENGAGEMENT DEFINED ▪ The death of employee satisfaction
▪ The rise of employee engagement
▪ Motivated, committed, loyal; feeling of alignment with values and purpose
▪ About belief in the employee, not just productivity or other metrics

THE CHALLENGE ▪ Alignment with other systems

ALIGNMENT ISSUES
▪ The engagement process does not exist in a vacuum. It’s interdependent.
▪ Hiring, onboarding, evaluation, promotion processes, and more.
▪ No great engagement process will work unless all systems are healthy.

ENGAGEMENT PROCESS ISSUES Money is overrated
▪ Recognition is overindulged

▪ Everyone doesn’t have to get something
▪ Positive relationships, positive culture

INSTEAD, WE NEED MORE… ▪ General: choice, empowerment
▪ Specific: opportunity, L&D options

ONLINE LEARNING ▪ Training yesterday: utterly structured, geography and
time-fixed
▪ Training today: entirely flexible consumption (what, when, and how) – with an unbeatable value proposition

MY PERSONAL JOURNEY ▪ I resisted going online! University courses, lynda.com
and others, MOOCs, and more.
▪ Professors were told lecture is dead: mix it up, supplement with online.
▪ NO! I will prove that “in-person” rules…
▪ But… that does not change the fact that learning styles vary widely

▪ THEN I got a call from lynda.com

PEOPLE, NOT PROGRAMS ▪ People are not motivated by programs
▪ They are motivated by people
▪ What if you got 90% of the value of coaching / training for 1% of the cost?
▪ Great communicators can create change

ANY EVIDENCE? ▪ Organizational level: increased competitiveness,
better bottom line

THE BOTTOM LINE ▪ On the business skills side, I don’t think of lynda.com
as training.
▪ It’s a catalyst for improvement – for you, your team, and your organization.
