The State of the American Workplace and How it Relates to Central Iowa

Todd McDonald, PHR, President  Read Todd's full bio here

Since 2010 the Gallup organization has surveyed employees and  organizations  on the state of the American workplace nationwide.  The most  recent report talks to issues such as engagement, the virtual workforce and    what employees see in the leaders of their organizations.  In this session,  we’ll take a look at what central Iowa organizations need to be  considering for 2020.  More specifically, we’ll cover: The current state of engagement in today’s workplace and how the low unemployment rate in Iowa is impacting employee engagement. The benefits and challenges of having over 40% of our workforce working virtually or remotely.  What employees really think of the job their leaders are doing and what central Iowa leaders (at all levels of organizations) can do take help retain great employees. Be sure to bring key individuals in your organization to help them begin their  planning process to take your organization to the next level in 2020.
