DESCRIPTION:Join Marilu Goodyear\, Ph.D.\, and Jordan Atkinson\, Ph.D.\, with KU School of Professional Studies and the Center for Workplace Excellence as they discuss surprising workplace research results and introduce KU's new Center for Workplace Excellence.Employee Engagement Have you ever wondered about the pros and cons of engaged employees?  Leaders often aim to take actions that increase employee engagement assuming the impact will be positive.  But what exactly is the return on investment according to research?  Participants will learn ways that engagement matters and what leaders and co-workers can do to enhance the impact along with the opportunity to share what engages you at work.  Before Day One  What happens before an employee's first day may shape far more than organizations realize. In an era when onboarding often begins through email\, portals\, and early touchpoints\, this session examines why the pre-boarding period deserves much more intentional attention.  Tune in to learn why the pre-boarding period matters and best practices organizations can use to reduce uncertainty and foster connection. Center for Workplace ExcellenceIn addition to providing research-based insight into employee engagement and what you can do before employee's first day\, we will briefly explore how the new center for professional development at the Edwards Campus uses social science research to craft and deliver educational programs that work for a variety of organizations and circumstances.Register here: https://sps.ku.edu/professional-edge
