Joseph Machicote, Vice President
of Organizational Development
for Snyder's-Lance, Inc.
Topic
Diversity is the process of creating representation in the workplace. Inclusion is the process of creating a positive work environment that is conducive to productivity. Engagement is the process of leveraging the positive work environment in order to yield the most productivity from associates so that the customer experience is optimized.
Associates leave for work everyday with an expectation of what the workplace holds for them. This expectation is created through the tone of the environment created by their leader. If the tone is negative, inconsistent, threatening, or disrepectful, the employee may show up to work, but productivity is impeded. If the workplace is engaging, progressive, and inclusive, the employee is more likely to be loyal to the organization and leader, and thus be more productive.
In this session, Joe Machicote will explore culturally competent, emotionally intelligent leadership skills that lead to the creation of a diverse and inclusive environment that fosters engagement and leads to productivity in the workplace. The differentiator for business these days has come down to customer service: who can offer the best overall value for the dollar. Culturally Competent Employers with engaged employees create reputations in communities that keep customers and talented employees coming back. Learn the best tips for creating and sustaining an environment of engagement.
