Positivity & Motivation in the Workplace with E.J. Smith 

Positive thinking in the workplace has been proven to have a significant impact on employee motivation and employee productivity. This interactive two hour Workplace Effectiveness Series session will provide tools, tips and tactics that leaders can utilize to create and sustain an environment of positivity and motivation within the workplace.

Maximize the Success of Your Employee Onboarding Process

Companies that deliver an informative orientation and implement an effective onboarding program during the first three months of employment will experience greater employee retention, an increase in employee productivity and satisfaction, and higher employee engagement.  The sooner new hires start feeling a part of your organization the sooner they will start contributing at full capacity.   

This seminar will offer innovative ways that organizations can help new hires orient into the organization, quickly learn the performance expectations of their new job, and integrate into your workplace culture. You’ll walk away from this seminar with an understanding of the difference between orientation and onboarding and an understanding of why having both is essential.  You will also learn about key information that every new employee wants from their organization.  

Assessing Employee Performance, Potential, and Readiness

To prepare for the future, successful organizations continually invest in employee succession planning and management. These organizations ensure that current leaders continually upskill and grow professionally while also building a future talent pool by identifying and developing promising potential leaders.  This Workplace Effectiveness Series seminar will provide tools, tips and techniques on how organizations can foster and sustain business success through succession planning for the future.    

Neutralizing Toxic Employees by Fostering Respect & Civility in the Workplace

A lack of respect and civility in the workplace will drag down morale, create higher turnover, and increase risks to the employer. Disrespectful, toxic and uncivil behaviors exhibited by employees have become more prevalent and often times pervasive in organizations.  These behaviors are detrimental to the well-being and productivity of employees and to the overall success of the organization.  

This Workplace Effectiveness Series seminar will explore professional behavior in the workplace. Participants will gain tactics that can be used to neutralize toxic employees and that will assist in building a foundation of positive behaviors that will foster and encourage respect and civility in the workplace.
