“Engagement in and of itself isn’t good enough. Are we focused on the right things, and are we organized around what matters?”
-Tara Lockyer
Employee Engagement is a key indicator of success for most organizations and is a critical component for retention in a hot labour market. And yet, what if you have ultra-high engagement scores that don’t correlate to customer satisfaction and the bottom line? Listen to this episode to explore what else we need to consider when it comes to creating a great place to work.
My guest is Tara Lockyer who is the Chief People Officer at ATB Financial, a large banking company servicing the Province of Alberta. In her role, Tara is responsible for all People programs including Compensation, Talent, Leadership Development, Shared Services Operations and HR Business Partnering. She has deep, global experience in the Talent Management area, and brings great wisdom to our conversation.
In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:
🍏 Why you need to look beyond those employee engagement scores
🍏 Insights about the “next normal” and the hybrid workplace
🍏 The importance of reflection as a career practice
