Experience a fun, engaging, and effective learning experience that provides practical tools for both employees and managers to boost their own engagement and create an engaged culture.
Managers and Engagement
DecisionWise provides industry-leading expertise in employee engagement through leadership training, surveys, and action planning.
Employee ENGAGEMENT MAGIC® Training is an interactive workshop designed to increase engagement by helping participants understand where they find MAGIC (Meaning, Autonomy, Growth, Impact, and Connection) in their roles, as well as how to gain that MAGIC when it is missing. Team members learn that engagement is a 50/50 proposition—the organization creates an environment in which employees can choose to engage, but it’s up to the employee to choose to engage.
ENGAGEMENT MAGIC® Revealed
By gathering and analyzing over two decades of employee engagement survey responses and numerous psychological studies, we distilled the five basic keys of employee engagement into meaning, autonomy, growth, impact, and connection, (i.e., M-A-G-I-C). Since we are all different, each of these keys plays a unique role in how engaged we are in our work (and life). The Employee ENGAGEMENT MAGIC®Training will train managers to leverage the five MAGIC keys to boost their own engagement and engage their teams to achieve greater results.
What is Your Current Level of Engagement in Your Job?
Before the workshop, each participant completes the online Employee ENGAGEMENT MAGIC® self-assessment. This tool consists of 35 items that measures the overall level of engagement and satisfaction an individual experiences in his or her job, plus the five MAGIC keys that drive engagement. The self-assessment provides a new level of insight into what really matters to an employee and causes them to be engaged. The results are used during the workshop to help individuals create their own employee engagement action plan.
The Learning Experience
This one-day interactive workshop is designed to increase engagement by helping participants understand where they find their passion, meaning, and drive and apply it to their jobs. The results from their Employee ENGAGEMENT MAGIC® self-assessment are provided during the session and are used to help create a personal engagement action plan. Learning activities, games, and videos help participants internalize each concept while allowing time to discuss and debate ideas in small groups. Finally, managers are provided practical ideas and activities to use with their own employees to boost engagement including how to conduct a one-on-one engagement interview with their employees.
