Close the engagement gap before it hits your bottom line

VIRTUAL EVENT

Insights from the 2026 Reward Gateway Workplace Engagement Index reveals a growing engagement perception gap; the disconnect between what leaders believe and what employees experience.

The gap is where risk lives in:

• Underperformance that "comes out of nowhere"
• Burnout that leaders spot too late
• Regrettable attrition that could have been prevented.
  
  

So, how do leading organisations support their leaders in building their teams more effectively by leveraging scalable technology, repeatable frameworks, and impactful conversations to engage their teams?

But insight alone doesn't change behaviour. Equipping leaders to act in the moments that matter will help them create scalable, repeatable processes to drive team motivation and performance through frequent, meaningful recognition and impactful career-shaping conversations.

This interactive session covers: 

• Building consistent leadership behaviours across teams
• Making recognition meaningful and tied to real performance
• Support managers with "what to say" not just "what to measure"
• Turn engagement insights into daily leadership habits.

Attendees will walk away with a practical playbook to run recognition as a performance lever including cadence, tools, and metrics you can deploy now.

Who should join: 

HR and People leaders driving engagement strategy, business leaders responsible for performance and retention or managers who want to lead more effectively.
