On May 21st, 2014, members of the HR BioTech Connect group gathered to hear a presentation on a very important topic — how to improve employee engagement. The presentation was delivered by Allan Benowitz of The Employee Engagement Group.
Presentation Description:
During his 90-minute presentation, Allen presented a variety of strategies and case studies that demonstrate how HR professionals in the BioTech and Life Sciences industries can deal with changing cultures, generations with different expectations, and other factors.
One highlight of the presentation was the playing of the “Who’s Sinking Your Boat” video. Please take a moment to watch it below:
