Baltimore-Washington SIG        

Topic: Be the One to Boost Your Organization’s Bottom Line

In this program, our facilitator will reconnect participants with one of OD’s flagship services:  Organizational WorkClimate.  For over 40 years, we’ve known creating and sustaining a healthy WorkClimate is not about measurement, it’s about the facilitation.  After a compelling overview of the original roots of Work Climate research at Harvard University, we’ll exchange ideas about how to leverage a workplace environment to create a WorkClimate that drives and directs high achievement behaviors. When achievement motivation is unleashed, financial and bottomline impact can be as high as 30%.  When WorkClimate is vital and healthy, employee engagement and performance sky-rocket.  However, when WorkClimate turns toxic, high achievers leave.  Join us for a stimulating discussion.
