Driving engagement through engaging managers

Regardless of the best intentions of any leadership team most organisations succeed or fail in engaging their people largely due to the approach individual managers take with their teams.

Most managers get engagement at an intellectual level. However many rarely spend time reflecting on their own behaviours and what it is they do that engages or disengages the people they interact with at work.

Ixia’s engaging managers™ programme focuses on the specific behaviours

known to impact 80% of an individual’s sense of engagement at work and as a result will impact your organisation’s performance positively.

The programme will:

• Create space for managers to develop greater understanding of themselves and their own levels of engagement

• Involve experiential exercises designed to be engaging, complex and challenging which stimulate managers intellectually and reflect the challenges they face at work

• Demonstrate engagement at an emotional level by creating the opportunity to experience, reflect on and review their behaviours and the impact they have on others

• Support individuals in applying their insights & learning to their role, ensuring they start engaging those around them immediately

Our engaging managers™ programme builds self-awareness, creates the desire

and develops the capability to impact engagement, and is appropriate for anyone in a line manager role who wants to become a more engaging manager!
