Areas of Expertise
Leigh consults and speaks throughout the U.S. on the following topics:
Based on comprehensive new ground-breaking research, Leigh Branham will discuss the three factors that now have a profound impact on the ability of employers worldwide to create a highly engaged workplace. These factors-company size, generational diversity, and the economic downturn-are frustrating many employees as they attempt to maintain acceptable levels of employee engagement and organizational productivity.
The purpose of this presentation is to provide a deeper understanding of seven elusive reasons employees leave (which are very different from what they say in exit interviews), so that management and HR can partner in creating on-target corrective and preventive solutions to employee turnover.
Leigh’s objective is to define “employment branding,” convey why branding is imperative as organizations step up the competition for scarce talent, and present a three-phase process for building a compelling employment brand.
To make attendees more aware of the differences between the life experiences and resulting expectations of Veterans, Boomers, Xers, and Millennials so they can implement effective strategies to engage and retain all four generations.
To describe the seven key behavioral differences and leadership mindsets that separate leaders who inspire more discretionary workforce effort from those leaders whose behavior causes employees to disengage.
To review the 15 most common pitfalls that keep hiring managers from hiring the right person for the job.
To assist those with responsibility for employer-of-choice initiatives to select and track the right metrics for attracting, selecting, engaging, and retaining the talent they need to meet their business objectives.
