Why Now?
Says Chester Elton, No. 1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Executive Advisor to
Global Leaders, High-Performance Culture, Thinkers50, Coaches50 and keynote speaker: “It takes a system. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent to engage people over the last two decades and yet engagement is at record lows. For many years, I’ve been honored to be part of a community dedicated to improving workplace culture through recognition, leadership, and gratitude. While I remain more passionate about this work, especially with my focus on gratitude, I’ve come to believe that engagement needs a more structured, systems-based approach to achieve the impact we all seek. That’s why I encourage you to explore the Enterprise Engagement Alliance Impact Academy. The program offers a practical framework for integrating the many elements of engagement into a cohesive, measurable system. In my experience, the leaders behind this initiative bring both deep expertise and a genuine commitment to advancing our profession based on the proven principles of total quality management applied to people.”
Engagement is very leader’s business. As a recent SHRM article underlines, even the best engagement strategies fail when managers lack the skills to translate organizational intent into daily employee experiences. The EEA Impact Academy was created to address exactly this challenge by providing a practical framework for aligning leadership, management, and stakeholder engagement around measurable business outcomes.
