How to use storytelling to increase employee engagement

Great storytelling connects people to their work.

And?don't just take it from me .

Storytelling does not have to stop at your marketing department's door.

Instead, it can be an invaluable tool for driving engagement - especially?in our hybrid/remote work new normal.

Storytelling builds trust and engenders strong emotional connections. It helps your teams better understand where they fit inside your organization's vision and mission.

Stories help employees see your organization in a different light, and find a deeper sense of purpose in their work. They can improve internal communications, help shape your company culture, and help you find new ways to frame what you do - and why you do it.

Want to know how you can?uncover the critical authentic storytelling techniques and tools needed to inspire your employees to become more involved and engaged at work?

My talk/workshop, "Impactful Storytelling For Employee Engagement" is perfect for leaders who:

• Need to get employees on board with change in order to meet business objectives
• Want to inspire those they lead to become more involved and engaged at work
• Need talent retention programs to inspire and grow recruitment activities

Attendees will leave with the?critical storytelling techniques and tools they need to motivate, engage, and inspire, as well as new strategies to use internal communications and social platforms to bring teams together.

This Week on The Podcast

Running out of good ideas is probably one of the most frustrating things for an innovator. After all, our job is all about bringing new and exciting things to the table. So how do we get out of a creative block and generate new ideas for innovation?

For Greg Ratcliff, Chief Innovation Officer at Vertiv, the key lies in diversity. When we collaborate with people from different backgrounds and expertise, that’s when innovation happens.

In?this episode of Innovation Storytellers , Greg talks about how mergers and acquisitions help companies innovate and how to manage the communication and cultural differences between companies who are in these types of relationships.

He also talks about how they scout for innovative ideas at Vertiv and how companies can cultivate a resilience to failure.
