Creating Unmistakable Culture to Win the War for TALENT
Please join the West Coast Chamber and Lakeshore Human Resource Management Association as we welcome guest speaker, Mike Novakoski, who will share the story of how he and his partners transformed E&V from a commodity commercial construction company to an oddity in its markets. He will share specific strategies, inspirational stories and lessons learned along the journey to Become Unmistakable. Participants will hear how E&V applied the Unmistakable approach to develop a "virtual employee waiting room", how they achieved local, regional and national recognition, how they became contractor of the year, and how they amassed an unbelievable 12+ year spotless safety record. Learn how to apply the right-brain approach to become employee-centric and create meaningful connections to those in and outside of your business.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the impact that leading with meaningful connection can have on the performance of your businesses.
- Apply tangible tools developed and tested in real businesses to create connection, trust and an award-winning culture.
- Take the learnings and inspiration back to your own organization to apply for immediate results.
