8:35 am - 8:55 am Creating A Winning Service Culture
You need more than the right tools and processes in order for your company to have long-term success as a service organization.

Learn how Schneider Electric, one of the largest service organizations in the world, has created a culture of service excellence that you can bring to your company too.
8:55 am - 9:15 am The Power Of Validation And It's Impact On Employee Engagement
Ryan’s field service and support team has improved their overall engagement score year over year to a company leading 70% actively engaged or engaged in 2016.
As companies across industries look to gain a competitive advantage outside of products and services, many are now looking to the well being of their employees in order to retain their most valuable and high-performing resources, while at the same time attracting top-tier talent from the outside. This is a difficult journey given employee engagement is a moving target as "wants" and "needs" seem to change with each passing generation. We know employees have an emotional need for their work to be noticed and appreciated, but often times as managers, and organizations, we fall short of these needs even when we have the best of intentions. During this presentation Ryan will walk through Fresenius Kabi’s journey to improve employee engagement and how they use validation, recognition, and attention to the little things in order to help our employees feel safe and engaged so that they channel energy into their work
