A committed and engaged workforce is the holy grail of any healthy institution, organization, or government Agency – but employee engagement is as much an art as any science behind it. The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) employs over 7,000 “front-line field employees”, many of whom are unwired employees, without access to a government issued email address or computer. In 2016, FSIS launched a new employee engagement initiative, titled “i-Impact;” this was delivered to the majority of FSIS employees as a one hour, in person workshop.
Learn the structure and successes of the 2016 i-Impact initiative, and hear how employee engagement was utilized to create FSIS’ 2017 i-Impact workshop, including:
