Diversity Dialogue with Career Systems International CEO Beverly Kaye:
Finding The Elegant Solution to Employee Engagement
The key to keeping great employees is rooted in elegant simplicity, says Beverly Kaye, founder and co-CEO of Career Systems International, a Scranton, Penn.-based consultancy that focuses on talent development, employee engagement and retention. For the past 35 years, Kaye has used simple yet effective tactics to help companies from McDonald’s to Microsoft hold on to their best workers. Her three-prong approach, designed to educate organizations, line managers and employees, has gained her recognition across the globe.
Kaye will be sharing her expertise during a keynote presentation at this month’s Best Practice Session hosted by Visa in Miami. Diversity Best Practices’ Editor-in-Chief Angela Johnson Meadows spoke with Kaye about the diversity/employee engagement intersection, why retention is still a struggle for companies and the questions managers need to ask to ensure great workers stay.
