Imi Podcast Talking Business

An actively engaged worker will be 17% more productive than their disengaged counterpart - the equivalent of an extra working day every week - but 87% of Irish employees are not engaged at work. In this week's episode, we talk to Bruce Young, Senior Workplace Consultant at Gallup and IMI Talent Forum speaker, about the incredible data Gallup have collected on the subject, how they recommend tackling the problem, and what effects it can have on performance for those organisations that get it right.

Why do certain leaders have the ability to really engage, inspire and move people to act? We talk to Paula Mullin, IMI Connect Lounge Speaker and Executive Coach, about Executive Presence and what it can teach leaders in how they should package themselves in order to drive their business, and teams, to success.

Rasmus Hougaard, Founder of the Potential Project, was the keynote speaker at the IMI Membership Launch Day. Talking about how mindfulness techniques can create a better leader and deliver greater productivity across the board, Rasmus is one of the world's leading minds behind the 'soft' skills a leader needs to succeed.
