What is an AAA MAPCast?
An AAA MAPCast is a live, interactive 60-minute conference presented over the telephone and over the Internet. You can attend from any location that has telephone and Internet access. You pay just one registration fee for as many participants as you wish at each call/log-in location.

Note that high-speed Internet access is not mandatory – the system works with dial-up but you must have separate connections for the audio and video portions. You may use cell phones for the audio if you have only one connection.


Who presents at an AAA MAPCast?

Your MAPCast will have one or more speakers who are recognized experts on the topic. Conferences typically include a Q&A session; you can ask questions by phone or instant messaging options.

Course Description
Few companies can really claim they have engaged employees on board. Individuals are hired in hopes that they will be more than just a "corpse" that will drag itself to work each day! As time moves on, however, most companies are often left with people who check their "brains" or creativity or "discretionary effort" at the door.

When employees are "engaged", companies and firms realize a huge payoff, in terms of lower turnover, better safety ratings and in general more productivity. Learn how to incorporate these tried and true vital components into your everyday workplace.

The session will discuss how to learn to energize the workforce by focusing on four key constituencies: 1) Your Direct Reports as Individuals, 2) Your Direct Reports as a Team, 3) Your Extended Organization Below and 4) Yourself
