Andy's Corporate Keynote Programs
Embracing the NEW Workforce Revolution: Recruit, Retain, and Develop
We are experiencing a workforce REVOLUTION as we emerge from the pandemic, staffing crisis, and Great Resignation. Millions of enlightened employees have spoken. They want CHANGE. And, they will only work for organizations who provide such change. Employees want family-friendly flex time. Employees want WFH/remote work options. Employees want new perks & benefits. And, they want this all in a positive work environment where they can enjoy their jobs and be developed for the future, not be overworked and under-appreciated.
Today’s leaders must use vision to be the “Champion of the Cause” in their organizations to initiate such change. REAL change. Organizations will either re-enact the “old way” of doing business and be left behind, or jump on the revolution train now. Change, and recruit the most talented candidates–who will stay. Delay change, and suffer a turnover of talented employees, while leaving a stagnant, uninspired workforce with little innovation or drive to succeed. Enjoy this this critical and timely program for all levels of leadership based on the 5th book “Things LEADERS Say: A Daily Guide to Help Every Leader Empower & Inspire“, from award-winning author and international speaker Andy Masters.
Re-Imagining Your Positive Workforce Culture for the NEW Work Environment
As the world emerges from the pandemic, organizations must now overcome the Great Resignation, staffing shortages, WFH/Remote work arrangements, high turnover, and low morale–while still in the midst of a succession planning crisis. Further, never before have managers and employees been asked to wear so many hats, and do more with less. Therefore, the time to create a positive work environment and make the workplace FUN again has never been more important. People are tired of being stressed. People want to be happy, LAUGH, and enjoy their jobs again. Employees also want to work within a positive workplace culture, which includes everything from fun, to creative perks & benefits, to family-friendly flex time and remote work options.
The incredible impacts of a positive work environment include improved recruiting, less stress, higher morale, lower turnover, greater teamwork, creativity, and even increased service levels–accomplished with LITTLE or NO costs! Join international Author/Speaker Andy Masters in this timely and entertaining program which illustrates inexpensive ways to create a positive working environment, while sharing success stories of how other organizations have RE-ENERGIZED their culture in our new global work environment.

“Andy spoke at the first employee meeting we have ever had with all shifts attending simultaneously in the 35 year history of our plant and he made it UNFORGETTABLE. He took the “Everyone Leads” theme we had previously decided on and melded his “Things Leaders Say” presentation into the day seamlessly. Our workforce and executive leadership were highly impressed with his lessons on leadership and humor. Our people are still talking about his “ice cream making story” (go ahead, ask him about it).”
