■ The Focus Now Should Be on "Improving Engagement"

Due to the declining working population and the acceleration of human capital management, the engine of corporate growth has completely shifted from "facilities" to "people." Employee engagement is no longer a welfare benefit but a "top-priority management strategy" for recruitment branding, investor relations, and preventing the outflow of intellectual property.

This seminar will unravel why B2B companies should invest in improving engagement now, its inevitability, and the direct route to business value. It will present guidelines for next-generation management decisions to build sustainable competitive advantage.

■ Recommended for:

・Corporate executives

・Corporate planning, corporate communication, PR/advertising/IR departments

・Human resources, talent development departments, etc.
