SUMMARY:Hybrid In Person / Webinar: The Five Appreciation Languages in the Workplace
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, September 3rd\, SDA San Diego will host Diana Dix\, Human Resources Risk Advisor for Cavignac\, for a wonderful presentation you don’t want to miss: \nThe Value of Appreciation in the Workplace – The Five Appreciation Languages in the Workplace \nIn a moment when almost 60% of employees feel unappreciated at work\, your ability to show authentic employee appreciation may be a determining factor in your ability to retain employees.

This is because you are speaking different languages. In this webinar we will explore the different languages of appreciation and how to apply them with those your work with to improve your relationship and communicate effectively. \nRegister here: http://hybrid-in-person-webinar-the-five-appreciation-languages-in-the-workplace \nOn-site attendees will have lunch provided. \nOur Presenter:\nDiana Dix\, Human Resources Risk Advisor for Cavignac | SPHR\, SHRBP\, HCS \n \nDiana Dix has a track record of over two decades in the field of human resources management.
