SAUSALITO, Calif., April 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Waggl, the leading platform for real-time feedback powered by Employee Voice, today announced that registration has opened for its annual Waggl Harvest Conference, to be held in Napa Valley at the Charles Krug Winery, September 17-19, 2019.
"Waggl Harvest presents an opportunity for visionary business leaders and strategic HR leaders to talk about how Employee Voice can be used to increase engagement and drive organizational performance," said Michael Papay, Co-founder and CEO, Waggl. "This is an opportunity to hear how some of the most progressive and resilient organizations have achieved business objectives by listening to their employees. We call our event Harvest because it's dedicated to harvesting the collective wisdom of the people who understand the dynamics of the business best."
Here are five great reasons to attend Harvest:
1. We need to make the workplace more human. In a data-intensive reality where everything seems to be changing faster every day, connection to one another and to our organizations is more vital than ever before.
2. Measurement does not drive engagement. Today's business leaders are often grappling with data overload, but still lack the types of insights they require in order to make the right decisions in real-time.
3. Real-time feedback is the key to activating employee voice and improving engagement. Competitive business advantage today lies in the ability to find the right signals in a busy universe and apply these insights quickly.
4. Activating Employee Voice is the key to driving greater performance. Employee Voice is the DNA of your organization, and needs to be activated in order to unlock the power of collective intelligence.
5. When people are the focus, engagement and high performance will follow. People don't wake up wanting to be measured – they wake up wanting to be part of something that matters, and want to contribute their unique insights.
For Waggl Harvest 2019, Waggl has assembled a world-class line-up of experienced, inspiring speakers who have successfully increased engagement, enhanced culture, aligned teams around goals, implemented change initiatives, activated talent and more. The first speaker to be announced is keynote Global Industry Analyst and founder of Bersin by Deloitte, Josh Bersin, who studies all aspects of HR, business leadership, corporate L&D, recruiting, and HR Technology.
"You cannot maintain positive employee experience without listening to your people on a continuous basis," said Josh Bersin. "That's why successful organizations are beginning to move away from annual surveys and instead collecting feedback from employees more frequently to better understand the trends, issues and variables impacting employee engagement in real time."
Waggl Harvest will be held at Charles Krug, an iconic Napa Valley winery, that is truly inspirational. Founded in 1861, Charles Krug was named to the National Register of Historic Places on November 8, 1974. The event will take place during the height of the crush season, the perfect time of year to visit wine country.

- Steve Cadigan, Co-founder of Cadigan Talent Ventures and ISDI Digital University; former VP Talent, LinkedIn.
