EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Award-Winning CEO. Top Workplace Awards.

Book the employee engagement keynote speaker with a proven track record: 5 Top Workplace Awards

If you’re looking for an employee engagement keynote speaker who preaches platitudes about pizza parties and ping pong tables, Krister Ungerböck is not your guy.

While CEO of a global tech company, Krister grew his software company 3,000%, from a handful of people to hundreds of employees in 8 countries, on 5 continents. Thanks to chart-topping employee engagement levels of 99.3%, his company won 5 consecutive Top Workplace Awards.

Now, as a sought-after employee engagement keynote speaker, Krister shares the “secret” to his success as an award-winning CEO: Improve interactions between peers and leaders within a company, and you will improve employee engagement.

In his keynotes, Krister introduces his proven leadership approach – The Language of Leadership – which drives connection, growth, and commitment. Audiences learn a leadership language that works equally well at work and at home.

Krister’s keynotes teach audience members to be better peers and better bosses, while inspiring employees at all levels to take responsibility for their own engagement level. He explains how to leaders and HR professionals can hold people accountable for stopping the behaviors that destroy engagement.

When speaking to audiences that are primarily leaders, Krister focuses on the #1 key to increase employee engagement: Build better bosses. He teaches a set of practical leadership and emotional intelligence tools that every leader can immediately implement to increase employee engagement within their teams. Why? Because managers account for 70% of the variance in employee engagement, according to the Harvard Business Review.

If you are a meeting planner or HR professional seeking a results-oriented human resources keynote speaker, you know that employee engagement is a critical factor for your organization’s success. In fact, researchers note that “successful organizations require employees who have high levels of energy and high levels of involvement in work” (Bakker, Albrecht, and Leiter). Unfortunately, around the world, employee engagement has retracted. Now, only 24% - less than a quarter of all employees fall into the Highly Engaged category, according to AON Hewitt.

Address the growing issue of employee engagement at your next event by booking Krister Ungerböck, a global leadership expert who won 5 consecutive Top Workplace Awards.
