Simply put: Ramon Janssen is a master trainer and a great teacher. I enjoy every segment of the module learning. His teaching is simple, straight forward and seamless. Well done and keep up the excellent job!
By Karthik Sreenivasan on 12/5/2022
I feel like this course has helped me understand the tools and techniques that are essential for being a successful manager. Furthermore, I believe I have begun to contemplate on the ideal approach from both the employee's and the manager's perspective in what it will take to bring good employee engagement to create a healthy work environment. Thank you very much.

A little too dry for my taste. You basically look at the instructor or at slides with a couple of bullets and stock photos/videos. It lacked examples or case studys to drive the different points though. I must recognize that the insight exercises are adequate.
By Anonymized User on 2/20/2022
the shared discussion was very helpful in day to day encounter with colleagues/co-worker in the office, also help us realize the importance of being engaged with the employees specifically in terms of rewards and recognition.
By Melissa Tempio on 1/21/2022
Practical skills are the best part of this course. They are effective and easy to apply on the job. The concepts explained in the sections before the practical skills, while accurate, are explained from a business perspective and I feel are lacking the most critical aspect of employee engagement - putting the employee at the center of what you do.
By Anonymized User on 12/8/2020
This was a great match! I enjoyed the educator's approach and style and found the tactics with coordinated resource exercises extremely helpful. My only complaint is a technical one, that some of the videos cut off early. It happened repeatedly and made me feel like I was missing content. But otherwise this was excellent and I highly recommend it!

GOOD
By SUSANNE BASSMANN on 11/15/2020
It's OK, although I think this could all be condensed into a shorter course. Most of this is common sense and empathy.
By KERI MULLINS on 10/19/2020
While I just stepped out of a role with direct reports, I feel at my level in the company driving EE engagement is still my responsibility so this course will give me the tools/reminders I need.

I like learning new ways to engage people and empower them to enjoy who they are and what they do.

Enjoying the conversation around Employee satisfaction, motivation and engagement
By HARINDER KANG on 10/12/2020
It's a great match. As I'm looking to transition into managing people and/or processes, I want to better understand and get practice on building engagement with my team and others.
