Duration: 53 min
Is there a disconnect between managers and employees? It's not uncommon for individuals to form misconceptions about each other, but when this tensions festers between managers and their employees, it can lead to low morale, engagement, and productivity and eventually to turnover and team performance issues. To combat this, business leaders and HR professionals often turn to the Assimilation Meeting, a facilitated meeting in which managers and their team members have an open and honest dialog, discuss mutual expectations, and walk away with firm commitments to one another and a better understanding of each other's perspective and intentions.
