Norman Wolfe Shares How He Revived HP's Failing $1.2bn Operation With a New People Engagement Paradigm
For almost 30 years, pundits and practitioners have been looking for the 'elixir' to total employee engagement. Yet 30% of American workers remain disengaged, costing companies up to $550 million in losses. Former HP executive, Norman Wolfe discovered a robust solution that he will share at the Engagement & Retention 2015 San Francisco (10-11 December 2015).
San Francisco, September 30, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Hewlett Packard is known for it's wonderful relationship with iconic successful turnarounds. Delegates at Engagement and Retention 2015 will finally get to meet the fascinating man behind the success story.
Meet best-selling author, Norman Wolfe at Engagement & Retention 2015 conference on 10-11 December 2015, San Francisco. Mr. Wolfe will help business and HR leaders become turnaround heroes by sharing a fresh whole brain approach to employee engagement and running the business he developed.
"Employee engagement is the only way to bring a sustainable bottom line, yet even for the most engaged companies, only 38 per cent of American workers are engaged at work costing companies $450 billion to $550 billion per year in lost productivity which includes the price of absenteeism, workplace accidents and increased health care costs. We are grateful that Mr. Wolfe has developed this revolutionary approach to running the business," Mr. Mercado adds.

“What is clear to me is that our society needs this message. The problems and challenges we are faced with cannot be solved through the lens of the old paradigm. But once we shift our framework, what was once difficult or even impossible will become easy and simple to address,” says Mr. Wolfe.
First 10 who register will receive a complimentary conference copy of his best-selling book, The Living Organization.
Norman Wolfe was a 15-year veteran of Hewlett Packard where he was known as a turnaround agent in the systems engineering, service, administration and sales organizations.
On 10 December 2015, he will deliver a keynote, expounding the hard work behind the success story of bringing a failing operation back to life with employee enthusiasm.
On 11 December 2015, delegates will get quality time with Mr Wolfe who will use highly experiential learning around creating an experience of how engagement (and hence creativity and innovation) naturally flows when an organization is viewed as a living being and its members freely choose to become part of the living entity.
“Engagement eats strategy for breakfast,” says Frank Mercado, director at the Center for Business Strategy and Tactics, a think tank by Arc Media Global, co-organizing the Engagement and Retention 2015 conference.
“Employee engagement is the only way to bring a sustainable bottom line, yet even for the most engaged companies, only 38 per cent of American workers are engaged at work costing companies $450 billion to $550 billion per year in lost productivity which includes the price of absenteeism, workplace accidents and increased health care costs. We are grateful that Mr. Wolfe has developed this revolutionary approach to running the business,” Mr. Mercado adds.
“Norman Wolfe offers an inspiring reframing of how we understand business creates bottom-line result. I couldn't put (his insights) down,” says Casey Sheehan, CEO, Patagonia
As head of Administrative Operations for the Western Sales Region, Mr. Wolfe was highly acclaimed for taking a failing $1.2 billion operation and setting new standards of productivity and customer service.
Today, Mr. Wolfe is Chairman of the Governance & Nominating Committee of the Board for National Technical Systems, a NASDAQ traded company, and Chairman of the Board of Directors for Web Wise Kids, a non-profit agency educating youth on the safe and appropriate use of the Internet.
The Engagement and Retention 2015 vision is simple: Give corporate leaders an experiential, action-focused and inspirational platform to enable them to transform America’s employee engagement deficit to engagement surplus so it drives a sustainable bottom line.
