The Upcoming Seminar on Enhancing Employee Engagement

As a response to the increasing demand in corporate environments, B-Connect, a subsidiary of Business Coach, is hosting its second online seminar on April 21, 2026. This seminar follows the success of the previous session held on March 19, which attracted over 100 participants. The focus will be on effectively utilizing evaluation interviews and 1-on-1 meetings to foster employee autonomy and motivation.

Context of the Seminar

In recent years, many companies have been reevaluating their human resource systems amidst significant changes in the business landscape. A central theme emerging from this shift is how to construct evaluation systems that genuinely promote employee autonomy and challenge-seeking behavior. Merely establishing these frameworks is not enough; frequently, superficial goal-setting and evaluation discussions can lead to misalignments in self-assessment, ultimately diminishing overall employee motivation.

The implementation of 1-on-1 meetings is rising; however, confusion often arises due to a lack of clarity between the objectives and roles of evaluation discussions versus 1-on-1 meetings. Nonetheless, understanding the original purpose of evaluation systems and how best to facilitate goal attainment can create synergy between evaluation interviews and 1-on-1 meetings—maximizing their effectiveness.

Seminar Overview

During this seminar, the essential topics will include:

• - Reasons driving the review of HR evaluation systems among numerous companies.
• - Challenges faced during the operational phase of HR evaluation systems.
• - Key skills necessary for effectively leveraging evaluation interviews and 1-on-1 meetings to their fullest potential.
• - An interactive Q&A session will follow the main presentation, encouraging participants to engage and clarify any doubts.
