HOW TO TURN GOOD RELATIONSHIPS
INTO GREAT ENGAGEMENT SURVEY RESULTS

Location: Boca IV LEADERSHIP

Presented by: Alfe Betker, Academic Chair, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, Calgary, AB, Matt Carpenter,
Academic Chair, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, Calgary,

Employee engagement is measured through surveys, but it is driven by relationships. Relationships infuence
engagement surveys more than any other single item, but it is those relationships, not the survey results, which
infuence the learning environment for students.

This presentation argues that relationships have two components: the “personal view” and “team application”. The
presenters will delve into the team component. Focus will be placed on professional relationships amongst faculty
as well as between faculty and administration. During the interactive session, participants will implement proven
coaching models by focusing on defning, building, maintaining and understanding the value of relationships.

• Defning and understanding the value of relationships within teams
• Transforming a management perspective towards promoting a relationship focused environment
• Creating a healthy, collaborative culture that nurtures people’s intrinsic motivators while also aligning with the
external strategic priorities
• Creating a win-win, and genuine interest, buy-in for the team towards institutional priorities
• Capturing the “home person” (natural state) vs. the “work person” (adapted state)
