CAVE Connection

Passage to the Future of Employee Engagement and Generation Y

Employee engagement is no longer a buzz word - it's a revolution.

In a time where organizations are getting over “challenging times”, people are having a more positive outlook on their future. As economists are predicting growth in various areas and geographies, businesses are starting to pick up again. Many organizations are entering a growth phase while still maintaining a thorough focus on cost control. The climate has now changed yet again, which surely creates a new playing field.

Organizations are experiencing a global shift in workforce dynamics that is severely affecting their bottom line. With these new set of dynamics comes a new mindset that needs to strategically engage people to continually thrive in this economy.

Great leaders connect with their employees at a higher level.

For that level of connection to come through, there needs to be a journey – a passage that leads to greater personal engagement and organizational results. We need a natural space where people can succeed, with no outside interference, which leads to a new destination. A metaphorical CAVE, where people are challenged to achieve, aligned to organizational goals, valued as family, and empowered to make things happen. That’s the path to connection, that’s the CAVE Connection!

In this book, Gus outlines how the CAVE Connection creates a powerful bond where the employer creates the passage for the employee to emotionally connect to what they do, how they do it and why they do it. This path becomes filled with energy, excitement and enthusiasm, where the employee becomes part of the work and the work becomes part of the employee.
