Valtera and the TRACOM Group Develop Gaming Industry’s First Employee Engagement Program

Rolling Meadows, IL (HRMarketer/PRWeb) January 14, 2009 – Valtera, a leading provider of human capital consulting solutions, and the TRACOM Group, a leader in workplace performance and improving interpersonal skills, have partnered to offer the first employee engagement program designed specifically to focus on the unique needs of the tribal and corporate casino gaming industry.

The Gaming Industry Engagement Program is built on a turn-key employee survey that measures key aspects of employee engagement, including ethics & integrity, supervision, teamwork and commitment to organizational success. Participating companies receive a detailed report of their results and have the ability to compare their data with those of a variety of high-performing organizations.

“Gaming organizations of all sizes looking to create great guest experiences and drive even greater business performance will benefit from the new Gaming Industry Engagement Program, a complete survey administration and reporting solution,” said Michael Butler Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at Valtera. “This program is designed to give leaders at tribal and corporate casino properties the tools to manage more effectively, and improve the return on the organization’s most valuable asset- its employees.”

The survey includes a standard set of survey topics and questions. Optional topics especially relevant to the gaming industry include service climate, diversity/inclusion and Climate for Responsible Gaming. Built from decades of expert research, the Valtera survey methodology is recognized as one of the industry’s most accurate measures of engagement among employees. Valtera’s and TRACOM’s consultants can also analyze survey findings and provide solutions to improve employee engagement at the surveyed organizations. TRACOM founded and leads the G2E Leadership Academy held annually during the industry’s Global Gaming Expo.

Other key features of the engagement program include:

• Premier Content: Measure engagement meaningfully, using proprietary content with demonstrated business impact.
• Normative Data: Participating companies can make comparisons to other “best to work for” firms for targeted, specific and relevant benchmark results.
• Flexibility: Select from a range of options to configure a solution that fits organizational requirements.
• Affordability: Realize the best value from using a proven survey and a standard process.
