What are the Benefits of Organising a Webinar or Virtual Event?

Organising webinars and virtual events is a powerful way to boost employee engagement, especially in remote or hybrid work environments. These events foster communication, connection and a sense of belonging - key drivers of engagement. Considering disengaged employees cost US companies up to $550 billion annually and low-engagement teams see turnover rates 18% to 43% higher, investing in virtual engagement is both strategic and cost-effective. Webinars offer learning, recognition and collaboration opportunities, keeping employees motivated and aligned with company goals. By creating space for interaction and development, virtual events can transform company culture and significantly reduce costly disengagement and turnover.
