Presented by THE DISNEY INSTITUTE

Every business has a culture. Communicating and nurturing the culture of your organization is vital to the successful management of your employees. From recruiting to career management, employees want to know how you are going to support them in meeting those expectations.

The Walt Disney World® Resort is recognized as a leader in people management and an employer of choice. As the nation’s largest single site employer, we manage a workforce of over 50,000, yet employee retention, a huge issue in the realm of people management, is one of our Disney success stories.

At the Disney Institute, we will encourage you to explore how we select, train, communicate with and recognize our workforce. You will discover the value of creating and maintaining a culture that supports retention, productivity and organizational goals.

This is your chance to see how we manage our most important asset, the people at the Walt Disney World® Resort. Let the Disney Institute welcome you inside our living laboratory and you will take away proven concepts to adapt to your organization.
