Everyday, with the employees all around you, verbally or in writing, notice something positive they did or some attribute they have--and include yourself in this circle of positive notice!

[Robert Morris]

Employee engagement begins -- and frequently ends -- with the hiring process.

[Trevor Nagle]

Focus on building a foundation of trust within all levels of your organization.

[Roy Saunderson]

Before I proposed, my wife and I said a lot of nice things to one another and showed each other through actions, gestures and even little gifts that we loved one another. THEN we got engaged!!!

So my recommendation to companies would be " Say nice things to one another and show that you care about people" - engagement will follow!!!

Great idea, David.
