Differences between the employee engagement practices of an IT and a Manufaturing company
Do the factors such as employee background, cost, profitability, resources availability etc help in the difference?? I don't know where to get data on this topic. Could anyone pls guide me??

Aji,
I'm not sure how you would find data on this topic either (except to identify some companies in both categories and go there to conduct a survey), but I would bet that there would be both similarities and differences in employee engagement practices.
Similar practices I'd expect:
- Both might have a regularly scheduled EE survey to measure engagement
- Both might have reward and recognition programs
Different practices I'd expect:
- an IT firm might have more flexible work arrangements
- an IT firm might offer more "new age" perks such as concierge services

Terrence,
I was expecting the same as IT firms are knowledge based they are a more fertile ground for EE models. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me....do you know where I can find some data on EE practices of a manufacturing company??....I know conducting a survey would be the best option...but i cannot get any manf company to answer my questions, they r not co-operating...but i was lucky with IT Cos...
Cheers

I am also looking for information about the differences in engagement of science and technology workers compared to other working populations. If any one has suggestion where to find information that would be great.

Appreciate the question--but what if you consider that there is more than one type of "true" engagement, and that different types of engagement may involve more or less spiritual, intellectual or participatory involvement?
Create and support one language for your employees by clearly communicating the mission, values, and team agreements of your organization.
Say hello and ask them how their day is going.
Men get engaged when you acknowledge what they do, and women become engaged when you acknowledge who they are.

I appreciated the statement: "an invisible grandfather clause." Staying power and growth not just sticking around because of the pension. Well said.

Finding a candidate with some staying power is such an awesome thing. There are a lot of candidates out there who are willing to stick with a good employer, and there are others who are just looking to build their resume.
Though you may find candid…
