I'd say a big thumbs-up to sharepoint for getting your business processes online, cutting down on email, paperwork, form-filling, etc, and for doing some broadcast communication ... but make sure you've got 50% of your budget left over for pluggin...
It's a useful way to look at the issue from the other end of the telescope - hopefully will help us get the engagement debate out of the old carrot/stick mindset, which I try to remind my colleagues is truly only appropriate for Donkey work. But l...
Linked-In is the de-facto workplace network for me, despite us all being on a new intranet platform, based on Sharepoint.
Don't be misled about sharepoint. There are many bolt-on features which attempt to bring social networking capability into i...
We've been using Peak Learning's "Real Deal" cards to ask our employees to register the five things that matter most to them at work, plus a "deal breaker".
On seeing what emerges, I think I'd argue there's a slightly wider range to engagement th...
At this point, I'd have to invest in reading your thesis in full to do the argument justice - evolutionary logic and all. I'm going to have to ponder whether I've got spare capacity for that ... if you'll bear with me?
But on what satisfies me mo...
Paul, your "hyper-rational" characterisation looks to me like a nasty case of false dichotomy - I wish you a speedy recovery.
My point about being wary of reduction beyond the Subject is simply this: some entities must be treated in science as ir...
OK, just for one more round, I'm going to continue to play devil's advocate on this. Labels aside, many of the assumptions behind this line of enquiry look highly biological?
I don't believe that's a proper domain for us - which of these question...
I want to get comms & engagement measurement away from 'opinion metrics' and into 'behaviour metrics', where they might become sufficiently robust to attract the interest of non-Comms/HR people, eg line managers, C-suite, perhaps even Board. That'...
I'm impressed by the way this survey collection technique handles "Net" experience, but I'm tempted to say that the label is unfortunate ... in that it still smacks of treating employees as livestock, who we'll poke with a thermometer once a month...
This group is intended for anyone who wants to help Managers do a better job promoting employee engagement. What skills does a Manager need? What tools can a Manager use?
Assuming Lois has her answer but that others here are either in the same boat, or about to be ... it's probably worth mentioning John Smythe's CEO: Chief Engagement Officer work, based on the research he conducted under McKinsey's wing, where he f...
It depends on the shape of the hole the organisation's looking to fill, truly. Sometimes you badly need a subject expert with a long list of professional creds and the insight to give leadership. Sometimes you need someone who has the political ap...
Oh, and Roger D'Aprix's The Credible Company: communicating with today's skeptical workforce just amazonned onto my desk. This one looks promising.

- Where are you located?
- London, UK (so far ...)

- Adam,
Welcome to the Manager Tools group. Why not start a discussion on what people think the holy grail might be?

I wonder of the sociometer and honest signals might be the tool of the future. A little too early now but I have written two posts about this and have another one for release on Tuesday at www.davidzinger.com. I wonder what other grails are out there. I appreciated your comments from Axel Honneth on recognition. We need more ways that surveys to measure things (at least I think I read that on a survey somewhere! :)
Stay engaged,
David

I'm in a firm that does engagement surveys. We have wrestled with the distinction between engagement and satisfaction and now have an approach that we believe isolates engagement and provides specific insights into actionable activities. My name i...
Leigh - I was very closely involved in a reshaping of an EE survey for over 100,000 staff. I hesitate to reply as my experiences stem from a large organisation and most of what I can offer is regrettably on the don'ts and tending towards the usele...
When employees come to talk to you, do not carry the "I am very busy" look.
Two ears, one mouth - listen more than you speak!
Thanks Ben, that is really useful. I have to admit to not having had chance to read this myself yet. I was just forwarded the link by a journalist friend who thought it might be of interest. It's good to get the opportunity to hear somebody else v...
I have not personally read the UK Government review of employee engagement titled "Engaging for Success".
But a very dear friend of mine, one of the very few people I know who fully understands engagement having done it himself, did review it and...
