Somewhere along the way, I learned that there are only two foundational emotions that people react from --- fear and love. When we have dysfunctional people who contribute to a dysfunctional team, the real issue probably lies within a fear that they…

Oneka J Cornelius said… - Hi Angela,
Thanks for reaching out and sending me a quick note on my wall. Regarding employee engagement roles in the Atlanta area - I too am a manager within a management consulting firm aligned to Talent & Organization Performance. At this time, I am not familiar with a variety of organizations that are aligning themselves "specifically" to employee engagement as a practice. What I do find, however, is that organizations are looking at the full life cycle of Talent Management - with employee engagement as a subset of TM work.
It sounds like you already have the education to support going into this area - but I would recommend that you cast a wider net into Talent Management - and then look for ways to build employee engagement skills and points of view within each of the larger segments of TM (i.e., Rewards/Recognition, Performance Management, Learning, etc...)
I hope that helps!
Good Luck,
Oneka

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…
