Recognize, Respond, Receive: recognize your employees needs, respond to them, receive their engagement in return.
Hi Bob,
could you elaborate a bit on the reason why employees are the most likely to change their behavior? Aren't supervisors and managers and most executives also "employees"? From your post I understand that there's sort of a ranking - with th...
Shouldn't the effort be spent on building an employee-focused workplace, aligning people to the right jobs, holding them accountable for performance and communicating openly and honestly with them - instead of trying to figure out who is might be ...
Hi Agnes,
in my opinion the managers make all the difference to the engagement or disengagement of employees. Meaning, we should focus on educating the managers on how to recognize their team's needs, challenges, personalities, motivational drive...
Has anyone heard of www.ilearningglobal.tv? I was at a Brian Tracy seminar yesterday, where he promoted it. He said that if a company signs up, they can use it for all their staff. It’s monthly subscriptions that range from $80-180 per month, whic...
Why is it that left brained types have to put numbers on everything. Next they will invent a formula for working out whether you are in love!
Profile Information
- Who are you?
- I am a People Development & Performance Coach. My passion is great people management and my business is helping companies educating their young (often newly promoted) managing staff by coaching & training them in the areas of i.e. respect, recognition, planning/organization, DISC personality profiles, motivation/engagement etc.
As part of my business I also produce supporting coaching tools, such as the People Management Coaching Cards below. (http://www.selfcoachingcards.eu)
I am also a virtual manager for self-employed people (solo-preneurs) to help them stay focused and organised and hold them accountable to their own business goals by "reporting to a manager" (www.virtualanja.com)

Recognition
Scene from "What Women Want"

- Hello, Anja! I just received your comment on my page of the EE Network. Many thanks for following our work on the employee recognition topic – how did we all live before without google!
Yes indeed I do have the pleasure of seeing many different cultures in the workplace. What strikes me is just how common “the human condition” is! The substance of our needs are very similar indeed, but what will vary is the style in which those needs are met. One need consistent everywhere in the world I’ve seen is for acknowledgement, appreciation and recognition for the work employees do.
Would certainly like to chat further – drop me a line at dereki@globoforce.com and let’s set up a call.
Best Regards,
Derek.

- Hi Anja: Thanks for your comment on my post. I agree, reducing fees is a great way to get clients' attention and to get work. Your comment made me realize that the way I wrote the post it seemed like I was asking for help for my business specifically, but I was asking for thoughts on how firms in our industry (including mine, of course) could address this economy with creative pricing, etc. I just edited the posting to reflect my intention. Thanks for helping me see that I needed to write it a little differently! Steve

- Anja. Online CRP pricing is one of the things RPI's Education Committee is going to be discussing at our Board meeting next week. I'll keep you posted. Our Education Director tells me that if you took CRP 1 online you could indeed complete the three remaining courses required for certification at the Naples conference! peter

- Hi Anja... I'm in sunny Florida visiting my Dad which is a lot better than cold and snowy Montreal! Next week I'm in Dallas for RPI's Board meeting. I have sent our Education Director an email asking about the cost and how many of these course you can take at one time. FYI... I did them over a couple of conferences. The conference is being held in Naples Florida from May 3 - 6. The courses are given pre and post conference. Naples is a great spot. We held the conference there a couple of years ago. I'll get back to you as soon as I hear back from our ED. Have a great weekend! peter

Can you share the theory of self coaching cards with me. Actually we have got the gallup survey done for our company and this field was really found wanting in our employees. May be your innovative idea can help us.
Thanx

The presentation went off really well. The demonstration of the network went really well too. So far 25% of the staff have signed up. Regrettably, there is virtually no activity on the network yet. I feel that there is a lot of hesitation in start...
Understand every member of your teams motivation, align their aspirations to a clearly communicated business direction, give them all the tools to do the job and then empower them to deliver.
Care for people around you and get to know who they are, what strengths they bring and what's important to them.
Every day do a quick maintenance check. Do people know Why?, How?, When? and What? they are doing and are they free to ask these questions of you?.
Check your own engagement regularly. You need support, recognition and inspiration as much as your employees, in order provide an environment that will engage your people fully.
Engagement is a relationship that requires regular maintenance.
Start from where they are at.
Reach out to their hearts and values. Look beyond the Employee ID number and make a genuine effort to see and hear the person.
Open yourself to influence by others and they will open themselves to your influence.
Don't just listen to your people but also act on what they're telling you.
Only hire people with passion for what they do; create a work environment that fosters and facilitates the expression of that passion and use a communication style that makes it safe to stretch, fail and grow.
Assist each employee to understand the deeper purpose of his or her work - who or what cause is it helping - and why.
Be congruent and transparent, say what you mean and do what you say.
Managers or Supervisors can engage employees by demonstrating little acts of kindness for absolutely no reason at all. eg. Can I help you carry that? Is there anything I can get for you? etc. etc.
Engagement should be treated as newborns! Everyone takes place in the growing process and they should never be left unattended.
For great managers, the path toward engaging employees and keeping them engaged begins with asking them what they want and what is important in order to be effective in their roles.
