Wow, it's great to see the community of all employees - the janitors, kitchen people, nurses and management staff - all together for a common cause.
Hi everyone,
Last week I submitted a proposal for a manifesto on Respect & Recognition on changethis.com. Not sure how many votes I need in order to have it published on the site, but I guess the more the better.
So if you could spare a second to h…
Hi everyone,
I mentioned Nancy Kline's new book yesterday in another thread. It's her sequel to "Time to think" which I have not read yet myself (but started a copy of a friend last year and was fascinated).
I thought it would be a good idea to put…
Hi Mike,
I've just joined the group - great idea!
I believe the key to (create or increase) employee engagement is showing interest, listening, paying attention and recognizing each individual's needs, skills, culture, etc. and responding to them.…
Nice idea to start a Europe group! Let's see how many of us are here!

Hi Jonena,
I agree with you. And on top of relieving stress and not being alone, the person who has an "active listener" also gets to think better and therefore tends to find their own solutions. Active listening creates a thinking environment for…

- 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"
In an earlier scene:
- NICK rushing through the lobby and straight into Erin who nearly drops her armful of boxes.
- ERIN’s thoughts: Oh, god! He nearly killed me. Too bad he missed...
Recognition is one of our human needs http://www.… Continue

Derek Irvine said… - 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

Engagement is to be seen not as an activity but that is the only way the society works.
The management equivalent of ‘Air’ is to practice transparency with team members by managers.
Dr. Jose M F, India, Bangalore
The most important priority for leaders is to cultivate, appreciate, and leverage the vast untapped potential of every employee in their organizations.
If you focus on engagement, productivity will follow. If you focus on productivity, you may not get it.
To begin engagement, sit down with each employee for 40-60 minutes, privately, quietly, and confidentially, and get to know them better -- thei…
I'd appreciate hearing from others on best practices regarding the frequency of employee engagement surveys. I've seen lots of debates on what is the best interval to use for regular measurement and it wouuld help if you could share how often you do…
Be sure to understand what your employees are 'engaged' with; ie. their job, work group, direct manager, the leadership, the company...
