"Engagement" isn't delivered to you by the company or your leaders, it's created within you every day when you walk through the door and ask yourself, "How engaged am I willing to be today?"
Stephen, in addition to all the responses you've received on this, I'll add one more. We work with Gallup on our engagement program, and one thing I've noticed about them is their sensitivity to copyright and other intellectual property issues. They…

- Brent,
Welcome to the network. I appreciate how you joined right into one of the discussions. It is one thing to join a network it is another to dive right in. This models engagement from my view and probably makes you very good at nationwide.

Dear Ray,
Your concern is well founded. Employees look forward to surveys like they do a visit to the dentist! The Horsepower Survey, however, is an employee-focused survey to measure how rewarded employees feel about their work. It consists of sev…

Thanks for sharing this information, Roy.
When I was Research Director at The Loyalty Institute, we found that the #1 driver of employee commitment was an organization's efforts to build a sense of spirit and pride. This was true in the US as well…

There are options, of course. An organization might randomly assign each emplo…
This is a great read, a great story. I smiled the whole time as I read this. If this conversation is possible in your organization, then I'd say your leadership is trusted and transparent. Thanks for this story.
I won't be wishing you "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" this December. These secular, generic salutations are popular in corporate America because they are not specific to any one religion or belief system. The business world, like America's…
Hello Paul:
"if you want to improve productivity and reduce costs, you need to
tap into human nature’s pleasure-fueled engine."
I could not agree more but if we wait until after we hire someone we have waited too long.
