Are you responsible for engagement in your organization? Is it in your job title? Let's form a group where we can share best practices and ask questions as the practitioners of 'corporate' engagement!
Be awake and aware of your employees wants and needs and then do something postive about them.
If you haven't already you should research the Gallup work as well as Towers Perrin and Hewitt. These are pretty comprehensive. Really are insightful. Carol

- Carol,
Welcome to the employee engagement network. I love the fusion of communication, recognition, involvement, and education into your EE program. The more that we connect employee engagement with other variables the more powerful it can be, as long as we don't try to do too much. I think we must recognize (see) employees before we can engage them and then we must see how they are engaged. One key for me is to engage employees in the building of the plan. We don't get engaged usually in things we did not have a hand in building. Take care, stay engaged, and let me know if I can be of assistance.

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.

As a survey consultant I guess that I should like the idea of conducting monthly surveys, but I am concerned that employees may feel that they are being "over surveyed."
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.
