Welcome to the employee engagement network. I had such a delightful time Chairing the Employee Engagement Conference in Barcelona in April. I loved the people and the city, and of course I love the topic.
Thank you for joining us and deciding to spend some of your online time with us. I trust you will find useful information and valuable interactions.
I see your reference to Viktor Frankl. I started off teaching Counselling Psychology at University of Manitoba and found Frankl's life experiences powerful and helpful
All the best here and let me know how I can assist you.

Understand the needs of your employees and make room to accommodate when you can, and be honest about why you can't.
Communicate; honestly, plainly and often.
Create opportunities for autonomy, Give your employees the "what" and let them come up with the "how".
Make time to discuss Expectations: Both, what you expect of your employees and what your employees expect of you.
