Absolutely bang on Ben, you have it in a nutshell.
Jason, There is a silver bullet but it is not one that you can fire at the workforce to engage them.

I think motivation is a key factor before guarantee employee engagement, but this is something that needs to be on constant evolution because it desapears much more quicker as it is created.
What do you think about?
Kind regards,

Cesar,
This is all worth thinking about.

I love the quote from Franlk which is:
"Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for..."

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.

Create and support one language for your employees by clearly communicating the mission, values, and team agreements of your organization.
Say hello and ask them how their day is going.
Men get engaged when you acknowledge what they do, and women become engaged when you acknowledge who they are.

I appreciated the statement: "an invisible grandfather clause." Staying power and growth not just sticking around because of the pension. Well said.

Finding a candidate with some staying power is such an awesome thing. There are a lot of candidates out there who are willing to stick with a good employer, and there are others who are just looking to build their resume.
Though you may find candid…
