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.

though published earlier, I found it quite relevant relating innovation and engagement
Remember that employees are human first; seek to build what matters the most to humans - personal relationships.
Communicating "what" is not enough. Explain the "why" behind everything.
Thanks Ben. Look forward to checking out these articles.
