Opportunity for In-Person Networking & Mind Sharing
To: Individuals interested and passionate about Employee Engagement, and local to downtown Chicago, IL area
I sincerely appreciate the information and dialogue found on David Zinger's EE Site! I've spoken with some of the individuals and we have a strong interest in coming together in-person to network, share expertise, and create topic-focused interactive exchanges.
Towards that goal, listed below are details for bringing us together:
Date: Friday, September 25, 10am/CT to Noon/CT
Location: Downtown Chicago Loop location TBD (based upon # responses)
Potential Topic: Given the far-reaching changes across the economy and it's cascading impact to business and people -> Impacts/Opportunities in the EE arena
Cost: None
To obtain an estimate for the number of people, please forward the following by Friday, September 4:
1) Generally, are you interested in connecting in-person? What are some of the desires you would like to achieve from the in-person connection? What value can it bring for you? What ideas/topics are of interest?
2) Can you be there on September 25th at 10am/CT?
I hope you feel as excited as myself for this opportunity! Feel free to pass this along to anyone that would find this valuable.

Great to hear from you. FYI, I was born and raised in Chicago, graduated from South Shore, earned a BA from Beloit, then an MA from Yale in comparative literature. And then additional graduate study (summers) at Chicago and Northweestern. Regrettably, I seldom have the chance to return to my beloved hometown.
We seem to share several common interests so I am especially excited about exchanging e-mails with you in weeks and months to come, to the extent our respectuve schedules (and energies!) allow. Frankly, I could spend 4-6 hours a day on contributions to the EE Network. Hopefully, you will check out the two groups I launched and, when you have time and are so inclined, offer some contributions.

Charee,
I am glad you joined but I would also appreciate learning more about you. How the network may assist you and what you have to offer to the network. I hope you can put a picture up or an image that represents engagement for you.

The most important priority for leaders is to cultivate, appreciate, and leverage the vast untapped potential of every employee in their organizations.
If you focus on engagement, productivity will follow. If you focus on productivity, you may not get it.
To begin engagement, sit down with each employee for 40-60 minutes, privately, quietly, and confidentially, and get to know them better -- thei…
I'd appreciate hearing from others on best practices regarding the frequency of employee engagement surveys. I've seen lots of debates on what is the best interval to use for regular measurement and it wouuld help if you could share how often you do…
