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…
Mike,

Jason:
Good points about trust and aligning the strategic engagement with employee engagement. We need results for all.
I am concerned you will lose readers due to lack of formatting on this post. I encourage you to ensure that you format your pos…
Thanks for sharing this information, Roy.
When I was Research Director at The Loyalty Institute, we found that the #1 driver of employee commitment was an organization's efforts to build a sense of spirit and pride. This was true in the US as well…
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.

Having swapped comments on my blow w/ you, I apologize for being slow to welcome you to EEN.
Glad to have you with us. Eager to learn more about how you fit your ICM role and EE together.

Regarding the small cultures, its something I'm finding to be a strength in our business. The team spirit and engagement can be really high in some teams but not consistent across the business, so I'm working hard to get people to share what they do that works. Take a solution focus.
I imagine we share much in comment yet I think engagement also resides not just in nations or cultures but within the small cultures of each organization.
I appreciate you being the first member from New Zealand. I hope you find what you are searching for here and that you will also offer us a Kiwi perspective on the topic.
